Augusta’s climate and your scooter
Summers here are hot and humid in Augusta. A few things to plan for:
- Heat and humidity stress batteries. High temperatures shorten lithium battery life; store and charge indoors in the air conditioning.
- Watch for sudden storms. Keep electrical connections dry and avoid deep puddles during downpours.
- Sun and moisture wear parts. Park in shade and wipe the frame down after wet outings.
- Rider comfort. Travel in the cooler parts of the day and stay hydrated.
