Frequently Asked Questions
? Can rain affect the working conditions?
While there are low chances of being electrocuted if you take your scooter out during a rainy day, there are other factors that you should be aware of. Deep puddles or flooded streets might damage the electrical system and ruin the battery, thus you should never submerge it underwater. Water can also cause rust and internal electrical damage if the internal system comes in contact with it. Plus, even the brakes might be affected by moisture and water, thus making it unsafe for further use. So, it is best to avoid using it on rainy days!
? Are they a good alternative to other commuting methods?
Overall, yes. They are a great alternative because they are nature-friendly, offer you a faster way to travel than walking, require little effort, and, if your model is foldable, you can easily store and carry it with you.
? Can I charge it at work?
Yes, you can. But take into account the possibility of buying one that can cover the distance from your house to your workplace in one go, if you don’t want to carry the charger with you all the time.
? Is there a specific way to charge one?
While the recommended battery charging procedure will differ from one manufacturer to the other, it tends to have similarities. When the battery indicator turns solid green, thus showing you it is charged, keep it plugged in for 15 to 30 minutes more to be sure it is completely charged. Usually, e-scooters tend to need from 8 up to 12 hours to fully charge. While there are some models that require only 4 or so hours to fully recharge, it is best to plug it in and let it charge after every use, regardless of the battery is fully drained or not. Plus, before you use it for the first time, it is recommended to let it charge for at least 12 hours – 15 at most.
? How many people can ride a scooter at the same time?
Only one. Only ride your scooter alone, otherwise, it is not safe.
? Can I make it faster?
No. There is no way to improve your scooter’s speed. Depending on weather conditions, terrain and how you use and maintain it, the top speed will remain the same as the first time you bought it. Keep it neat and tidy, away from dust, moisture, and water and you will see no speed lowering over time.
? How do I keep it in top shape?
There are a few things you have to consider aside those presented in the user manual.
- Never take it for a ride before the initial charge is completely done. It will mess up the battery.
- Check the battery connector regularly.
- Turn it off to preserve its battery whenever you don’t use it.
- Always turn it off when charging.
- Charge your device at least once a month for 4 hours during cold, winter weather.
- When you use it after a lengthy break, charge it for 24 hours.
Commuting from home to work and back might prove to be a hassle, especially if you happen to stumble into a traffic jam. So, in order to be able to avoid all the crowds, an electric scooter will provide you with increased mobility and less time spent on the road. For example, Glion 215 is a great choice if you want speed mixed with safety and a foldable, easily stored design. Built to last, it can reach up to 15 miles per hour and it allows you to travel as far as 15 miles. Not to mention that it is able to support up to 255 pounds.
But if you prefer a more relaxed and comfortable ride, which allows you to take a sit while enjoying the scenery, then a Razor 13114501 might be what you’re looking for. It comes with a bamboo deck, a detachable seat, and a rear basket, making it an excellent choice if you want to bring something with you, or simply if you don’t want to carry your groceries by hand. However, regardless of which of our recommended models you decide to try, you’ll have a pleasant experience.
