There’s something magical about riding in the monsoon. Cool winds, misty trails, and water-splashed roads turn every ride into a moment of bliss. But with the magic comes the need for extra caution and smarter riding choices.

To keep your VIDA experience smooth, safe, and stress-free, here are five common scooter mistakes in the monsoon you should avoid:

    1) Riding Through Heavily Flooded Areas :

VIDA’s batteries are IP67 certified for water resistance and are built to handle water exposure. But for a smoother and safer ride, it’s best to avoid riding through waterlogged roads or flooded areas, especially for too long. Sometimes, it's smarter to pause and find a clearer path.

    2) Charging Outdoors in the Rain

Avoid charging your VIDA outdoors during rain or a storm. Always plug in at dry, well-ventilated, and covered spots to protect the electrical system and batteries. With removable batteries in your VIDA, it's easy to take them indoors and charge safely, so they aren't exposed. Keep charging ports securely sealed when not in use or in water-exposed areas.

    3) Riding Fast on Wet Roads

Riding on wet roads can be tricky due to hidden potholes and the risk of losing traction.. Ride slow, brake gently and let VIDA’s finely tuned suspension help you stay balanced and in control through it all. Riding mindfully is one of the best ways to avoid accidents in the rain.

    4) Riding With Faulty Lights

Visibility is everything during the monsoon. Rain and fog can blur your path, so a smart monsoon riding hack is to always check your headlights, taillights, and indicators before every ride. VIDA’s bright LED headlights cut through low-visibility conditions, helping you see farther when it matters most.

    5) Parking Your Scooter Exposed

Always park in a clean, dry spot or under a shade. If you’re parking outdoors, protect your VIDA VX2 with the VIDA Scooter Cover because a little care goes a long way. This simple habit also helps protect your electric scooter from the rain.
 

Bonus Tip: Regular servicing is essential for scooter maintenance in the rainy season. Do not attempt to repair anything by yourself in case of any electrical issues; trust only our certified VIDA technicians to handle things.
 

Your VIDA also comes with 3 years of comprehensive warranty, plus 2 years of extended battery warranty that you can purchase.

Ride safe and make the most of your monsoon journey with VIDA!
