• CARE & MAINTENANCE

WARNING! As with any mechanical component, a vehicle is subject to high stresses and wear. The various materials and components may react differently to wear or fatigue. If the expected service life for a component has been exceeded, it may break suddenly, therefore risking causing injuries to the user. Cracks, scratches and discoloration in the areas subject to the high stresses indicate that the component has exceeded its service life and should be replaced.

Your E-Scooter Pursuit will require regular maintenance. Please use the following checklist to ensure your E-Scooter runs smoothly for a longer time.

•  Charge your battery often. Avoid charging your battery for too long to avoid damage to it.
• Always allow your battery to cool before charging to help increase your battery’s life expectancy.
•  Avoid riding in wet conditions when possible, to avoid excessive exposure and corrosion.
• Keep all moving components clean. Once a week, use a clean, damp cloth to wipe off dust and grime that collected on the handlebars and stem. Wash the deck with lukewarm water and a bit of dish soap. Take care not to get the electrical components wet. Let the components dry before you use the scooter again.
•  Check your brakes, brake discs, and rotors for wear and tear on a weekly basis. Do not ride your E-Scooter if the brakes don’t respond properly.
•  Check your E-Scooter’s tire pressure on a regular basis. Proper inflation helps you reach maximum speed without taxing your motor.
• Inspect all cables for wear and tear regularly. If you notice any damage to the cables or their housing, they may need to be replaced.
•  The self-tightening nuts, as well as the other self-tightening fastenings, may lose their efficiency. They may need to be retightened as follows: M4 bolt: 2.5~3.5 N/m – M5 bolt: 4~6 N/m – M6 bolt: 12~14 N/m – M7 bolt: 27~29 N/m.
•  If you’re using your E-Scooter as your primary means of transportation, it is advised to contact your reseller and schedule an annual inspection with a qualified maintenance shop.
•  Keep all joints and parts, such as brakes and hinges, lubricated. Please lubricate at least once a month to keep the scooter in good condition. Please use lubricants designed for bicycles and scooters.
• Store your E-Scooter in a safe place (inside) to prevent damage to electrical parts or the battery. Choose a location that’s out of direct sunlight and in an area where temperatures are steady.

Cleaning
If stains appear on the surface of your scooter, rub them with a soft and damp cloth. In case of stubborn stains, you can first scrub with a soft cloth soaked in toothpaste, then rub with a soft, damp cloth. Never clean with alcohol, gasoline or other corrosive or volatile chemical solvents. This may damage the appearance and structure of the vehicle. Never use a pressure washer to clean your scooter, you may be subjected to electric shock or cause serious damage to your vehicle.
Storage
You must store your vehicle in a room away from heat and moisture. Prolonged exposure to the sun or heat can accelerate the aging of your scooter and shorten battery life.
Battery maintenance
Please do not expose the batteries to an environment higher than 50°C or lower than – 20°C (e.g. do not leave the battery in the trunk of your car), this could cause ignition of the batteries or significant damage to your drums. To prevent the battery from being discharged, try recharging it regularly and not waiting for it to discharge completely. To make the best use of battery life, it is recommended to use it at normal temperatures. When the battery is full, charging is available up to 90-120 days in pause mode. If the battery is not full, charging is available up to 20-50 days in pause mode. It is important not to leave the discharged battery for too long as this could cause serious damage.
