Daily maintenance for electric scooters primarily covers battery care, tire inspection, cleaning and rust prevention, screw tightening, and brake system maintenance.
Battery Maintenance
1. Charging Habits: Avoid deep discharge or overcharging; it is recommended to charge when the battery level is between 20% and 30% and to unplug the charger promptly once fully charged.
2. Storage Environment: When not in use for extended periods, maintain the charge level between 50% and 80% and store the scooter in a cool, dry place, avoiding exposure to extreme temperatures.
3. Original Charger: Use the designated charger to prevent battery damage caused by voltage instability.
Tire Inspection
1. Tire Pressure Monitoring: Regularly check the pressure of pneumatic tires (refer to the manual for specifications); low pressure can lead to blowouts or increased power consumption.
2. Wear and Tear: For solid tires, inspect the surface for cracks; for pneumatic tires, check for punctures. Replace tires that show significant wear.
Cleaning and Rust Prevention
1. Body Cleaning: Wipe the scooter body with a damp cloth; avoid using high-pressure water jets directly on the motor or battery compartment.
2. Metal Parts: Regularly inspect components such as bearings and screws; apply a small amount of lubricant to prevent rust.
Screw Tightening
1. Regular Checks: Screws on the handlebars, deck, and folding mechanism are prone to loosening; it is recommended to tighten them with tools once a month.
2. Anti-Loosening Measures: Consider using thread-locking fluid to secure screws in critical areas.
Brake System Maintenance
1. Brake Pad Wear: Check the thickness of brake pads for disc or drum brakes; replacement is recommended if they are more than 50% worn.
2. Braking Responsiveness: If the brakes feel "soft" or make unusual noises, adjust the brake cable or replace the brake fluid (for hydraulic brakes).
