Your scooter is also vulnerable to accidental damage outdoors in bad weather (such as hail or rainstorm).

A high-value mobile scooter lock will help prevent thieves. It can prevent thieves from driving away the scooter, while high-quality bicycle or motorcycle locks are heavier and can tie your scooter to sturdy pillars such as lamp posts.

3.Mobile Scooter Alert

An alternative solution to mobile scooter locks is to install an alarm on your scooter. The alarm is installed in a concealed part of the scooter, usually at the bottom of the seat. If someone is sitting in your commuter car, a loud alarm will sound.

4.Parking in a safe location

Choose well lit areas or spacious parking areas to avoid scratches from other vehicles due to insufficient lighting and space. Reduce unnecessary troubles.

5.Install tracking devices

If possible, consider purchasing a GPS tracker to install on your commuting vehicle. If unfortunately stolen by a thief, you can report to the police for handling, and the police can quickly help you recover your scooter based on GPS positioning.

7.Weather protection tips

If you encounter bad weather such as rainstorm when driving outdoors. The controller and battery of mobile scooters are key protected objects, and the cover of the scooter is necessary to protect them from rain and snow. Car covers can also prevent direct exposure to ultraviolet rays and extend the service life of commuting vehicles.

8.Regular maintenance and inspection

Routine inspection: The wear and tear of tires, especially inflatable tires, should be carefully checked. Whether the function keys are functioning properly, including the lights, horn, and brake lights, especially after exposure to harsh weather conditions.

Battery maintenance: Keep the scooter battery healthy, especially when it is stored outdoors for a long time.

Before using the scooter, it is necessary to regularly check the battery to ensure its good performance and determine if it needs to be replaced. If the commuting car has not been used for a long time, it is recommended to charge it every 2-3 days or drive a certain distance to ensure good battery performance.

Advantages and disadvantages of indoor and outdoor storage for mobile scooters

Indoor and outdoor storage have their own advantages and disadvantages, depending entirely on the living space.

Indoor storage reduces the demand for car covers and provides a secure space for storage. This option is only applicable to households with larger residential spaces.

On the other hand, outdoor storage of mobile scooters requires accessories such as car covers or carports to protect them from rain and theft. If insufficient space means this is your only option, then investing in these accessories is worth it to prevent your mobile scooter from being stolen or damaged, causing greater losses.
