The battery is the heart of any electric scooter. Look after it and you will get more range from every charge and more years from your scooter. These simple habits help any lithium-ion e-scooter battery, including the one in the HAZEL 1.0.
1. Use the right charger
Always use the charger supplied with your scooter, or an official replacement made for it. A charger with the wrong voltage or current can damage the battery or create a safety risk.
2. Never charge unattended
Charge where you can keep an eye on it, on a hard, non-flammable surface, away from anything that could catch fire. Unplug once the battery is full.
3. Charge at room temperature
Lithium-ion batteries do not like extreme heat or cold. If you have been riding in the cold, let the scooter warm up indoors before plugging it in.
4. Avoid running it completely flat
Regularly draining the battery to zero puts extra stress on it. Top up after rides instead of waiting until it is empty.
5. Store it partly charged
If you will not ride for a few weeks, store the scooter indoors with the battery partly charged (around half), and top it up every month or so.
6. Keep it dry
Avoid deep puddles and heavy rain, and never store the scooter wet. Water and electronics do not mix.
7. Check your tire pressure
Soft tires create extra rolling resistance, which drains the battery faster. Keeping pneumatic tires properly inflated is one of the easiest ways to protect your range.
8. Ride smoothly
Gentle acceleration and steady speeds use less energy than constant hard starts, so you will travel further on every charge.
