🔧 Pre-Ride Safety Checklist

Before every ride, take a few minutes to go through these key points:

1. Brakes

• Ensure both front and rear disc brakes function properly.

• Check that brake pads are not excessively worn.

• Verify that brake levers are firmly attached and respond without delay.

2. Wheels and Tires

• Check tire pressure regularly (refer to the sidewall for recommended PSI).

• Inspect tires for cuts, bulges, or excessive wear.

• Ensure wheels spin freely and are securely fastened.

3. Steering and Handlebars

• Confirm the handlebar is tight and properly aligned.

• Test the folding mechanism to ensure it’s securely locked in the open position.

4. Lights and Indicators

• Test the headlight, taillight, and turn signals to ensure they are working.

• Make sure the display panel is functioning and shows battery level, speed, and other info clearly.

5. Battery and Charging

• Ensure the battery is adequately charged before setting off.

• Inspect the charger and charging port for any damage before plugging in.

• Store and charge your scooter in a dry, cool place, away from flammable materials.
