For the typical speeds of urban e-scooters, a standard bicycle helmet (CE EN 1078) is the minimum requirement. For higher-performance models or for added protection, consider a full-face or downhill mountain bike helmet. Ensure it fits snugly and is securely fastened.

• Avoid regularly draining the battery to 0% or leaving it at 100% charge for extended periods.
• Store your e-scooter in a dry place away from extreme temperatures.
• Use only the official charger provided by KuKirin.
• If storing the scooter for several weeks (e.g., over winter), charge the battery to approximately 60%.

KuKirin recommends avoiding riding in rain or on wet surfaces whenever possible. While many models have water-resistance ratings (like IP54) that offer protection against light spray or accidental puddles, riding in wet conditions significantly increases risks:

• Electrical Damage: Water ingress can permanently damage the battery, display, and motor, leading to costly repairs not covered by warranty.
• Reduced Traction & Braking: Wet pavements, road markings, and metal surfaces (like tram tracks or drain covers) become extremely slippery, greatly increasing the risk of skidding and falls.
• Impaired Visibility: Rain reduces your visibility to cars, pedestrians, and other vehicles, while also making it harder for you to see road hazards.

If you are caught in unexpected light rain:

1. Ride with extreme caution, significantly reduce your speed, and avoid sharp turns or sudden braking.
2. Do not ride through puddles, flowing water, or during heavy downpours.
3. Immediately after your ride, thoroughly dry the scooter with a soft cloth, paying special attention to the deck, brakes, and stem area to prevent corrosion and electrical issues.

First, consult your user manual. Many KuKirin models feature puncture-resistant or solid tires to minimize this risk. If you have a model with air-filled tires and get a flat, you may need to replace the inner tube. This can be done at home with the right tools or by taking your scooter to a professional bike or e-scooter repair shop.
