Care

While the open design of a scooter re-

veals the attractiveness of the technol-
ogy, it also makes it more vulnerable.
Rust and corrosion can develop even if
high-quality components are used. Fre-
quent and proper care does not only
comply with the terms of the warranty,
but it will also keep your scooter looking
good, extend its life and optimize its
performance.
Before cleaning
1. Make sure that the seat is properly
closed before cleaning.
2. Make sure that all caps and covers
as well as all electrical couplers
and connectors, are tightly in-
stalled.
3. Remove extremely stubborn dirt,
with a degreasing agent and a
brush, but never apply such prod-
ucts onto seals, gaskets and wheel
axles. Always rinse the dirt and de-
greaser off with water.

short circuit.
Do not wash the charging cord
and charging plug. Wipe clean
with a dry rag.
Avoid using strong acidic wheel
cleaners, especially on spoked
wheels. If such products are
used on hard-to-remove dirt, do
not leave the cleaner on the af-
