In this blog, we’ll share crucial dos and don’ts for riding and maintaining your Ampere electric scooter during the rainy season.
Dos to Enjoy the Rain and the Ride
- Park and Charge in Flat, Covered, and Dry Locations
Always choose a flat and covered area to park and charge your Ampere scooter. This prevents water from seeping into critical components and ensures a safe charging environment. - Use a High-Quality Water-Resistant Cover
Invest in a high-quality, water-resistant cover for your scooter. This will protect it from rain and moisture, keeping it dry and ready for your next ride. - Ensure Charging Port and Plug are Moisture-Free Before Charging
Before plugging in your scooter for charging, make sure the charging port and plug are completely dry. This precaution helps avoid any potential electrical issues. - Properly Close the Charging Flap to Avoid Water Entry
Always ensure that the charging flap is securely closed after charging. This simple step can prevent water from entering the charging port and damaging your scooter. - Clean and Remove Accumulated Dirt and Mud to Prevent Corrosion
Regularly clean your scooter to remove any dirt and mud that may have accumulated. This maintenance routine helps prevent corrosion and keeps your scooter in optimal condition. - Contact Your Dealer for Any Unusual Sounds, Vibrations, or Performance Issues
If you notice any unusual sounds, vibrations, or performance issues, don't hesitate to contact your dealer. Early detection and resolution can prevent minor issues from becoming problems. - Schedule Service Pre and Post Monsoon for Proactive Check-Ups
Proactively schedule a service appointment before and after the monsoon season. This ensures that your scooter is thoroughly checked and maintained, providing you with a worry-free riding experience.
Don’ts: Important Precautions During Heavy Rains
While Ampere electric scooters are safe to use in light rain conditions, there are some important precautions to take during heavy rains:
- Avoid Riding in Heavy Rain
Riding any two-wheeler, including your Ampere scooter, in heavy rain is not recommended. Heavy rain can reduce visibility and increase the risk of accidents. - Don’t Park in Low-Lying or Waterlogged Areas
Avoid parking your scooter in low-lying or waterlogged areas. Standing water can damage the scooter’s electrical components and lead to costly repairs. - Don’t Charge Your Scooter During Thunderstorms or Lightning
Never charge your scooter during a thunderstorm or lightning. This can pose a significant risk of electrical surges and damage. - Avoid Riding Through Flooded Streets or Standing Water Areas
Steer clear of riding through flooded streets or areas with standing water. Water can seep into the scooter’s components, potentially causing damage.
