I live where it gets really cold in the winter and snows. How should I store my scooter over the winter?

E-scooters are generally not great for riding in a Canadian winter. Snow is dangerous to ride in because like a bike, the tires are not meant for it. Salt can corrode electrical parts. On the west coast where there’s little snow but lots of rain in the winter, water poses it’s own challenges.

So to store your scooter for a few months, here’s what you need to do:

1. Charge the battery to 80% before storing. You don’t want the battery to run flat and it’s best for battery health to not store at 100%.
2. Store the scooter in a cool, dry place indoors, away from extreme temperatures (hot or cold), such as an insulated garage or in your home.
3. Check the battery capacity halfway through the winer, and recharge to 80% if it has dropped below 40%.
