How to Store Your Electric Scooter Safely When Not in Use

Owning an electric mobility scooter means more than just enjoying the ride. It’s about taking care of it, even when it’s not in use. Whether you're storing your scooter for a weekend or a season, proper storage is key to keeping it in peak condition, ready for your next adventure.

Let's explore how to store your electric mobility scooter safely and effortlessly.

Indoor vs. outdoor storage

First things first, where are you planning to store your scooter? Whether indoors or outdoors, each option has its pros and cons. Whether indoors or outdoors, in winter or summer, the dash 3 is built to make storage easy with its compact, foldable design and durable carbon fiber frame.

Final verdict

If you’ve got the room, indoor storage is your best bet, offering maximum protection from weather and theft. But with the right precautions, storing it outside is also possible.

Indoor storage benefits

• Protection from rain, wind, and temperature extremes
• Keeps your dash 3 more protected from theft
• Keeps battery and motor in better shape long-term

If you have a garage, basement, or even a closet, these can be perfect spots for your electric mobility scooter.

Always simple scooter storage

Tight on space? No problem. The dash 3 is made for simple storage in every situation. To take up the least amount of space possible, the dash 3 is designed for vertical storage. Simply switch on the parking brake and lean it up against your wall.

Outdoor storage solutions

When indoor space is limited, outdoor storage becomes your go-to. While it requires a little more attention, your scooter can still be protected with the right gear. Start with a high-quality waterproof cover, ensuring it’s shielded from the elements like rain, snow, and dust.

Extra outdoor protection tips

• Use a waterproof cover to shield your scooter from rain and wind
• Store under a covered area like a porch or carport
• Disconnect your battery and store it inside for longevity

If possible, bring your scooter indoors during heavy weather. A folding electric scooter like the dash 3 makes this easier with its compact design and lightweight frame, offering you more flexibility in where and how you store it.

Long-term storage

If you're not planning on riding your electric mobility scooter for a while, preparing it for long-term storage is crucial. A little TLC now can save you from bigger headaches later on.

Start by giving your scooter a good clean. Dirt, grime, and especially road salt can cause corrosion if left unchecked. Make sure your back tires are properly inflated to prevent flat spots, and check all moving parts for wear and tear.

A quick maintenance check can go a long way in keeping your scooter in top shape.

Battery management tips

• Charge the battery to about 50% before storing
• Disconnect the battery to prevent accidental draining
• Keep the battery in a cool, dry place to avoid degradation

By following these steps, you ensure that your scooter is always ready to roll when you are, whether you're storing it for a season or overnight.

Properly storing your electric mobility scooter isn’t just about keeping it out of the way. It’s about preserving its performance, protecting your investment, and making sure it’s ready for your next ride.

So, before you put your scooter away, take the time to prepare it properly. Your future self will thank you when you're back out on the road, cruising smoothly.
