Cleaning And Storage

If there are stains on the surface of the scooter, use a soft cloth and dip in a small amount of water to wipe; If there are stains that are difficult to clean, smear them with toothpaste and brush them repeatedly, then clean them with a damp cloth. If the plastic parts of the body are scratched, use sandpaper or other abrasive materials to polish them.

Tips:
Do not use alcohol, gasoline, kerosene or other corrosive and volatile chemical solvents to clean, otherwise it will seriously damage the appearance and internal structure of the body. Do not use pressurized water to spray and wash.
Ensure that the scooter is off and the charging port rubber cover is tightly fastened during cleaning, otherwise electric shock or serious failure may occur due to internal water flow. When not in use, store in a dry and cool place indoors. Avoid outdoor storage for a long time. Long-term sun exposure, overheating and cold outdoor environment will accelerate the appearance and tire aging of the scooter, and reduce the service life of the scooter and battery pack.

Tire Inflation and Maintenance

The product uses puncture-proof tubeless tires, please check the tire pressure carefully before riding, and ensure the tire pressure is 45-50 psi. When the tire height sinks 20%-30%, it is time to inflate. The recommended tire pressure is 45-50 psi after inflation, and the tire should be inflated at least once every 2-3 months.
Regular inflation and cleaning of tire surface debris can prolong the service life of the tire.
