Easy Maintenance Tips for Keeping Your Electric Scooter Sharp

The dash 3 electric mobility scooter is built to last, crafted with durable, premium materials like carbon fiber and designed for ultimate convenience.

But like any high-performance machine, a little maintenance goes a long way in keeping it running smoothly. Regular care not only extends the life of your scooter but also ensures every ride is safe and as exhilarating as the first.

Here are some easy maintenance tips to keep your dashmoto® scooter in peak condition while safeguarding your sense of freedom and independence.

Regular battery care to maximize range

Your electric mobility scooter's battery is the powerhouse that keeps you on the move, whether you're cruising around the neighborhood or zipping through the city. Battery care is essential to ensure you’re always ready for your next adventure.

Charge when necessary

Charge your battery when it gets below two bars, but avoid leaving it plugged in for extended periods after it's fully charged. This can shorten the battery's lifespan.

Storage tip

If you're storing your scooter for a while, charge it to about 50% and keep it in a cool, dry place. Avoid extreme temperatures as they can impact the battery’s performance.

Pre-ride check

Before each ride, inspect the charging port. Make sure it’s free of dust or debris, ensuring a proper connection.

Battery longevity: Whether you're using the standard 300Wh or the long-range 500Wh battery, both are built to hold their charge for extended periods.

WARNINGS:

Do not attempt to disassemble the battery—there are no user-serviceable parts inside, and it could pose a fire risk.

Avoid charging your scooter in wet conditions to prevent electrical damage.

Check the tires for a smoother ride

Tires are often overlooked but play a critical role in both comfort and performance. The dash 3 features a puncture-proof honeycomb front tire and air-filled rear tires for optimal shock absorption. Regularly checking the tires ensures smooth handling and extends their lifespan.

Inspect air pressure

Especially for the rear air-filled tires, check the tire pressure every few weeks if you use the scooter frequently. Underinflated tires can reduce ride quality and increase wear.

Watch the tread

Over time, tire treads wear down. Checking the tire threads regularly ensures you maintain good traction. If the tread is too low, it may be time to replace the tire.

Keep tires clean

Use a damp cloth to wipe down both the front and rear tires, especially after rides on rough terrain. This helps maintain traction and prevents debris buildup.

Repair punctured tires

The back two tires can be punctured, but luckily, patching the inner tube is no different from a bicycle. Any bike mechanic can repair it quickly, and there are even many DIY options available.

Keep the brakes in check for maximum safety

A responsive braking system is key to staying safe while riding. The dash 3 comes with dual hydraulic brakes that deliver smooth stopping power.

Brake pad inspection

Regularly check the brake pads for signs of wear. If they appear too thin, replace them to maintain optimal braking performance.

Pre-ride testing

Before each ride, give the brakes a quick test. If they feel soft or slow to respond, they may need adjustment or tightening.

Unusual noises

If you hear squeaking or grinding when you brake, this could indicate dirt buildup or worn-out parts. Clean the brakes or seek a replacement if necessary.

By keeping your brakes in top condition, you'll feel confident no matter where you ride.

Keep your scooter clean and dry

While the dash 3 is designed to handle a bit of rain and everyday dirt, keeping your scooter clean is essential to maintaining its sharp appearance and preventing wear.

Wipe down the frame

Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the carbon fiber frame after each ride. For stubborn dirt, gently scrub using a toothbrush, then wipe again with the cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals like alcohol, gasoline, or acetone, as they can damage the scooter’s surface or internal components.

LCD panel care

Clean the LCD panel and lights with a soft, dry cloth to ensure you can clearly see speed, battery life, and other vital information.

Protect the electronics

Make sure the scooter is powered off, and the charging port cover is securely in place before cleaning. Never use a power washer or hose, as it could damage the scooter’s electronics.

Pre-ride inspection

A quick pre-ride inspection can help you catch any issues before they become bigger problems, ensuring your dash 3 stays reliable.

Check for loose parts

Over time, vibrations can cause screws to loosen. Pay special attention to the handlebars, seat, and foldable components, tightening any loose screws as needed.

Folding mechanism

Ensure the folding mechanism works smoothly and locks securely in place before every ride.

Lights and LCD display

Test the lights and display before riding to make sure everything functions correctly.

Steering and brakes

Check that the steering is smooth and the brakes respond properly.

By making these small checks part of your routine, you’ll extend the life of your scooter and keep it running at peak performance. For any questions or replacement parts, please contact care@dashmoto.us.
