Greensboro’s climate and your scooter
The area sees warm summers and cool winters in Greensboro. A few things to plan for:
- Plan for both seasons. Summer heat and the odd cold snap both affect battery range, so keep the scooter stored indoors.
- Mixed terrain. Larger wheels handle cracked sidewalks, gravel and curb cuts better.
- Keep it dry. Wipe the frame after rain and keep connections clean.
- Range headroom. Choose rated range above your daily route to allow for weather swings.
