Winter is here and not only does it bring cooler temperatures but also new challenges for all e-scooter riders. Right now, it is particularly important to take good care of your scooter and prepare it for colder weather conditions. One of the simplest but most important measures is to check the tire pressure. Although it may seem like a small detail, the right tire pressure has a big impact on the safety, comfort, and longevity of your scooter.
Let's take a look at why tire pressure is so important and the best way to go about it -
Why is the tire pressure of your e-scooter so important?
-
Experience better control over your e-scooter as you ride on wet roads
The roads are often more slippery in the fall and winter. The damp leaves and wet surfaces make scooter rides more challenging. If your tires have the right pressure, you will have more control over your scooter and be able to ride more stable on slippery surfaces. Proper tire pressure allows you to cruise through the city safely when it’s cold and wet.

Less tire wear on your electric scooter and a longer service life
The correct tire pressure has a direct influence on the service life of your tires. If the pressure is too low, this leads to increased wear as the tires are subjected to greater stress. This can lead to damage and tire blowouts more quickly. If you inflate your tires regularly and check the pressure, you will ensure that they last longer and you won’t have to buy new ones often. The right tire pressure is good for your wallet and the environment!

Better riding experience and more stability with your electric scooter
An e-scooter with optimal tire pressure is not only safer but also more comfortable to ride. You will feel the difference, especially on uneven surfaces such as cobblestones or leaf litter: with the right pressure, e-scooter vibrations are reduced and the ride is smoother and more stable. This is not only more comfortable but also easier on your joints. A good rule of thumb is that if you reduce the pressure, you get more shock absorption, if you increase it, your get more range.
