Autumn not only brings cooler weather, but also changeable conditions such as rain, wind and damp leaves on the streets. So that your e-scooter continues to work safely and reliably, you should prepare it for this time of year. In this post we show you how to make your Vmax e-scooter fit for autumn to be safe and comfortable.
Check the tires and brakes of your e-scooter
With damp leaves and wet streets, the risk increases slip away. It is therefore important that your tires are in perfect condition. Check the profile of your tires - it should be deep enough to offer stop even in slippery conditions. If the profile depth is too low, you should think about changing the tires.
The brakes also earn special attention. Wetness can influence the braking effect, so they should be tested and waited regularly. If you notice that it is no longer as good as usual, an exchange of brake pads or adjustment is necessary.
Optimize the lighting and visibility of the e-scooter
The days are getting shorter, and especially in the morning and evening hours it is often dark or dim. Functioning lighting is therefore essential. Check the headlights and the rear light of your electrical scooter on their functionality. If you are traveling a lot at dusk, you can attach additional reflectors to be seen better.
Your own clothes also play a role: Bright or reflective clothing increases your visibility in road traffic and can prevent accidents.
Do not neglect the cleaning and maintenance of your electrical scooter
Wet leaves, mud and street dirt can easily settle in your scooter. Regular cleaning is therefore particularly important in autumn. Use a damp cloth to wipe the frame and the tires. Make sure that no water penetrates the sensitive electronic parts, especially the battery and the electronics.
To protect the electroscooter in the long term, you can maintain 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 autumn
Many unexpected dangers lurk in autumn: wet leaves can deteriorate the road conditions, and smoothness arises faster than expected. So drive more defensive and slower than in summer. Avoid abrupt maneuvers and keep enough distance from other road users.
Conclusion: Well equipped by autumn with your Vmax Elektro Scooter
Autumn brings some challenges for e-scooter drivers, but with the right preparation you are safe and comfortable. Pay attention to your tires, brakes and lighting, protect your scooter from moisture and take care of regular care. So you can fully enjoy the advantages of your electric scooter in the cooler season.
