Lubricating your Scooter:
Lubrication is required to help your scooter parts move freely. If you ride your scooter in the rain, or leave it outside, the pre-lubricated bearings in the headset and wheels will quickly fail, so this is not a good idea. Expect to replace the bearings more often if you do leave your scooter outdoors. It is best to avoid your scooter getting wet at all if you want to protect the components. You can tell when your bearings need replacing if they make a loud crunching or grinding noise whilst turning. Bearings are consumable items and will naturally wear over time and are therefore not covered under warranty.
You can use a lubricant such as Bones Speed Cream to service your bearings, which is a low viscosity synthetic lubricant that provides a durable micro film to protect against corrosion. However, you do need to be very careful not to allow any oil to come into contact with the wheels. Not only is oil very slippery, but also the hub bond( the glue that holds the rubber wheel to the hub) can be broken down if it comes in contact with oil and result in your wheel de-dubbing- not good / expensive!
