3 Tips Kids Scooter Maintenance
Looking after your scooter properly will help to lengthen its lifespan, so we have pulled together some handy tips for you.
We do advise you always seek help from a competent mechanic and do not take your scooter apart unless you are confident of your abilities, due to the safety issues that can arise from a badly maintained scooter.
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.
