Quick Summary:

• For smoother and safer rides in Indian dust and monsoon, do this every month:
• In the first week, dry-brush and wipe off dust, and check for loose bolts, ports, and cables.
• In the second week, spin the wheels. If they are rough or noisy, clean around the hubs (don't let water get into the motor area) and plan to service the bearings.
• Don't let oils get on it.
• Check the tyre pressure, tread and sidewalls in week 4. Take out the glass and check the folding hinge/suspension play.
• Monsoon: dry off after every ride; If there is a lot of dust, do Week 1 again.
• Make an appointment for service if your brakes are weak, your car wobbles, grinds, gets wet, or has trouble charging.

Introduction

All of these things make squeaks, wobbles, and faster wear more likely. "Service once a year" isn't the answer. It's a simple service schedule that scooter owners can stick to in 20 to 30 minutes a month.

You can copy the following hoverboard maintenance checklist and electric scooter maintenance India routine into your phone calendar.

What you need (keep it all in one pouch)

• Soft paintbrush or toothbrush and microfiber cloth
• Mild soap and water (don't use a pressure washer)
• Isopropyl alcohol wipes or cloths (only for metal and brake rotors)
• Pump and gauge for tyre pressure
• Allen keys/hex set and a small wrench
• You can use a silicone-based spray (but don't spray the brakes).

The calendar for monthly maintenance (repeats every month)

Week 1: Dust and a quick safety check (10 minutes)

• Wipe down the deck, fenders, and footpads, and brush the dust out of the cracks.
• Look for screws that are loose, rattles, or wobbles (in the stem and wheel area)
• Check the cover on the charging port and the cable that comes with the charger.

Week 2: Wheels and bearings (10–15 minutes)

• Each wheel should spin smoothly, quietly, and without any problems.
• Plan a bearing check if you hear grinding or roughness or feel "catching."
• After a week of dust, do a quick clean bearings hoverboard routine: dry-brush around the hub and wipe—don't pour water into the wheel or motor areas.

Week 3: Brakes (10 minutes)

• For e-scooters, try braking at walking speed first.
• Disc/mechanical: The rotor should be clean, and the pads should bite without making a noise.
• For quick brake maintenance, wipe down the scooter with isopropyl alcohol on a cloth. Never spray oil near the brakes.

Week 4: Tires and comfort while riding (10 minutes)

• Check the pressure in your tires (low pressure means more flats and a shorter range).
• Check the tread, sidewalls and valve stem, and get rid of any glass or pebbles.
• Check for play in the folding hinge or suspension on folding scooters.

Add-ons that are only available in India during certain times of the year

• During the monsoon, keep your bike dry after each ride, stay away from puddles and check the fasteners once a week.
• Don't park in direct sunlight in the summer; let the battery cool down before charging.
• Construction and dust season: wipe down twice as often in Week 1

How to do each job (without going overboard with DIY)

1) Cleaning the dust (hoverboard and e-scooter)

1. Shut off the power, unplug the charger, and let the unit cool down.
2. Brush it dry first (dust and sand make scratches).
3. Use a microfiber cloth that is only slightly damp to finish.
4. Don't use pressure washing, soaking, or spraying cleaners into vents or ports.

2) Wheel hubs and bearings

Bearings don't like water or dirt. You probably need service if the wheel feels rough when you spin it by hand.

• Only clean the outside areas: the hub edge, the axle area, and the wheel well.
• Don't force it if the noise doesn't go away after cleaning. Replacing the bearings is a quick job that helps keep the motor from getting too much stress.

3) E-scooter brakes

• Use isopropyl alcohol to clean the disc rotor, and make sure the cable is tight (the lever shouldn't pull to the handlebar).
• Stop riding and have the pads and rotor checked if you feel vibration, a weak bite, or hear metal on metal.
• Don't use WD-40 or grease near the rotor or pads because it can get on the braking surfaces.

4)Tires (either solid or filled with air)

• For pneumatic tires, keep the pressure in the range that your model manual says.
• Check solid and honeycomb tires for cracks, chunks and uneven wear.
• Most of the time, "mystery vibration" problems are just low pressure or a bolt that isn't tight enough in the wheel area.

When to hire someone instead of doing it yourself

• Wobbling wheels, loose axles, and grinding again and again
• Brakes still feel weak or squeal after cleaning
• Problems with the charging port, water damage, and error beeps and lights

After bad roads or monsoon season, Hoverpro also lists repair help and real spare parts.

If you're still under warranty, keep in mind that water damage and normal wear and tear items (like tires) are usually not covered. Before doing any major DIY, make sure to read the policy.

If you stick to this calendar for three months, you'll notice a difference: your ride will be smoother, there will be fewer flat tires, and you'll be able to go farther because your ride won't be fighting friction.
