10 Tips to Keep Your Electric Scooty in Top Shape
Electric scooties require significantly less maintenance than petrol vehicles, but following these tips will extend the life of your vehicle and battery.
1. Battery Charging Best Practices
2. Tyre Pressure Check (Monthly)
Maintain recommended tyre pressure (usually 28-32 PSI). Under-inflated tyres reduce range by up to 15% and cause uneven wear.
3. Brake Inspection (Every 3 Months)
Check disc brake pads for wear. Replace when pad thickness falls below 2mm. Properly functioning brakes are essential for safety.
4. Clean Your Scooter Regularly
Use a damp cloth to wipe down the body. Avoid high-pressure water jets near the motor, battery compartment, and electrical connections.
5. Check All Lights
Verify headlamp, tail lamp, indicators, and DRL are functioning. LED lights last longer but should still be checked regularly.
6. Lubricate Moving Parts
Apply light lubricant to the side stand hinge, throttle cable (if applicable), and brake lever pivot points every 3 months.
7. Store Properly
If storing for extended periods, charge the battery to 50-60% and disconnect. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
8. Monitor Range Performance
If you notice a sudden drop in range (more than 20%), get the battery health checked by an authorized service center.
9. Keep Electrical Connections Dry
After riding in rain, wipe down the charging port and any exposed electrical connections to prevent corrosion.
10. Annual Service
Even though EVs need less maintenance, get an annual check-up at an authorized Bhoomi service center for a comprehensive inspection.
