Maintenance Tips
-
Tire Care: Check and maintain rear tire pressure at ~40 PSI (2.8 BAR) monthly — correct pressure keeps steering and braking responsive.
-
Battery Routine: Charge the 36 V lithium‑ion battery regularly (every use or at least daily when in frequent use); plug in before it fully drains to prolong battery life.
-
Clean & Dry: Wipe down frame, controls, and footplate with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and moisture; avoid abrasive cleaners.
-
Fold Mechanism: Keep folding release and latch pins clean and free of debris to ensure smooth folding/unfolding.
-
Inspect Wheels & Parts: Look for wear or damage on tires, anti‑tip wheels, and pivot points; replace if worn or cracked.
-
Smooth Lever Control: Ensure control levers and variable speed trigger are unobstructed; adjust or tighten per manual if motion feels spongy (often due to low tire pressure).
-
Storage: Store indoors or in dry shade to protect electronics and tires from extreme temperatures and moisture.
