For many their E-Scooter is their pride and joy. The key to ensuring the longevity of the performance and appearance of your scooter your will want to make sure that you are maintaining it regularly.

Without it, grime and dirt will accumulate, causing gradual wear and damage to crucial mechanisms.

In other words, the power of your engine or the quality of the other components on your scooter are irrelevant without a thorough, routine clean. That’s where we come in.

In this article, our grime busting experts at Tru-Tension detail the best methods to clean your electric scooter and provide a step-by-step guide on how to use Tru-Tension products to achieve the clean you’re after.

Products you’ll need:

Prepare Battery Charging Port

Before you begin, it’s important that you consider your battery.

You will need to prepare the charging port before you clean your scooter by covering it (you don’t want any cleaning products getting inside!).

If you’re charging your scooter, always make sure it is unplugged before you start to clean it.

Only charge your battery either before or after cleaning, but never during.

Now it’s time to gather your supplies. As with any cleaning process, it helps if you assemble all the products and materials you need before you begin.

Minimal Water Use

When it comes to cleaning your E-Scooter, you might be tempted to use a hose or a bucket of water.

Other articles or websites may suggest that the first step of cleaning should be to rinse off any dust or grime. However, did you know that excessive water usage can cause damage?

This is because water can combine with the dirt and oil on your scooter to form a paste that hardens and causes wear to the body and components.

At Tru-Tension we recommend that you remove and dust away residual dirt and grime by using a soft-bristled brush and a cloth.

Once you have removed as much as you can without using any products, you can move onto a cleanser. We recommend our waterless E-Bike Snow Foam.

E-Scooter Snow Foam

When looking for a cleanser for your E-Scooter, you can’t get a more hassle-free cleaning experience than with our Snow Foam. With easy instant foam action, it is extremely quick to use, and waterless cleaning technology means that it can be done inside a garage or shed.

To use, simply spray onto the body of your scooter, including the wheels and any painted metals or plastics.

All you have to do then is leave the foam to work for 5 to 30 seconds. We’ve designed it so that there’s no need to work the cleanser in or scrub the dirt off harshly, helping to preserve the paint on your scooter.

In this time the foam will lift any of the dirt and grime from the body of the scooter.

After you have left it for long enough you can then use a clean cloth to wipe the dirt away, without the need to rinse.

Once you are happy that all the dirt is removed, we recommend that you use your microfibre cloth to gently buff the remaining product into the surface. This will activate the polish and leave your scooter gleaming.

We recommend that you do this process fairly regularly, because even if you only take your scooter on short journeys, dirt can accumulate more quickly than you’d think.

E-Scooter Maintenance Spray

Our E-Scooter Maintenance Spray is the the perfect product to use in between a thorough clean with Snow Foam. This convenient all-in-one spray means that you can carry out a quickly and easily clean as well as maintenance, all at once!.

While removing dirt and grime, it also repels moisture to prevent rust and dirt from setting, as well as lubricating the components of your scooter to keep everything running smoothly.

Simply spray over the body of your scooter, focusing on any areas or components that you feel need cleaning or freeing, making sure to avoid tyre treads and brake components.

Once you have wiped it away using a clean cloth, you’ll find a clean, shining finish.

E-Scooter Brake Cleaner

The brakes on an E-Scooter take a lot more pressure than the brakes on a regular scooter because of the high-powered motor. Therefore, you want to make sure you take the care of them to improve their longevity.

Preserving the brakes requires regular cleaning and maintenance. We recommend our E-Scooter Brake Cleaner.

To use, ensure that you’re in a well-ventilated area, then spray brake cleaner onto the brake components of your E-Scooter. You can then either wipe the dirt away with a clean cloth or leave the product to evaporate.
