Before you set off down the high street or pop to the shops, spending 30 seconds doing a quick visual check keeps you safe, comfortable, and prevents unexpected breakdowns.
Here is Movara Mobility's quick 4-step checklist to run through every time you step onto your scooter.
1. Check Your Battery Gauge 🔋
- Look at the lights or needle on your dashboard display.
- Green / Full: Ready to go for the day.
- Yellow / Amber: OK for short local trips, but top it up when you return home.
- Red / Low: Charge immediately before heading out to avoid getting stuck.
2. Test Your Brakes & Freewheel Lever 🛑
- Ensure your manual lever at the back motor is locked into DRIVE mode.
- Gently pull the throttle lever, then let go.
- Your scooter should stop smoothly and hold firmly without rolling.
3. Glance at Your Tyres 🛞
- Air Tyres: Do the tyres look firm and round? (Soft tyres drain your battery faster).
- Solid Tyres: Are they free from large cracks or stuck stones?.
4. Check Lights & Horn 💡
- Press your horn once to make sure it sounds clearly.
- If driving near dusk, turn your headlight on to make sure motorists can see you.
