10 Tips to Increase Your Autonomy for Free
If you are not interested in buying a battery, there are nevertheless free actions to increase your autonomy:
- The power of your electric scooter depends on your battery percentage. A rudimentary technique consists of riding with a limited speed in mode 1. On certain scooter models, there are several speed modes with gradual acceleration depending on your mode. Staying in mode 1 ensures great autonomy at low speed. We let you make the choice depending on the situation in which you find yourself.
- If you constantly drive in maximum mode, your range will be drastically reduced.
- Unblocking your scooter means reducing your autonomy approximately by two.
- After riding, do not use your battery below 20%. 🪫
- Once you return with your scooter, wait about 30 minutes before recharging your scooter so that the engine cools down. Once the 30 minutes have passed and the engine has cooled down, you can plug in your scooter.
- Adapt your driving to your battery level.
- If your scooter has 2 motors, it is preferable to use both motors, this way the energy will be distributed over the 2 motors instead of just one.
- Turn off your scooter's LEDs, headlight, etc.
- If your scooter starts without a kick (action of pushing with your foot), it will be preferable to deactivate this option to launch your scooter with the sole force of your calves.
- A scooter is a bit like a human being. When you walk on an incline, once you reach the top you are exhausted. A scooter is the same. Some models are designed to ride on slopes, but not every model. It is therefore important to refer to the model to find out if it is suitable.
Electric scooters are now part of our daily lives. For short journeys, the scooter has now replaced so-called “traditional” mobility models. It is important to know how to adapt and take care of your vehicle as you would a car. Adapting your machine to its use is essential.
