How to clean and maintain a Kukirin electric scooter after purchasing it to extend its performance a
1. Daily maintenance: a few simple steps to prolong life
- Clean the body: Wipe the body with a clean cloth regularly to remove dust, dirt and stains. Avoid direct washing with a high-pressure water gun to avoid damaging electronic components.
- Check the tires: Check the tire pressure regularly to ensure that the pressure is within the recommended range (usually marked on the side of the tire). Insufficient air pressure will lead to reduced range and tire wear, while excessive air pressure will affect comfort and grip. Properly maintained tires provide better traction and a smoother ride.
- Check the screws and connectors regularly: Check and tighten the screws on the body regularly, especially the folding parts and wheel screws, to ensure that they are tightened in place to prevent safety hazards caused by looseness.
- Avoid extreme climates: Try to park the scooter in a cool and dry place, avoid long-term exposure to the sun and rain, to protect the battery and other electronic components.
Although Kukirin electric scooters have certain waterproof properties, try to avoid using them in extreme weather, such as heavy rain or extremely cold weather. Extreme climates may cause irreversible damage to batteries and motors.
2. Battery maintenance: the key to long-lasting scooter life
The battery is the core component of the electric scooter. Proper maintenance of the battery can extend its service life.
- Correct charging: Use the original charger to charge the battery and avoid overcharging or over-discharging. It is recommended to charge when the remaining power is about 20%, and unplug the charger in time after it is fully charged.
- Suitable temperature: Avoid using and storing the scooter in extreme temperatures. High temperature will shorten the battery life, and low temperature will affect the battery performance.
- Long-term storage: If the scooter is not used for a long time, it is recommended to keep the battery power at about 50% and charge it once every month.
3. Regular maintenance: Ride with peace of mind
-
Brake system: Brakes are the safety guarantee of scooters. Check the sensitivity and wear of the brake system regularly. If you find that the brakes are not sensitive or the brake pads are severely worn, adjust or replace the brake parts in time.
- Bearing lubrication: Regularly add lubricating oil to the wheel bearings to reduce friction and improve sliding efficiency.
- Professional maintenance: It is recommended to conduct professional maintenance once a year, and professional technicians will conduct a comprehensive inspection and maintenance of the scooter to detect and solve potential problems in time.
4. Other maintenance tips:
- Use the right accessories: Please use Kukirin original accessories to ensure compatibility and safety.
- Ride safely: Wear protective gear such as a helmet, obey traffic rules, and ride safely.
By following the above maintenance guide, you can easily extend the life of your Kukirin electric scooter and enjoy a longer-lasting and safer riding experience. Remember, regular maintenance is key, and by developing good usage habits, your Kukirin electric scooter will become your reliable travel partner!
