Fort Collins’s climate and your scooter
Winters here bring snow, cold and slush in Fort Collins. A few things to plan for:
- Cold shortens range. Lithium batteries give less usable range below freezing, so pick a model rated well above your daily route and charge it indoors.
- Bigger wheels handle snow and ruts. Larger wheels and higher clearance cope with packed snow and grit far better than small casters.
- Four wheels for icy stability. A 4-wheel frame is steadier on slick, uneven curb cuts.
- Rinse off road salt. Salt corrodes; wipe the frame after salty outings and keep connections dry.
