Why is preparation important?
After a long winter break, your VMAX e-scooter may have collected dust or show minor damage. A thorough inspection ensures that all components are in perfect working order and that you are safe on the road.
A well-maintained e-scooter not only offers better performance, but also reduces the risk of breakdowns. Regular maintenance extends the service life of your vehicle and saves repair costs in the long term. If you are unsure, you can have your VMAX e-scooter professionally checked at our service center in Rothrist.
Step-by-step instructions for preparation
- Cleaning: Remove dust and dirt with a damp cloth. Avoid aggressive cleaning agents and do not use a high-pressure cleaner.
- Check screws & components: Check all screws and components for tightness. Tighten any loose screws. View spare parts here.
- Inspection: Check tires, brakes and lights for wear or defects.
- Battery check: Fully charge the battery and check the charging socket for foreign objects or moisture. Buy original batteries. Damaged charging socket covers should be replaced. View cover now.
- Tire pressure: Check and optimize the tire pressure. Optimum pressure improves driving stability and increases range. Too low tire pressure increases rolling resistance, increases energy consumption and leads to permanent damage to the bearings, electrics, battery and tire carcass. Find tires and accessories.
- Test drive: After preparation: Drive off slowly and listen for noises or abnormalities.
