- Cleaning: Wipe the brake lever with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cable Check: Inspect the electrical wiring for any fraying, cuts, or loose connections. Ensure the cable is not pinched or rubbing against other parts of the scooter.
