Maintenance Guide for your Electric Scooters

Electric scooters are a great way to commute in a more eco-friendly manner. They are also great for people who can't walk too far or have mobility issues. However, these scooters need to be maintained regularly so that they can last longer and keep the rider safe.

The electric scooter needs to be inspected every month by checking if the tires are inflated and if there is any damage to the frame. The brakes should also be checked and adjusted as needed. The battery should also be inspected every month as it will lose its charge over time and will eventually need to be replaced.

Keep your scooter away from water and moisture to prevent damage to the electrical system of your vehicle and also make sure that you don't submerge it in water or any other liquid substance for long periods to avoid any possible short-circuit or malfunctioning of components inside the motor or battery compartment, which may result in electric shock hazard for anyone who touches it or tries to use it after such an incident occurs, as well as potential damage

There are other components that you need to take care of too for better maintenance and durability of your electric scooters-

Battery

One of the most important aspects of owning an electric scooter is maintaining the battery. This includes properly charging and storing it, as well as making sure that it is not overcharged.

When you are charging your battery, it's best to charge it up to 80% and then unplug it. You should also check the temperature of your battery before charging or storing it for long periods. If the battery is too hot or cold, then you should avoid charging or storing it until the temperature has stabilized.

There are some simple steps that you can take to maintain your electric scooter’s battery:

- Always charge your battery when it runs out of power

- Keep track of how often you use the electric scooter so that it doesn't overheat

- Always charge your electric scooter at home or in a place with an available outlet.

Brakes

The best way to maintain the brakes of your electric scooter is to keep them clean and lubricated. Scooters with a disc brake system need a good amount of brake fluid to work. Brake fluid provides a protective coating for the metal discs and pads, which are usually made from cast iron. It also reduces the coefficient of friction between the disc and pad, which in turn helps reduce wear on both components. The fluid should be changed at least once every six months or more often if you ride in wet weather or go off-road.

Understanding brake bleeding

Brake Bleeding is the term used for eliminating air bubbles from hydraulic brakes. Loose brake levers are a clear indication of air bubbles in your bike's braking fluid. The easiest solution to brake bleeding is the regular maintenance of your hydraulic braking system, in terms of getting the brake fluid changed. With the course of time and exposure, the brake fluid eventually gets old. Discoloring is a common indication that now is the time for getting your brake oil renewed.

Folding Joints

The folding joints are the part of the foldable scooters that allows it to fold up. They are also called folding hinges. These hinges need to be lubricated every now and then so that they can work smoothly.

The most common type of hinge on an electric scooter is a ball-and-socket joint. The ball is on one side of the hinge and the socket is on the other side. This type of joint allows for 360-degree rotation which makes it perfect for folding up your scooter.

The folding joints of your electric scooter are essential for the stability and safety of the scooter. They allow you to fold up your scooter when it is not in use.

Here are some go-to tips for maintaining the folding joints of your electric scooter.

-First, make sure that there are no loose parts on the joint before you start opening or closing it.

-Second, make sure that all parts are aligned before you start opening or closing it.

-Third, tighten all screws on the joint before you start opening or closing it.

-Fourth, do not over tighten screws as this may cause them to break apart from the armature plate and/or frame.
