How do I store my electric scooter during the winter or extended downtime?

If you won’t be using your electric scooter for an extended period—for example, during the winter—it’s important to store it properly. This will prevent damage to the battery, tires, and electronics, and keep your scooter in good condition.

Battery

• Charge level - charge the battery to 50-70% before putting the scooter away.
• Recharge - check every 1-2 months and recharge if necessary. Never drain the battery completely.
• Do not charge constantly - do not leave the scooter on the charger for long periods of time.

Storage

• Dry and cool - ideal storage temperature is between 10 °C and 20 °C.
• No frost or extreme heat - do not leave the scooter outside in the cold or in direct sunlight.
• Avoid moisture - clean and dry the scooter before storing it.

Preparing your scooter

• Clean - remove mud, dust and moisture to prevent corrosion.
• Tires - inflate pneumatic tires to recommended pressure; not necessary with solid tires.
• Movable parts - check hinges/folding mechanisms and lubricate lightly if necessary.

During standstill

• Do not leave it on the stand for months - this can cause tire deformation.
• Place it upright or move it occasionally - this will prevent the tires from flattening.

Conclusion

For extended periods of inactivity or winter storage: charge the battery to 50–70%, recharge it regularly, store the scooter in a clean, dry, and cool place, inflate the tires, and keep it out of the frost. This will keep your electric scooter in top condition so you can ride worry-free again in the spring.
