The accurate performance of an electric scooter is one of the biggest concerns for all users. For an electric scooter to function effectively, some key parts need to be maintained regularly.
First, we should clarify the functions of the motor and controller.
- Motor: is the spare part that ensures the movement of the electric scooter. The energy generated by the battery powers it.
- Controller: controls the amount of energy transferred from the battery to the motor.
Motor
As one of the main components of an electric scooter, the motor requires attention in terms of operation and technical condition.
For proper maintenance, knowing the type of motor your scooter has is very important. Almost all electric scooters are equipped with brushless motors. These types of motors are lighter and more energy efficient.
On the other hand, all components of the electric scooter and their parameters must be checked during use. Using the remaining spare parts beyond the recommended parameters will have negative effects on the motor, such as insufficient energy, low current, etc., and shorten the life of the scooter.
Tips for proper maintenance of the motor:
- Check the connections regularly - insufficient power will affect the condition of the motor and the performance of the electric scooter.
- Avoid moisture and direct contact with water - the last thing you want is to cause corrosion, not to mention short circuits.
- Regular Cleaning - To keep the motor in optimal condition, it is very important to clean it frequently. Never use tap water.
- Get a professional inspection - No matter how much you want to fix your scooter yourself, a mechanic will always have a few tricks to get your vehicle back to normal.
Controller
Keeping the controller in good condition is key to the proper functioning of the engine. By regulating the amount of energy provided by the battery, the controller regulates the current and keeps the engine running in the best possible way.
Tips for proper maintenance of the regulator:
All regulators are programmed to operate within certain parameters. If you ride your electric scooter with force or in a different way than recommended (above recommended weight, jumping, going up steep slopes), it is easy to damage the controller because it is being used outside of its parameters, converting more energy but not being able to deliver it properly to the motor.
These basic tips will help you optimize the performance of your electric scooter and, most importantly, extend its life. With a little more attention and a little less effort, you can achieve great results in a short time and avoid many problems.
