  • Lights: Make sure all lights are working correctly.
  • Clean your scooter: Wipe down your scooter to remove any dirt or debris.

Monthly Maintenance

Once a month, take some time for a more thorough inspection:

  • Check all nuts and bolts: Make sure all fasteners are tight.
  • Inspect the folding mechanism: If you have a folding scooter, check for any wear and tear.
  • Check the battery: Inspect the battery for any signs of damage or swelling.
  • Lubricate moving parts: Apply lubricant to any moving parts, such as the folding mechanism and wheel bearings.

Pro Tip: Battery Care

To maximize your battery's lifespan, avoid fully depleting it. Try to keep the charge between 20% and 80%. Also, store your scooter in a cool, dry place.

Annual Maintenance

Once a year, it's a good idea to have your scooter professionally serviced. A mechanic can check the motor, battery, and other electrical components to ensure everything is in good working order.
