3. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your electric scooter.

3.1 General Cleaning

• Wipe down the scooter with a damp cloth after each use to remove dirt and dust.

• Inspect tires for wear, punctures, or damage before each ride.

3.3 Battery Care

• Charge the battery fully after each ride, especially if storing for an extended period.

4. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Caroma Peak Electric Scooter.

4.1 Scooter Does Not Power On

4.2 Reduced Range or Power
