User's good usage habits and correct maintenance methods will extend the life-time of electric vehicles. Here are some basic knowledge of safe riding guidelines and maintenance:
1. For your personal and property safety, please drive carefully and obey the traffic rules consciously. Driving on non-motorized lanes, piggybacking others is prohibited. Driver should slow down in case of rain, snow or any bad weather and road conditions. When braking, should point brake first, then brake tightly, brake slowly to prevent sideslip. Increase the braking distance to ensure safety appropriately.
2. The side parking legs must be stowed before driving to prevent the vehicle from overturning when turning, causing injury to the rider. When driving, do not hang objects on the handlebars to prevent the objects from being caught in the wheels and causing the vehicle to tip over and cause injury to the riders.
3. Even electric vehicle have good rainproof performance, they can't waded into deep water and can't be submerged. When the water level exceeds any of motor shaft, controller or circuit, it will increase the possibility of short circuit and damage to electrical components. After deep water, cut power off in time, wiped clean, and the electric bike cannot be ridden till dried before.
4. Normally, even if the electric vehicle is not ridden, the power of battery will discharge silently, and many of them will basically be discharged within one or two weeks. Therefore, in order to protect the battery, charge it once a week or two without riding. If user go out and no one uses for a year or a half, it is best to disconnect the battery pack cables when it is idle, at least the negative cable should be removed, which can slow down the slow discharge and protect battery.
5. After the electric vehicle is fully charged, it needs to be powered off. At this time, the user must first unplug the power plug of the charger, and finally unplug the connection plug of the charger and the electric vehicle. If the operation sequence is reversed, the battery or charger may be burned out, and the charger is more likely to burn out. In addition, it is necessary to regularly check whether the electric vehicle wiring and the charger wire are leaking or the insulation is damaged to prevent the leakage of electricity during charging and hurting people.
6. Do not park electric vehicles in humid environments frequently, especially in corrosive environments such as warehouses with chemical raw materials, otherwise, metal parts and tires will accelerate aging and corrosion. In addition, try to avoid sun exposure as much as possible, which can easily damage parts, especially tires and cushions.
7. Regularly check the braking performance to prevent the failure of the brakes and traffic accidents when riding on the road, Regularly check the damage of the tires to prevent accidents caused by tire blowouts during exercise Once electric locks and controllers become inflexible or occasionally fail, they must be repaired or replaced immediately.
8. When driving, make sure that the tire pressure is within the normal range. If the pressure is too high, it is easy to cause puncture, especially in hot summer, the possibility of puncture when driving quickly under high pressure is very high. The pressure of the tire should not be too low. If it is too low, the tire will be squashed, the friction between the tire and the road surface will increase, and the power consumption will be high.
9. Electric vehicles should not be seriously overloaded during normal use, so as to protect the frame. The load-bearing capacity of the frame is limited. Once the metal of the frame is fatigued and breaks during riding, it is likely to cause a serious traffic accident.
