Although the battery of this scooter comes with an IP67 rating, you need to take special care of it during the rainy season. So let us tell you what things you should take care of during the rainy season.
First of all, during the rainy season, you should take care of the parking of the scooter. Sometimes heavy rain and keeping it in the rain for a long time can damage the scooter. Therefore, you should always park it in a place where the rain does not fall on it much or park it under a shed, so that heavy rain does not fall directly on it.
During the rainy season, the roads often get flooded. You should protect your electric scooter from such roads. You should pass through roads that are not flooded. The parts of the electric scooter are very sensitive and can get damaged due to water. Therefore, extra caution needs to be taken on roads that are flooded.
The charger is the most important part of the electric scooter. During the rainy season, you should protect the charger from getting wet. If the charger gets wet, it can cause problems, the charger can get damaged. This can affect your charging. Also, a big danger is that if water gets into the charger or it remains wet, a short circuit can occur, which increases the risk of damage and the battery can also deteriorate, which can be very expensive.
Battery care is very important during the monsoon season. You should keep checking it from time to time. If there is any noise coming from the scooter, show it to the mechanic. Along with this, if you want to reduce the cost of these things, you should take insurance. Many insurances do not cover rain, so take special care of these things while taking insurance.
