Over-inflated tires
Some scooter users think that the more inflated the tire is, the longer the vehicle will last. This is actually a misconception that users need to get rid of.
On hot days, over-inflated tires pose a high risk of exploding. In addition, when tires are over-inflated, the friction between the road surface and the tire will be reduced. This is especially dangerous because in cases where sudden braking is required, the scooter can easily slide in another direction.
In addition, over-inflating tires also affects the life of the tire and some related parts, and makes moving more difficult.
Underinflated tires
Under-inflating tires is also a mistake that users should avoid. When tires are too soft, the impact force from the road surface will directly affect the durability of the tire and rim. This is also the cause of some tire problems such as punctures, distortion, uneven wear...
Under-inflated tires make the engine work harder while moving, consuming more fuel. In addition, when driving a scooter with under-inflated tires, the user will have difficulty controlling the vehicle, which may lead to some unnecessary dangers.
To ensure safety, scooter users need to inflate tires to the correct pressure and follow the manufacturer's instructions on tire inflation and tire maintenance.
