Title: Use these 3 tips and keep your electric scooter keep going Description: It was Electrotherm (I) Limited who had first introduced the environmentally safe electric scooters in India under the brand of YObykes. This conglomerate offers an exciting range of two-wheelers that are economical, convenient and safe along with being eco-friendly. Conventional vehicles run through fossil fuels such as diesel, petrol or gas. Also, their mechanism consists of some complex and heavy parts such as gear box, gasoline engine, clutch plates and more. Because of these weighty components, conventional automobiles are heavy in weight and so, are harder to manage. In addition, such complex parts need more maintenance and costly repair. On the other side, electric scooters are safe to environment as they do not use any fossil fuel. Additionally, they have a rechargeable battery and a motor which only can be counted as the major components. So along with being light in weight, they are easy and simple to maintain as well. And what is the reason? Absence of any complex mechanism in such vehicles! So to keep your battery bike running well, you don’t have to do much. Just keep in mind some following tips and you are good to go!
1. Regularly charge the battery It is recommended to regularly charge the battery of your bike as well as avoid discharge in use. To enjoy some unexpected trips, you should charge it as and when you can! Also, avoid keeping the battery in discharged mode for a long period of time. If your bike has not been used for two or three weeks, then you should charge it first before you use it. Always prefer to charge the battery using Electrotherm approved or supplied charger to maintain a good battery life. And never think to dismantle either the charger or the battery. 2. Lubricate your electric scooter at regular intervals Lubricate the parts of your scooter, especially those which are exposed to the atmosphere. Lubrication can be done by any general purpose oil or lubricant such as Active 4T (Castrol) or MP3 Grease. Oiling (lubrication) is required for bearing fittings such as rear and front axles, steering and frame joints, pedal pivots, brake lever joints, bearings on central pedal axle, chain, etc. After greasing the parts, excess oil or grease should be cleaned with the help of a cotton cloth. Apart from this, keep in mind that if it’s a dusty or rainy season, lubrication will be needed more often. 3. Use the battery bike properly Avoid over speeding or overloading your e-scooter because doing so will substantially reduce its range. Avoiding the racing start is also a must because it can faster drain the energy from its
battery. So avoid fast acceleration and start your two-wheeler gradually. Unnecessary and frequent braking while riding the bike can also reduce the overall performance of your e-bike. Other than this, maintain proper pressure in the tyres as under-inflation of the tyres may increase the rolling resistance and ultimately, waste the energy. And don’t forget to clean your bike regularly but avoid using water-under-pressure as it may damage the electric components. And last but not the least, turn off the power whenever your battery bike is not in use (road crossing signals, etc.). So consider these 3 tips and let your electric scooter keep running smoothly. This way, you would be able to enjoy a carefree and happy ride. Visit YObykes.in for more information or booking a YO ride.
