Basic Maintenance
The following procedures will help you maintain your scooter for years of enjoyable riding.
For painted frames, dust the surface and remove any loose dirt with a dry cloth. To clean, wipe with a damp cloth soaked in a mild detergent mixture. Dry with a cloth and polish with car or furniture wax. Use soap and water to clean plastic parts and rubber tires. Chrome plated bikes should be wiped over with a rust preventative fluid.
Store your scooter under shelter. Avoid leaving it in the rain or exposed to corrosive materials. Riding on the beach or in coastal areas exposes your scooter to salt which is very corrosive. Wash your scooter frequently and wipe or spray all unpainted parts with an
After rain, dry your scooter and apply
If the hub and bottom bracket bearings of your scooter have been submerged in water, they should be taken out and
If paint has become scratched or chipped to the metal, use touch up paint to prevent rust. Clear nail polish can also be used as a preventative measure.
Regularly clean and lubricate all moving parts, tighten components and make adjustments as required. (Refer to Parts 4 and 5 of this manual for further details). The use of alloy components and BED, SATIN and TITANIUM surface treatments minimizes the number of places where rust can surface.
Storage
Keep your scooter in a dry location away from the weather and the sun. Ultraviolet rays may cause paint to fade or rubber and plastic parts to crack. Before storing your scooter for a long period of time, clean and lubricate all compo- nents and wax the frame. Deflate the tires to half pressure and hang the scooter off the ground. Don't store near electric motors as ozone emissions may effect the rubber and paint. Don't cover with plastic as "sweating” will result which may cause rusting. Please notice that your scooter warranty does not cover paint damage, rust, corrosion, dry rot or theft.
