Maintaining your electric scooter

How does an electric scooter work?

To work properly, your electric scooter relies on its components. To understand how your electric scooter works, it is therefore essential to learn more about its components.

The electric motor: Electric scooters are most often equipped with a lithium-ion motor. These are very powerful motors that, depending on the model, can allow you to tackle many types of roads. To operate, the motor of an electric scooter draws its energy from the battery.

The controller: This is the “brain” of the scooter. It distributes the battery’s energy in the correct sequence throughout the electric scooter to operate the motor, power the lighting systems, etc.

The throttle trigger: It controls the speed of your vehicle. You can adjust it as you wish.

The battery: This is the energy reserve of your electric scooter. It consists of cells connected together and a BMS (Battery System Management). The BMS is responsible for protecting and recharging these cells. It also manages the voltage, balancing, and temperature management of the motor.

To maintain your scooter, you will need to follow a few steps. First, it is essential that your maintenance is regular; otherwise, it will not be effective. If you cannot consult a professional, you can simply carry out repairs yourself as long as they are feasible by your own means.
