You can no longer do without your scooter to get around? You are therefore aware that a scooter needs regular maintenance, otherwise your means of transport risks deteriorating quickly over time...
With a few simple gestures and a bit of common sense, you can make your scooter last and ensure that you maintain comfort in use.
ANTICIPATE THE WEAR OF YOUR SCOOTER
Save your brakes
Repeated use of your brake causes wear on the rear wheel, which can cause it to lose its circular shape and flatten out in places. To avoid this, put your foot down to stop whenever possible . The rest of the time, gently press the brake (you brake more slowly, but save your wheel).
Avoid riding in water or on dirty ground
If you ride in water, you wear out the bearings inside your wheels faster. Another damage observed: the non-slip strip on your plate loses its grip and you can be destabilized.
Cleanliness is better
Keeping your scooter clean remains the simplest and most effective way to maintain your scooter. A simple wipe of the bearings and often soiled parts (wheels, headset, non-slip strip, etc.) is always welcome.
