17. Daily maintenance and care

Cleaning and storage

• If there are stains on the body of the electric scooter, wipe them off with a damp cloth. If
stains persist, apply some toothpaste, brush with a toothbrush, then wipe with a damp cloth.
If there are scratches on the plastic components, use sandpaper or other abrasive material to
remove them. Note: do not clean the electric scooter with alcohol, petrol, kerosene or other
corrosive and volatile chemical solvents, to avoid serious damage. Do not wash the electric
scooter with jets of high pressure water.
When cleaning the electric scooter, make sure that it is turned off, that the charging cable is
disconnected, and the rubber cap is closed, as a water leak may cause an electric shock or
other serious problems. When the electric scooter is not in use, store it indoors in a cool, dry
place. Do not store it outdoors for extended periods of time. Excessive sunlight, overheating,
and excessive cold accelerate tyre ageing and jeopardize the life of both the electric scooter
and the battery.
• Check the brakes and make sure they are adjusted correctly.
• Check the tyre pressure (see the side of the tyre for the recommended value)
1. Only use original batteries, as other models or brands may pose a safety risk.
2. Do not dismantle, crush, or puncture the product. Do not touch the battery contacts. Do not
dismantle or puncture the outer casing. Avoid bringing the scooter into contact with water or
fire and do not expose it to temperatures exceeding 50 °C (including heat sources such as
stoves, heaters, etc.). Avoid contact between metal objects and battery terminals to prevent
short circuits, physical harm or death.
3. Water seeping into the battery may cause damage to internal circuits and risk of fire or
explosion. Should you suspect that water may have entered the battery, stop using the battery
immediately and return it to your dealer's after-sales service for checking.
4. Use only the original charger to avoid potential damage or fire.
5. Improper disposal of used batteries seriously pollutes the environment. Follow local
regulations regarding battery disposal. Follow battery disposal regulations to protect the
environment.
6. After each use, fully recharge the battery to extend its useful life. Do not store the battery
in an environment where the temperature is above 50°C or below -20°C (for example, do not
leave the electric scooter or the battery in a car under direct sunlight for an extended period of
time). Do not throw the battery into a fire as this could damage it, cause overheating or even
a fire. If you do not intend to use the scooter for more than 30 days, recharge the battery to
50/60% and store it in a cool, dry place. Remember to recharge it every 60 days to protect it
from any damage, which would void the limited warranty. Always recharge the battery before it
is flat out to extend its useful life.
