Does the scooter require maintenance?

No. Aside from charging the battery, there's nothing else that needs to be done regularly to maintain the scooter. The solid rubber tires do not hold air and therefore never need inflating. The brakes are electronic so there are no pads to replace. There are no moving parts that require oil. You may want to clean your scooter periodically (see here). If your scooter breaks down, see here if you're an All-Access subscriber and see here if you own your scooter.
