Scooter Care

10-Point Check

In order to keep your scooter working properly and safely, you should check it regularly – we recommend you give it a quick 10-Point Check every 6-8 weeks.

1.     Horn – Check this is still operating effectively, especially if you haven’t used it very often.  A weak horn can indicate the battery charge is low.

2.     Lights & Indicators – Check all are working properly by switching them on and off, and verifying that they switch on and off as they should.

3.     Brakes – Check your scooter responds effectively and immediately when you release the thumb throttle, and again when you apply the brakes.

4.     Battery – Check the battery is fully charged and charging properly if you haven’t used your scooter for a while. Click here for our Battery Maintenance guide.

5.     Tyre Condition – Check that you have plenty of tread on the tyres and they are wearing evenly, if not then you need to adjust your tyre pressure.  

6.     Tyre Pressure – Keep your scooter’s tyres inflated to manufacturers’ recommendations.

7.     Seat & Arm Rest Fixings – Check all screws and nobs are still securely fastened.

8.     Scooter Body – Visually check the body of your scooter for any unusual bumps or scrapes (ones you may have not done yourself!) in case further repair work is required.

9.     Mirrors – Sit in the seat and adjust the mirrors so that you can see clearly behind and to the left and right of your scooter.

10.  Accessories – Check these are all securely fastened.
