Der Herbst bringt nicht nur kühleres Wetter, sondern auch wechselhafte Bedingungen wie Regen, Wind und feuchtes Laub auf den Strassen. Damit dein E-Scooter weiterhin sicher und zuverlässig funktioniert, solltest du ihn auf diese Jahreszeit vorbereiten. In diesem Beitrag zeigen wir dir, wie du deinen VMAX E-Roller fit für den Herbst machst, um sicher und komfortabel unterwegs zu sein.
Check the tires and brakes on your e-scooter
With damp leaves and wet streets, the risk increases, slip. That’s why it’s important to make sure your tires are in good condition. Check your tire tread—it should be deep enough to provide traction even in slippery conditions. If the tread depth is too shallow, you should consider replacing your tires.
The brakes also deserve special attention. Wet conditions can affect braking performance, so they should be tested and maintained regularly. If you notice that they aren’t gripping as well as usual, you’ll need to replace the brake pads or have them adjusted.
Optimize the lighting and visibility of the e-scooter
The days are getting shorter, and it’s often dark or twilight, especially in the morning and evening. That’s why proper lighting is essential. Check that your electric scooter’s headlights and taillights are working properly. If you ride a lot during twilight hours, you can attach additional reflectors to make yourself more visible.
Your own clothing also plays a role: Bright or reflective clothing increases your visibility in traffic and can help prevent accidents.
Don't neglect cleaning and maintaining your electric scooter
Wet leaves, mud, and street grime can easily stick to your scooter. That’s why regular cleaning is especially important in the fall. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the frame and tires. Make sure no water gets into the sensitive electronic components, especially the battery and the electronics.
To keep your electric scooter in good condition over the long term, you can lubricate the moving parts—such as the folding mechanism—with a special lubricant. This prevents corrosion and ensures that everything works smoothly.
Additional safety tips for fall
Autumn brings many unexpected hazards: wet leaves can make road conditions worse, and slippery surfaces can form more quickly than you might think. Therefore, drive more defensively and slower than you do in the summer. Avoid sudden maneuvers and keep a safe distance from other drivers.
Bottom line: Stay well-prepared for fall with your VMAX electric scooter
Der Herbst bringt einige Herausforderungen für E-Scooter-Fahrer mit sich, aber mit der richtigen Vorbereitung bist du sicher und komfortabel unterwegs. Achte auf deine Reifen, Bremsen und Beleuchtung, schütze deinen Scooter vor Nässe und sorge für regelmässige Pflege. So kannst du auch in der kühleren Jahreszeit die Vorteile deines Elektrorollers voll auskosten.
