These types of vehicles, such as cars or motorcycles, require preventive maintenance to avoid costly breakdowns and to protect other road users and pedestrians.
Electric scooters and bicycles are already a constant in urban environments and have about 9 million regular users in our country, but just like cars or motorcycles, they need preventive maintenance to
avoid expensive breakdowns and other road users and pedestrians. And that set-up on an electric scooter is about 40 to 150 euros, from 50 to 180 euros if it is an electric bicycle, according to Euromaster, a specialist in the care and comprehensive maintenance of the vehicle, which is launching its first workshop in Seville with a new mobility service.
Therefore, in line with the objective of guaranteeing road safety and the protection of citizens, and creating the same maintenance culture among users as for cars or motorcycles, Euromaster has identified critical points to be reviewed and actions to be carried out and made known need to be.
In a scooter, the condition of the battery is especially important so that it can circulate, bearing in mind that it is an element that mainly suffers from temperature changes, be it low or high temperatures. Another element is the tire, which in the case of scooters tends to have flat tires on public roads due to potholes and other deformations of the road surface, one of the most vulnerable elements and one that gives owners the most headaches. delivers.
The condition of the brakes, lighting and acceleration sensors also determine road safety, not in vain, according to the DGT and in 2020 there were more than a thousand non-hospitalized injured, 97 hospitalized and 8 deceased, almost 100% in the urban environment.
The bicycle is one of the vehicles that has spread over urban areas and has also moved with the trend of electrification, so that the user can use a small engine and give him enough driving pleasure on the road. This equates to greater complexity than the classic ‘bicycle’ as, in addition to tires or brakes, the user has to check the condition of the battery and software, which also suffer from temperature changes, especially when they are more exposed to the elements and than other vehicles such as the car.
Lighting, brakes or suspension are some of the elements to look at in the ‘bicycle’, which has a higher accident rate than the scooter, with 21 fatalities and more than 4,000 injured, nearly 400 of which require hospitalization.
