Prepare your scooter for storage

Here are a few steps you need to know before storing it.

√ Thorough cleaning

If mild dirt or dust is stuck in your scooter registration, do a thorough cleaning for your electric friend.

Use metal-friendly detergents or shampoo to clean it properly so there will be no traces of dirt left on its body.

Now swipe all the water from the body with the fabric cloth so that there is no mark of water left on it.

√ Lubrication with oil

Use the scooter or car oil to lubricate the metallic parts of your scooter, including different nuts or nails. This will prevent the rust that usually occurs after washing the metal.

√ Recharge the battery

Never store your scooter without charging it. It is not compulsory to let your scooter’s battery out of the body, but you need to charge it before storing it.

Like your phone, your scooter’s charge also falls gradually. As a result, it falls by 1% to 2% per month until there is no charge at the end of the year. So, you should charge your scooter after one month if it is not in use.

√ Pack your scooter properly

It would signify your love for your scooter to make a proper place and a bag to store it in. It would be a good approach if the bag were airtight and waterproof, preventing dirt from entering the scooter.

Why does the battery lose the charging passively?

The gradual fall of charge happens if the temperature fluctuates. Whether you use it or not, heating fluctuations significantly reduce charging.

So, keep your scooter at room temperature, slightly chilled, and dry at all times. Remember, the temperature below freezing point, or you can say a freezing place, is also not appropriate for the battery, just like extreme heat is not suitable for it.

If your motorized scooter is stored at an extreme temperature, whether hot or cold, always give some rest to the battery at room temperature.

Where do you need to store your scooter?

The place you choose for your scooter must be accessible, as you will need to keep in touch with your scooter registration frequently for charging or other cleaning purposes. So it would be better to keep it in the corner of your room, inside your bed, or in your cupboard.

 

However, select a place having a temperature of no more than 45 degrees Celsius and no less than 5 degrees Celsius. Exceeding this temperature limit can cause damage to your battery as it is made of lithium.

The place you are choosing must be clean and dry. Dryness is the most preferable in this regard. If the ceiling is dripping, then the site is not acceptable to store your scooter.

Please don’t allow any other object to be placed near your bird scooter, as falling on it can cause permanent dent or damage to the body. And sometimes, left your scooter with no use due to a broken handle or other parts of your scooter.
