Mobility Scooter Maintenace
One of the best things about electric mobility scooters is their ease of use. There isn’t much that needs to be done in order to keep an electric scooter in great condition and proper working order. The minor maintenance activities that are recommended are quite easy to perform and will keep your mobility scooter working for years to come.
Firstly, take care of the mobility scooter’s battery. You will get the most battery life out of your scooter if you charge it regularly. When you return home after any trip that you used the scooter, go ahead and charge the battery. Keeping the battery fully charged when possible helps to ensure that you won’t be stranded by a dead battery, and it also guarantees that the scooter won’t be sluggish to respond to your controls (like it would if you had a weak battery). Like most other types of rechargeable batteries, the useful life of the battery will be much longer if you charge them fully regularly. You will also want to check the battery’s terminal connections themselves, to make sure they remain secure and not corroded.
You will also want to check the tires regularly, because if one of the tires fails while you are using the scooter, the result could be damage to the scooter or injury to yourself. Most electric mobility scooters with inflatable tires require a tire pressure of 30-35 psi (be sure to check the manual of your scooter for the correct tire pressure). Do not allow the tires to become under-inflated or over-inflated. Under-inflated tires could make the scooter unstable and over-inflated tires can burst under pressure. Also, you should manually inspect the tires periodically to make sure they haven’t taken any serious damage that could lead to a flat.
The only other major thing to remember about maintaining your mobility scooter is simply keeping it clean. Cleaning the dirt and grime off of your scooter benefits you not only because the scooter looks better, but also because that dirt can get into the mechanical parts of the scooter and cause unnecessary additional wear-and-tear. Keep the scooter in proper working order and clean any dust, dirt, or grime that builds up, especially on the metal parts. Keep the scooter somewhere indoors so that it will stay dry and won’t be exposed to extreme hot or cold temperatures. This will go a long way towards keeping the battery healthy as well as keeping the electric scooter clean. As you’re cleaning the scooter, remember to check the terminal battery connections and clean any corrosion off.
It’s pretty easy to take care of your mobility scooter, and by following these simple steps, your scooter will last for years. Because of their relatively simple mechanical design, mobility scooters typically won’t require professional service in their expected lifetime. Just be sure to take care of the battery, the tires, and keep the unit clean.

Can my 50cc scooter be derestricted?
It is Chinese and goes about 30mph on flat ground?
There are many things to do to get more speed. There is a washer in the variator that can be removed to give a higher pulley ratio at top speed.
Whatever you do make sure you can undo it all in case you have to someday. If you open up the muffler and add a less restricted air cleaner,
you must also install a larger main carburetor jet so the fuel mixture doesn’t get too leaned out. Search for 50cc scooter performance, scooter performance parts, scooter performance mods, scooter de-restricting. Here is an example;
