1.Calculate your average range
Knowing the battery’s capacity is essential if you want to protect it. In the scooter manual and on our website you can find the battery specifications as well as estimated ranges. The range is calculated under test conditions. This applies to all electric scooters because you need to have some fixed parameters to refer to. Our ranges are calculated at an average speed of 20 km/h, with a load of 70 kg, on a straight road with no wind. On your daily travels, these parameters will shift a lot, which will impact your range. Your weight will have the most impact, followed by your speed and the incline of the roads that you usually travel. After a few days, if you write down your travel details, you will get a basic understanding of your battery’s capacity, following your riding style
2.Do not drain the battery
Knowing the range is important because you should try as much as possible not to drain your battery. Fully draining and fully charging a battery is only recommended for 3 cycles when the battery is new. This applies to most devices. Ideally, you should not let your battery drop beneath 40%. This can be hard to achieve, so try to at least charge it when it is between 10% and 40%. Keep in mind that the average lifespan of a battery is between 500 and 800 cycles. After this time, it won’t stop working, but you can expect a lower performance. Taking care of your electric scooter will help you make the most of its battery for as long as possible.
3.Use the right charger for your scooter
E-TWOW scooters come with dedicated chargers. If you misplace or damage your charger, make sure to replace it with an original. While an aftermarket charger may be tempting, it could damage the battery. Just because it fits, it doesn’t mean that it is suitable for your electric scooter.
