You have to take care properly of the battery as it is one of the most essential and costly parts of an electric scooter. Before charging the battery you must keep the battery cool because overheat can harm the battery easily. Different types of battery chargers are found in the market but you have to use the original battery charger to take your scooter best care because if you use original charger you don’t have to worry about overcharging as the battery fully charged it becomes shut down automatically.

The perfect tension of belt and chain is very important for a scooter. It protects your scooter to teeth to slip. You have to use the belt of proper length that you have to press in the center. Fix it and move the rear tire towards the front. If the chain and the belt lead to the teeth to slip for several times then change it and use new chain and belt. When you change the belt you have to make sure that the belt hub does not get any damage.

Before attaching it you must mark all the connectors to make the process easy and fast as these connectors and the harnesses link the motor, brake, battery, and lights. Make sure that the new control box is equal or bigger than the old one.
