Schedule
The frequency of maintenance and cleaning depends on how much you
ride and under which conditions. Recreational riders should need far less
maintenance than daily commuters. The harder you ride or harsher your
riding conditions, the more you have to take care of your eScooter if you
want it to last.There are various time intervals for proper maintenance.
Quick checks and maintenance should be done before & after every ride.
More in depth maintenance steps should be taken every couple of months
or as issues are identified.
Cleaning
Cleaning is the number one thing you can do in order to ensure your GIO
will serve you for a long time. In the long run, it will save you money and a
lot of time waiting for the eScooter to be repaired. Ideally, you should clean
your GIO after each ride. But it really depends on your riding style and on
how much you ride. A good rule of thumb is that if you ride more than 2 or 3
times a week, clean your eScooter weekly.
Always clean the eScooter with care, the electrical components don't take
kindly to increased pressure water streams. A strong enough water stream
could breach the waterproof seals of the electrical components and even
force water into them and cause premature failure. Therefore, don't use
aggressive water sprays or power jets when washing the eScooter and
keep water away from the battery/motor/brain module and other electrical
components as possible.
Clean gently removing any dirt, debris, sand, mud, and grit that got caught
on the eScooter. Ensure the eScooter is dry, after cleaning or after getting
wet riding in wet conditions. Always make sure the outer casings of electric
parts are dry and do not attempt to open them to clean inside. You will,
most likely, not be able to properly reseal the components which will lead to
further exposure to water.
Lubrication
After cleaning, it is also advisable to lubricate the chain, levers, derailleur,
cables, etc. A clean, lubricated eScooter will tend to be faster, smoother
and quieter. A lubricant should be applied on all moving and/or rubbing
components such as: axles, bushings, free wheels etc. approximately every
6 months (more often under heavy or bad weather use)
