SURGE E-SCOOTERS

Laws vary from state to state, but electric scooters are legal in all states when used on private property. Electric scooter laws are changing, with many states holding trials in their major cities. Whatever the rules are in your state, the same things apply:

Wear a helmet

Don’t ride carelessly or recklessly

Don’t endanger yourself or others

Don’t ride under the influence of alcohol or drugs

Don’t use your phone while riding

Follow local laws & regulations

Use lights to ensure you are visible

An electric scooter should only need charging once the battery has about 15-20% left. If you ride your scooter enough to drain the battery to that degree in one use, then you can charge the scooter after every use. However, regularly charging a battery while it is still mostly full will eventually impact the battery’s life, producing lower overall range.

You can, but we suggest you avoid doing so. Like most electric devices, their water resistance only goes so far, and as rain can be unpredictable, it’s best to avoid leaving your scooter outside in the rain for long periods of time.

There are two types of pneumatic tyres: Air-filled and solid. Air filled tyres are commonly found on bikes, scooters, & cars, and are filled with air. This gives the tyres flexibility & shock absorption qualities, although they are prone to punctures & bursting. 

Solid pneumatic tyres are generally solid rubber. Generally more expensive than air-filled tyres, they are far more puncture resistant, but don’t offer a particularly comfortable ride. 

What Are Puncture Proof Tyres?

This is a general term for any tyre that resists puncture, whether that be thicker tyre lining, solid tyre construction such as solid pneumatic tyres, or tyres without an inner tube. 

Generally, the use of the scooter determines how often it should be serviced. For commuter scooters such as the Segway Ninebot Max G30P, you shouldn’t need much servicing provided you look after it and carry out the appropriate low-level maintenance required. 

Fast & ludicrous scooters are generally used for more intense riding, so we recommend at least one service per year at a minimum.
