TREAT YOUR E-SCOOTER LIKE A CAR
• That means regular servicing every three to six months, depending on how often you ride. Falcon P.E.V offers on-site servicing from $35, at its showroom at Alexandra Road.
• Make sure you get your one-year warranty for electrical components like the motor, battery and controller.
• Take it in: if you have to squeeze your brakes really hard to stop; a single charge doesn’t give you the promised distance; and there’s rattling or screeching.
• Get insurance. For an annual premium of $96, the NTUC Income Personal Mobility Guard plan covers up to $200,000 against accidental death or permanent disability; $2,500 for medical expenses if you’re injured; and $1,000,000 for injury or damage caused to others.
