Winter’s a hard time for all machines and it’s also the time that we need them the very most. As such, taking the time to get your scooter’s annual service before it starts to get cold can make sure it’s in tip top condition when Christmas rolls around again.
After you’ve used your Scooter make sure to dry it as best you can and remove any mud or grime, this will help slow down or stop any rust and keep it looking its best. Along the same lines, make sure to check tyres for signs of wear and tear before use and try and get them replaced before winter if they need replacing at all. A scooter cover will help keep all of its components safe from the elements if you’re storing yours outside!
When you’re preparing to go out, leave batteries charging until the very last minute to make sure you’ve got the maximum charge for your journey. Cold conditions reduce the range of your scooter so having fully charged and warm batteries will help keep the distance your can travel nice and high. Along the same lines, store your batteries indoors even if your scooter lives outside. Keeping that battery life up will help maintain your mobility in the winter months!
While you’re taking all that time making sure you scooter is in tip top form, don’t forget yourself! If you’re off out to brave the elements, remember to wrap up warm and prepare for the worst that winter can throw at you! English weather is a fickle thing, don’t let it catch you out.
