Using Transport Mode for Storage
If scooters will be stored in a warehouse or out of service for an extended period, put them into Transport Mode first.
Benefits of Transport Mode for storage:
- Prevents battery over-discharge
- Extends battery life during long-term storage
- Reduces fire risk from deeply discharged lithium batteries
How to enter Transport Mode:
- Use the Segway Launcher app or BLE app on your phone
- Navigate to the scooter settings
- Select Transport Mode
See the full Transport Mode guide for details.
Charging Precautions
- Charge regularly: Lithium batteries need regular charging. Do not leave scooters discharged for extended periods.
- Full charge before storage: Fully charge each scooter before placing it in storage. Then switch to Transport Mode.
- Recharge during storage: For storage longer than 1-2 months, check and recharge batteries periodically. Over-discharge can permanently damage the battery.
- Use the official Segway charger: Only use the Ninebot/Segway branded charger. Third-party chargers may damage the battery.
- Charge in a safe environment: Charge at temperatures between 32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C). Do not charge in extreme heat or cold.
- Do not leave charging unattended: Do not leave scooters charging overnight in enclosed spaces.
After Storage: Returning Scooters to Service
When bringing stored scooters back into service:
- Exit Transport Mode by charging the scooter
- Verify the scooter comes online in the Dashboard
- Check firmware is current
- Run through the maintenance checklist
- Test brakes and all functions before deployment
