More and more people have electric scooters. There are many different types, makes and models out there, but they all operate on a similar process. This means that the electric scooter plus parts are pretty similar as well. However, this does not mean you can pick any battery you come across and expect it to fit. The make and model of your parts and of your scooter does make a big difference and you have to make sure that you have the right part for the right scooter. However, the names of the parts are actually all the same, so let's take a look at what these are and what they do.
Batteries
This is the most important part of your scooter, as it allows you to actually move forward. It is the part that actually provides your device with power. There are many different batteries out there, but the majority are self-charging through the movement of your scooter, just as they are with cars. Others need to be charged through the mains, and they will have a limited life span, meaning you need to recharge them after a set amount of miles or time
Belts
The belt is the part that most often breaks. It is this part that allows the wheels of your scooter to turn, as well as being the part that allows other movements inside the machine itself. Because it is such a heavy use part, and because it is often made out of rubber, it will often tear and break. You must check it regularly to make sure it is still in good condition.
The Motor
The motor is the lifeline of your scooter. If this breaks, there is nothing you can do to get it to work again except fix it there and then. With a broken battery, you can usually still make it home. A broken belt is not good for your scooter, but you can still make it at a push. If your motor breaks, however, your scooter will stop and not go any further. This demonstrates how important it is to check it regularly and make sure you replace it if something looks like it is breaking down.
The Tires
The last part you have to check regularly and potentially replace regularly as well is the tires. These are perhaps not crucial to the overall functioning of your scooter, but they are hugely important. Luckily, they are also the easiest and cheapest to replace, and you can generally fix them yourself as well. What is important, however, is to realize that scooter tires are not the same as bike tires. This means you can't just quickly hold the tire in some water and patch it up with a piece of rubber and good glue. However, it is a part that won't cost you the earth to replace or fix, and there are some really good tools such as expanding foam on the market that you can use if there is a little puncture somewhere.
