The gyro scooter should be looked after and given attention to it. You cannot use chargers from other models or different devices. They may not fully fit your vehicle. You can charge when all devices are clean and dry. Do not keep the battery in cold weather. Also, do not store the battery in a fully discharged state - this may affect its service life.
If the rider's weight is less than 40 kg, then childrenโs gyro scooters should be used, because heavy and large devices can be without control, and this is dangerous. You should not use a small, children's hoverboard for passing obstacles - this is quite traumatic.
