Should the scooter be plugged in all winter if not in use

battery failure

If you are storing it over winter. I would charge the batteries and disconnect them. Check them periodically and charge once a month until the warm stuff comes around. It can sometimes be better to take the batteries indoors as extreme cold or heat can adversely affect your battery life and performance. If you intend to use it through winter, just keep it dry, warm (if possible) and lengthen your normal charging regime (around 10-14 hours overnight should do it) You can get any number of waterproof dashboard covers and things that keep moisture out of the sensitive parts. It is also worth getting a full lubrication and service from a reputable local dealer.

At the least drain the fuel in the carburetor, I think there is a drain line and plug for this specific purpose.

Hi, check all the connections are clean. It could be the charger is done but some batteries when they get left for a long period without charge they won't take a charge any more. Disconnect from power supply before attempting any inspection. Check the wheels are turning freely and not binding. Then last of all the motor may have to be checked.

This will be due to the batteries being left uncharged for a long period of time. Should ideally be charged once a fortnight for at least 12 hours if the scooter is not used for any period of time. Unfortunately, the only real solution is new batteries.

I think you need to take it to your local scooter shop and have the carburetor cleaned and the spark plug changed ask to have the routine service done
