1. Battery Care In Cold Weather:
The battery is the heart of your electric scooter, and cold weather can have a noticeable impact on its performance. To maximize battery life, store your scooter indoors when not in use.

2. Tire Maintenance For Winter Rides:
Tires play a crucial role in maintaining control and stability while riding your electric scooter. As temperatures drop, tire pressure tends to decrease, impacting overall performance. Regularly check and maintain proper tire pressure to ensure optimal traction and efficiency. It’s particularly important to be cautious of icy patches, so consider using winter tires for enhanced grip.
The BG C12i comes with a smart, well-designed tyre technology that helps to hold the tyre with the road in sync with tight grip. However, one must always ensure to check the tire PSI before starting a long commute.
3. Visibility Matters:
Winter days are often shorter, and visibility can be compromised by early darkness. Make sure your electric scooter is equipped with working lights, both in the front and rear. Consider going for an e-scooter with reflective elements or accessories to enhance your visibility to other road users. Safety should always be a top priority, especially in challenging weather conditions.

Using a slower acceleration and braking gently helps maintain control and reduces the risk of accidents. The BG C12i comes with a smart FOC handle that navigates turns efficiently and ultimately compliments the turning radius to avoid sharp and unsafe turns.
