Your scooter is new, but not yet fully “broken in”. With these tips, you can start safely:


🧠 Get used to the behavior and power

Every scooter rides differently. Take the time to feel how your new vehicle responds to acceleration, braking, and turns.

🛞 New tires = less grip

They have a coating and are extra slippery on wet roads and on white road markings like crosswalks. Drive extra carefully for the first 100 km.

🛠️ Let the engine break in gently

Avoid full throttle. Vary the RPM, especially during the first 500 km.

🛢️ Check oil level regularly

A new engine may consume a bit more oil. Checking it prevents problems.

🛑 Brakes also need to be broken in

Keep your distance and avoid sudden braking in the first 200 km.

👤 Ride solo for the first few weeks

Wait a bit before carrying passengers or heavy loads.

📅 First maintenance?

Schedule a check after 500 to 1000 km for a safe, long lifespan.

Why is there a delivery and setup fee when buying a scooter?
When purchasing a new scooter, you may notice a setup or delivery fee listed on your invoice. This can raise questions like: “Why am I being charged extra beyond the scooter’s price?” This fee is not hidden or arbitrary — it’s a transparent reflection of all the necessary steps between ordering the scooter and delivering it to you in perfect, road-ready condition.
