Looking after your Pure scooterUpdated 2 months ago

Regular maintenance significantly extends the life of your e-scooter and ensures optimal performance and safety.

1. Cleaning

• Clean the scooter regularly with a dry or lightly damp cloth.
• Do not use pressure washers, hoses, or submerge in water.
• After riding in rain, wipe away moisture from the deck, stem, and charging port before storage or charging.

2. Tyres

• Check tyre pressure regularly and inflate to the recommended pressure (see the tyre sidewall, typically 2.5 bar / 36 PSI).
• Check tread depth for wear and replace tyres when excessively worn.

3. Check moving parts

• Brakes: test before each ride and tighten cables if they feel loose.
• Bolts and screws: inspect regularly, especially around the handlebar, stem, and folding mechanism. Tighten as needed, but do not overtighten.
• Suspension (if fitted): ensure it moves smoothly with no unusual sounds or stiffness.

4. Regular maintenance

• Weekly check: give your scooter a quick once-over for loose parts, damage, or unusual noises.
• Folding mechanism: keep it clean and free of grit. Apply a small amount of silicone spray if needed for smooth operation.
• Brake pads: if your scooter has disc brakes, check the pads for wear and replace when thin.

5. Storage and transport

• Store indoors in a dry, room-temperature environment, away from moisture, direct sunlight, or freezing conditions.
• Avoid impacts: ride carefully over bumps, kerbs, and rough terrain to protect components and frame integrity.
• Transport safely: when folded, secure the scooter properly to avoid cable or clip damage.
