Our 3 essentials to scooter care : Cleaning Your Scooter :
This can be a really quick task if you do it regularly , yet can totally transform the look of your scooter . No one likes cleaning stuff but I guarantee a little effort goes a long way ! Simply use a damp cloth to wipe over the bars , deck and wheels . Use a bit of elbow grease ( taking care around any stickers / grip tape ) and ensure that you dry your scooter fully and immediately with a separate cloth . Any dampness left on the scooter could quickly lead to rusting . Whilst cleaning your scooter take the time to check for any signs of damage , or wear . Squared wheels can easily be replaced , as can cracked or broken bar grips .
Tip – Use an old kids small headed toothbrush to clean between spokes on wheels and to loosen any debris that may have collected under the brake .
