Daily Protection and Maintenance
Cleaning
To clean stains on the surface of your scooter, use a soft cloth with water to
remove the stain. Other solutions may be used such as toothpaste and stain
solutions, but please ensure that they are safe and do not cause material
decay.
Note: Do not use alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, or any other corrosive
chemical solutions to clean your scooter, as they can damage the frame and/or
internal parts of your scooter. Ensure your scooter is powered off to prevent
any electric shocks during the cleaning process.
When storing, ensure your scooter is in an environment with a temperature rating from 15-30°C to keep the battery healthy. To improve the longevity of the battery, check that it is charged to 75% or more before storing it for extended periods. Turn the scooter on about once a month to verify the charge level has not dropped. If it drops below 30%, charge the battery back up to 75% before continuing to store it, for ultimate battery safety.
