Maintenance requirements vary by model. The exact manual, recall remedy, and qualified repair guidance take priority over a generic schedule.

Routine inspection

  • Check the stem, folding latch, handlebars, deck, fasteners, wheels, tires, controls, brake response, lights, and cables before riding.
  • Stop riding after an impact, water exposure, new noise, loose control, brake change, exposed wiring, warning light, or damaged battery enclosure until the cause is resolved.
  • Use only manufacturer-specified parts, batteries, and chargers. A connector that fits does not prove compatibility.
  • Keep friction surfaces free of oil and follow the manual's torque, pressure, wear-limit, and service instructions.

Battery and storage

Follow the manufacturer for charging temperature, storage charge, inspection, and end-of-life handling. Be present while charging, never charge while sleeping, and do not place lithium batteries in household trash or general recycling.
