Maintenance needs and safety requirements for Techo Electra require less maintenance. Manufacturers are designing these vehicles and publishing guides with maintenance and safety in mind.
There are fewer fluids, such as engine oil, that require regular maintenance
Brake wear is significantly reduced due to regenerative braking
There are far fewer moving parts relative to a conventional gasoline engine.
The advanced batteries used in these vehicles have a limited number of charging cycles (the number of times the battery can be charged and discharged, also called “cycle life”). Check with the dealer about battery life and warranties and consider the manufacturer’s battery recycling policy. These systems may require regular checks. Ask your dealer or refer to your owner’s manual for more information.
The batteries in electric-drive vehicles are generally designed to last for the expected lifetime of the vehicle. Like the engines in conventional vehicles, the advanced batteries in plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are designed for extended life but will wear out eventually.
As for all means of transport, if we want to measure the environmental impact of electric scooters, it is necessary to analyze the 4 main phases of its life cycle. The first two are the phases of the vehicle’s manufacturing (then the engine and other components are assembled) and the energy production phase of the vehicle (how polluting is the energy that enables the vehicle to be driven). Then comes the use phase of the vehicle (when it is driven) and then the maintenance and end of life of the vehicle (how it is maintained and recycled or destroyed when it no longer works). In each of these phases, there are different environmental impacts.
