Electric scooter
in winter:
warm load,
cold ride!
With practical tips without starting problems with the electric scooter through the winter - here is the checklist:
- put on winter tires (also compulsory for two-wheelers)
- Check tire tread and pressure, light, horn, brakes
- Observe the battery principle: warm charge, cold run
- Do not store battery below 15 degrees minus (viscosity of electrolytes too high)
- store unused battery in a cool place in winter (for example basement)
- Do not leave the battery untouched for months. Learn more about battery maintenance.
- Protect the scooter from wet (best placed in a carport or garage)
- Drive carefully and adjust the driving style to the weather conditions
- Clean scooter with salt water using a cloth and a cloth / sponge.
This can additionally help:
- Protect chrome parts with commercial preservative spray
- install windscreen (available from emco as an accessory)
- Driving at cryogenic temperatures well below zero is possible. But then observe the principle: warm charge - cold ride (best to charge at low temperatures, because the ion flow is otherwise too slow.) Driving does not matter to the scooter in freezing temperatures s.o.)
