Check all connections. Loose screws can quickly lead to further damage.

Check the tire tread and pressure.Low tire pressure = reduced range + increased wear.
Fully charge the battery and check the charging port. Moisture or dirt can cause damage over time.
Check your headlights and taillights. Good visibility is crucial—especially during the transitional season.
Start off slowly and watch for any unusual noises or handling. Apply the brakes deliberately several times while driving to remove surface rust and ensure full braking performance.
