India’s winters can bring a significant chill to the air, but that doesn’t change how effortlessly an EV performs. Its simpler mechanism and fewer moving parts make electric scooters incredibly dependable even when temperatures shift.

 

Since winter also brings higher pollution levels and heavier smog, shifting to an electric scooter becomes an even more meaningful choice for cleaner air.

 

With the right knowledge and preparation, your VIDA scooter is ready to take on every winter ride effortlessly.

 

VIDA - The preferred choice for winters

 

When it comes to riding an electric scooter in cold weather, they naturally perform well. However, there are a few things you should keep in mind when riding your VIDA VX2 Go, VIDA VX2 Plus or VIDA VX2 Go 3.4kWh.

 

Batteries & Charging

VIDA’s battery management system ensures safety and performance even in chilly conditions. While cold temperatures may slightly affect the efficiency of lithium-ion batteries, and you might experience a slight dip in range, this effect is temporary and does not affect your VIDA’s long-term performance.

 

Electronic Components

VIDA’s advanced electronics are engineered to handle a range of temperatures, but you might notice that certain features, like touchscreens, could become less responsive in extreme conditions. However, once the temperature stabilises, everything will return to normal.

 

Body Panels, Lights, and Tyres

VIDA scooters are built with high-quality body panels, durable tyres, and bright LED lights that are designed to perform reliably even when temperatures fall. While cold weather can make panels and tyres slightly stiffer for any vehicle, it has minimal impact on your overall ride experience. VIDA’s LED lights also maintain full brightness in winter and offer excellent visibility in foggy conditions.

Care Tips for Your Electric Scooter in Cold Weather

 

There’s no need to worry about taking your VIDA scooter out in the winter months. With just a few simple tips, you can ensure that your electric scooter in cold weather continues to run smoothly:
 

  • Charge Indoors: Whenever possible, charge in a warmer space to help speed up charging and maintain battery efficiency. VIDA scooters come with removable batteries that can be easily carried and charged in any indoor space.

  • Check Battery Levels Regularly: In extreme cold weather, battery levels can drop quickly if kept unchecked. Make sure your removable batteries are charged every time so that you are always ready to go.

  • Inspect Tyres and Pressure: Ensure that your tyres are properly inflated for better traction and handling. Cold weather can cause a small drop in tyre pressure.

  • Protect Your Scooter: If you're not using your VIDA scooter for a long time, cover it with the vehicle cover to protect it from cold breezes and moisture. Keeping it in a sheltered place will help maintain its performance.
     

With these additional tips, you can enjoy a smooth, efficient ride all winter long, knowing that your VIDA scooter is well-equipped to handle the chill. So, no matter the temperature outside, keep riding confidently, stay safe, and remember, your VIDA scooter is ready for every season.
