Electric scooters have become a popular means of transportation for their practicality and eco-friendliness. However, to ensure their durability and your safety, it's essential to adopt certain best practices. Here are some preliminary tips for maintaining and using your Iscooter electric scooter optimally.
1. Prioritize safety: wearing protection
Before you even hit the road, make sure you're wearing the right protective gear. Wearing a helmet is essential to minimize risks in the event of a fall or accident. Depending on your speed and the road environment, you may also want to consider knee pads, elbow pads, and gloves for complete protection.
2. Avoid humidity and puddles
Water is one of the main enemies of electric scooters. Therefore, it's best to avoid using your scooter in the rain or riding through puddles. Moisture can cause short circuits, corrode electronic components, and damage the battery. If you must ride in wet weather, be sure to dry your scooter after use.
3. Keep the packaging carton
It is strongly recommended that you keep your scooter's original box. This will be useful if you need to return the scooter in the event of a breakdown or for a warranty return to Iscooter France. Additionally, if you plan to resell your scooter in the future, the original packaging can be a valuable asset.
4. Monitor tire pressure
Optimal tire pressure is essential to ensure good grip and prevent premature wear. It is recommended to check tire pressure regularly and maintain it between 3 and 3.5 bars. Inadequate inflation can impair handling and increase your scooter's energy consumption.
5. Check and tighten the screws
Over time and due to vibrations from use, some screws may loosen. It is therefore advisable to regularly check to ensure that all fasteners are properly tightened. A well-maintained scooter guarantees better stability and increased safety when riding.
6. Lubricate axles and suspensions
To ensure smooth operation and extend the life of mechanical components, it is important to periodically lubricate axles and suspensions. This regular maintenance helps prevent squeaking and improves driving comfort.
7. Charge the battery regularly
Proper battery management is essential to maintain battery life and longevity. It's recommended to charge your scooter at least once a week, even if you don't use it frequently. Be careful not to leave the battery charging for more than 24 hours to avoid overcharging, which could affect its performance.
8. Keep proof of the serial number
The serial number of your iscooter scooter is valuable information in case of theft or breakdown. It is located on the side of the scooter's casing, printed in large white letters (iscooter series i9, i9pro, i9Max, i10, i10pro, i10Max, i12, iX3, iX4, iX5s, iX6, iX7) or on the S/N number label (iX8). It is strongly recommended to take a photo of this number and write it down somewhere safe. In case of theft, this information will make it easier to report it to the authorities and increase your chances of recovering your scooter.
Conclusion
Maintaining and using your electric scooter responsibly is essential to maximize its lifespan and ensure your safety. By following these simple tips, you'll enjoy an optimal riding experience while avoiding premature breakdowns. Adopting these best practices now will allow you to ride with peace of mind and safety.
