How to care for your electric scooter during long-term storage
When you're not using your electric scooter for an extended period, it’s important to look after its battery and overall condition. Here’s how to keep it in top shape while it rests!
🔋 1. Charge the Battery Before Storage
Make sure the battery is fully charged before storing the scooter.
A full battery is less likely to degrade over time compared to a partially charged one.
🌡️ 2. Store in a Cool, Dry Place
Choose a cool, dry location away from:
☀️ Direct sunlight
🔥 High temperatures
❄️ Extreme cold
Heat accelerates battery and component wear.
🔍 3. Check the Battery Level Regularly
Every so often, check the battery level:
Recharge if it drops too low
Avoid storing the battery at very low or very high charge levels
Lithium-ion batteries stay healthiest in the mid-range.
🔌 4. Disconnect the Battery (If Possible)
If storing the scooter for a long period, consider disconnecting the battery to prevent slow power drain—even when the scooter is off.
🛠️ 5. Perform Regular Maintenance
Even in storage, give your scooter some love:
Check tyre pressure
Lubricate moving parts
Inspect components for any signs of wear or damage
📘 6. Follow Manufacturer Guidelines
Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for long-term storage. Different models may have specific recommendations.
