As a loyal electric scooter user, I know that proper maintenance has a decisive influence on the performance and lifespan of the vehicle. 1. Battery maintenance: worry-free and cost-effective When maintaining the battery of my EK6 electric scooter, I have some useful tips. Every time I charge, I take out the appropriate charger and then start charging in a well-ventilated and shaded place under my house. I am extra careful and unplug the battery immediately once the battery is full, because I know that overcharging the battery is harmful. For lead batteries, I usually charge for 6 - 8 hours. In addition, I do not charge the battery when it is completely empty, but when the battery level is low, I start charging immediately. Once I forgot to charge because I was busy, and after the battery was deeply discharged, its performance deteriorated significantly. Since then, I have been particularly careful not to discharge the battery too deeply. When the electric scooter is not used for a long time, I charge it once a month to keep the battery level between 20% and 80%. 2. Tire maintenance: safety and comfort The condition of the tires is a major factor in determining the riding experience. I check the tire pressure regularly and follow the instructions in the manual: front wheel 2.2 bar, rear wheel 2.3 - 2.4 bar. When I'm out and about, I also pay attention to whether the bike feels strange or requires effort, and then the tire pressure is the first thing I think of. I also take care not to wear the tires too much. If I notice that a stone or other small foreign object has penetrated the tire, I take care of it as soon as possible. Once I accidentally stepped on a large nail, but luckily I noticed it in time, otherwise it could have easily caused a tire puncture. In hot summer, I park the bike in the shade if possible to prevent the tires from being damaged by sunlight. 3. Brake system maintenance: Not to be underestimated The brakes are of vital importance for safety. In everyday driving, I avoid sharp braking as this causes excessive wear on the brake pads. Occasionally, I check the thickness of the brake pads and if I notice that the brakes are not as sensitive as they used to be, I go to the garage to have them repaired. If it is raining or I am driving downhill, I prepare for this as the braking distance is longer. 4. Thorough cleaning of the vehicle Every time after riding, I clean the bike thoroughly, especially the chain area. If dust and mud are not removed in time, they can corrode the chain. Once I had a problem that the chain had not been cleaned for a long time and as a result it became rusty and rough, which made riding very difficult. When I ride in the rain and come home, I dry the bike thoroughly, especially the brakes and the engine. 5. Proper parking as a maintenance measure My electric scooter EK6 has a permanent parking space, namely the garage under my house. It is cool, dry and well ventilated there. When I park the bike, I put it upright and make sure the tire pressure is adequate. If I don't ride the bike for a few days, I charge it once a month to maintain the battery. 6. Developing good driving skills I think that good driving habits are very beneficial for electric scooters. I don't accelerate suddenly by turning the accelerator pedal hard, and I don't brake abruptly either. When I encounter bad road conditions or have to go uphill, I occasionally use a little muscle power to assist, which can also reduce the load on the battery. 7. Checking other components I also occasionally check the engine and see if the bolts on the wheel shaft and engine cover are loose. I also pay attention to the wire connections. One time I noticed a wire connection was loose and immediately went to the shop to tighten it. I have gained these maintenance experiences over time while using the electric scooter and hope that they will also be useful to other users.

In modern city life, electric bikes have become the preferred mode of transportation for many people due to their convenience and environmental friendliness. Take the EVERCROSS EK8S as an example: This bike is equipped with a newly developed 250W motor and a 36V/12AH lithium-ion battery, which enables a range of 90 km. The motor is powerful and has strong climbing ability, the battery delivers a precise range. However, to ensure that our electric bike works continuously and stably and is safe to use, a correct charging method is extremely important. I. Choose a suitable charger 1. Compatibility - For electric bikes like EVERCROSS EK8S, the charger must be compatible with the 36V/12AH lithium-ion battery. The batteries of different brands and models of electric bikes have different voltages and capacities. The battery parameters of EVERCROSS EK8S are precisely designed, and using an incompatible charger may result in too high or too low battery voltage. Too high voltage may cause blistering in the battery, while too low voltage may result in incomplete charge, which will damage battery performance in the long term and even shorten battery life. 2. Original products - Prioritize choosing chargers from reputable manufacturers. Original chargers undergo strict quality control during the design and production process and can better meet the charging requirements of the battery. Some inferior chargers may have problems such as unstable circuits and poor cooling, which pose safety risks. II. Check the charging environment 1. Security - The charging place must be well ventilated. Take the EVERCROSS EK8S as an example, when it is charged, the battery will easily become warm. If it is charged in a poorly ventilated environment, the heat cannot be released in time, which may cause excessive battery temperature. At the same time, it should be kept far away from flammable and explosive materials such as gasoline and alcohol to prevent accidental fires. - Avoid charging in humid, hot or cold environments. A humid environment may cause a short circuit in the charging line; in hot environments, the battery aging process will accelerate and overheat protection may be triggered frequently; in cold environments, the battery activity may be affected, which reduces charging efficiency. - Also check that the charging cable is well grounded. A well-grounded cable can prevent the risk of electric shock and ensure the safety of the charging process. III. Connect the charger correctly to the battery 1. Connection points - When inserting the charger plug into the charging socket of EVERCROSS EK8S electric bike, make sure the connection is tight. A loose connection may interrupt the charging process, affect the charging efficiency and even generate sparks, which poses safety risks. - Make sure that the poles of the charger match the poles of the battery and do not confuse them. Confusing them can damage the charger and the battery and also poses safety risks. IV. Check the loading time 1. Avoid overloading - Generally, it is recommended to start charging when the battery of EVERCROSS EK8S is almost empty. Its 36V/12AH lithium-ion battery can have estimated charging times based on the cruising range under normal conditions. After charging, the charger should be removed in time, because long-term overcharging may not only affect the battery life, such as deformation of the internal structure of the battery, but also cause safety problems such as blistering and deformation of the battery. V. Regular maintenance of battery and charger 1. Battery maintenance - For the EVERCROSS EK8S battery, you should regularly remove dust and dirt from the surface to ensure good heat dissipation of the battery. - Avoid leaving the battery hot or cold for long periods of time to prolong battery life and ensure the accuracy of its range. 2. Charger maintenance - Check whether the charger's connecting cables are old or damaged. If you find signs of damage on the charger's connecting cables, you should replace the charger in time or contact customer service for repair. VI. Consider special situations 1. External load - If you have an electric bike like the EVERCROSS EK8S, which is suitable for frequent outings, you can install a portable charger to be able to charge at any time during the trip. 2. Charging costs - If you want to be both worry-free and cost-effective when charging, studies show that charging at night or during times when electricity prices are lower can effectively reduce electricity costs. At the same time, you should avoid charging in hot weather because when the temperature is high, the battery needs a lot of cooling, which also causes some power consumption and indirectly increases the charging cost.In summary, for an excellent electric bike like the EVERCROSS EK8S It is extremely important to master the correct charging method, not only to ensure driving safety and extend battery life, but also to make us more worry-free and reassured in the process of use.
