What is an Off Road Scooter?

Off road scooters are becoming increasingly popular for both kids and adults. They are smart investments for people who like adventures. These mobility vehicles are suitable for rough terrains and surfaces like dirt roads, parks, and even inclines.

All-terrain scooters are designed specifically for use in both urban and rural scooting. They usually have bigger and thicker tires compared to ordinary kick scooters. They are also more durable with sturdier and heavier frames, use all-terrain tires, and have solid steel or aluminum frames. Off road scooters have great traction compared to those urban kicks.

How to Maintain an Off Road Scooter?

If you already own a kick scooter you should’ve known this but if not, continue reading. Taking care of an all-terrain ride is quite different than having an urban kick scooter, especially when you have an electric off road scooter.

Like many other rides, they have movable parts like wheels and bearings on T-bars that need maintenance. Here’s how to care for and maintain your all-terrain ride.

• Always keep your scooter all terrain indoors like inside the garage or in your room. Different weather conditions could expedite the wear and tear of equipment if it is exposed outside.
• Always check the wheels and bearings before you use them, especially if you are a heavy user. Heavy user means you are doing high-impact landings. Wheels could be broken so better check every moving part before using it again.
• Always check for loose bolts and nuts.
• Clean your scooter before long storage. If there is mud and dirt, clean it with water and wipe it dry. Off road scooters are always bathing with all sorts of dirt and mud so make sure to wash them thoroughly after use.
• Replace any non-conforming parts. Using a scooter with defective parts could cause injuries.
• If you have an electric all-terrain ride, make sure to follow the maintenance manual.
