7. Maintenance
Cleaning
Wipe the scooter clean with a damp cloth after each use. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Do not use high-pressure water jets to clean the scooter, as this can damage electronic components.
Storage
Store the scooter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for an extended period, ensure the battery is charged to approximately 50-70% and recharge it every 30-60 days to prevent battery degradation.
