Cleaning and Storage
Use a soft, wet cloth to wipe the mainframe clean. Hard to remove dirt can be scrubbed with a toothbrush and
toothpaste, then cleaned with a soft, wet cloth.
NOTE
The IP rating of the mainframe is IPX4, controller IPX7, and dashboard IPX7.
Do not wash your KickScooter with alcohol, gasoline, acetone, or other corrosive/volatile solvents. These substances
may damage the appearance and internal structure of your KickScooter. Do not wash your KickScooter with a power
washer or hose.
WARNING / AVERTISSEMENT
Make sure the KickScooter is powered OFF, the charging cable is unplugged, and the rubber cap on the charge port is
tightly sealed before cleaning; otherwise you may damage the electronic components.
Store your KickScooter in a cool, dry place. Do not store it outdoors for extended periods of time. Exposure to sunlight
and temperature extremes (both hot and cold) will accelerate the aging process of the plastic components and may
reduce battery life.

Battery Maintenance
Do not store or charge the battery at temperatures outside the stated limits (see Specifications). Do not puncture the
battery. Refer to your local laws and regulations regarding battery recycling and/or disposal.
A well maintained battery can perform well even after many miles of riding. Charge the battery after each ride and avoid
draining the battery completely. When used at room temperature (70°F [22°C]) the battery range and performance is at
its best; whereas using it at temperatures below 32°F (0°C) can decrease range and performance. Typically, at -4°F
(-20°C) range can be half that of the same battery at 70°F (22°C). Battery range will recover when temperature rises.
