Regular maintenance and care of small lightweight electric scooters are essential to extend their service life, ensure riding safety, and maintain good performance. The following is a detailed description of their regular maintenance items and maintenance cycles.
First, the appearance inspection should be more frequent, and it is recommended to be carried out once a week. Check whether the body has scratches, cracks or deformations, which may affect the structural integrity and aesthetics of the vehicle. At the same time, check whether the stickers and logos are intact. If they fall off, they should be handled in time to avoid affecting the recognition of the vehicle.
The brake system is a key safety component and needs to be inspected and maintained every two weeks. Check whether the travel of the brake handle is normal and whether the brake line has signs of looseness, wear or breakage. If the brake is found to be ineffective, the tightness of the brake line should be adjusted in time or the worn brake pads should be replaced to ensure effective braking in an emergency.
Tire maintenance should not be ignored. Check the tire pressure and tire wear every two weeks. Appropriate tire pressure can ensure riding comfort and stability. Generally, the standard tire pressure value on the vehicle manual can be referred to for adjustment. If the tire pattern is severely worn, the grip will decrease, and the tire should be replaced in time to prevent slipping accidents.
As the power source of electric scooters, batteries should be deep-maintained once a month. Check whether the battery has bulges or leakage, and whether the connection lines are firm. At the same time, pay attention to whether the battery power display is accurate. If the mileage is significantly shortened, it may be that the battery performance has declined, and further inspection or repair is required. In terms of charging, follow the principle of shallow charging and shallow discharge, avoid overcharging and over-discharging to extend the battery life.
The motor can be inspected once a month. Check whether the motor housing is damaged and whether there is abnormal noise or vibration during operation. If a motor failure is found, such as no rotation or abnormal speed, it should be stopped immediately and sent to a professional maintenance personnel for inspection to avoid more serious damage.
The transmission system, such as chains or belts (if any), should be inspected and cleaned every two months. Check whether the tightness is appropriate. Too loose will cause poor power transmission, and too tight will increase wear. At the same time, clean the dirt and debris on the chain or belt, and use special cleaners and lubricants for maintenance to ensure smooth operation.
The steering system is checked every three months. Check whether the steering is flexible and whether the headset is loose. If the steering feels stuck, adjust the headset gap or add grease in time to ensure the controllability of the ride.
By reasonably determining the regular maintenance items and maintenance cycles of the small lightweight electric scooter and strictly implementing them, the vehicle can always maintain a good operating condition and provide riders with a safe and convenient travel experience.
