You might be surprised to hear that you can ride any Currie electric scooter
in pretty much the same conditions you would expect to ride a normal
bicycle or scooter. In fact as long as you don't submerge the electrical
components you'll be fine. This means avoiding deep puddles or streams,
that would cause the electrical components to be under water. All of our
electric scooters are designed to operate normally if they get wet. There
is no need to worry about electrocutions or shocks from riding in the rain.
Of course you must take special precautions when riding in wet weather
as braking distances will be greater and handling on slippery surfaces
compromised, as will visibility.
• WHaT Is THe CoRReCT aIR PRessURe foR THe TIRes?
For scooters equipped with a solid tire(s) inflating the tires is not necessary.
For scooters equipped with pneumatic tires check tire pressure imprinted
