The Excel Galaxy II is compatible his scooter is equipped with four polyurethane tyres. Polyurethane
(PU) tyres are leak-proof tyres. These are increasingly being used on scooters as standard. An
advantage of PU tyres is that they do not need not be pumped up and can not be punctured.
PU tyres should also be checked as a precautionary measure, although they are maintenance free and
require no regular maintence it is important to check they are in good condition to ensure they are safe

Taking good care of the bodywork is very important, because well maintained bodywork also protects
the mechanical parts or your scooter. The main reason for taking care of the bodywork is to prevent it
from rusting. To care for your bodywork, check the following aspects;
• Washing your scooter is useful for preventing dirt to stick to the material and eat away at it.
• Van Os Medical reccommends you to wash your scooter weekly.
• Keep the bodywork of your scooter clean with car shampoo and a moist cloth. Do not hose down
your scooter! You can dry the bodywork using a soft cloth.
• Use cold water and a mild soap to remove grease and dirt.
