Electric scooters have emerged as a smart and affordable option amidst rapidly rising petrol prices and increasing awareness towards environment. But it becomes very important to take care of them during the rainy season, especially for the safety of battery. If some easy tips are kept in mind, not only the life of the battery can be increased, but the expenditure in daily journey can also be reduced.

Use eco mode wisely

• “Economy or Eco mode reduces battery consumption and increases the range of scooters. When there is no need for high speed, it is beneficial to travel in this mode.”

Do not put too much weight on the scooter

• The power of the e-scooter is limited. The pressure on the motor increases when there is excess weight, which ends the battery quickly and reduces the scooter range.

Avoid traffic, give priority to calm paths

• Repeated stopping and walking are used repeatedly the accelerator and brakes, which rapidly discharge the battery. So where possible, travel through low congested routes.

Limited use of non-essential features

• All features in the e-scooter-such as GPS, mobile connectivity, screen-are run by battery. By using them without need, the battery ends quickly. Use, but only when necessary.

Take care of battery charging and temperature

• Charge the battery only when its charge falls below 15%. Excessive heat or winter performance may affect the performance of batteries. The ideal temperature is around 15 ° C.

Keep air in tire enough

• If the air in the tire is in the right amount, then there will be no extra pressure on the motor and the battery consumption will be reduced.
