To break in your new scooter’s batteries for maximum efficiency and service life, follow these steps:
Fully recharge the new battery before using it for the first time. This brings it to about 88% of its best performance level.
Start by operating your scooter in familiar and safe areas. Drive slowly and avoid going too far from home or familiar surroundings until you are comfortable with the controls and the batteries are properly broken in.
Once again, fully recharge the batteries. They should now be at over 90% of their peak performance level.
Continue using your scooter and fully recharge the batteries after each use.
Repeat this cycle of charging and using the scooter for about four or five times.
After completing these charging cycles, the batteries will be able to receive a charge of 100% of their peak performance level and will last for a longer period of time.
