15. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
RIDING RANGE
The maximum range is up to 30 miles. However, a lot of factors will affect how
far you can go per charge:
• Driving Surface: A smooth, flat surface will increase driving distance.
• Weight: More weight means less distance.
• Temperature: Ride and store the Journey above 50°F.
• Maintenance: Timely battery charging and maintenance will increase driving
distance.
• Speed and Driving Style: Frequent starting and stopping will reduce driving
distance.
CLEANING THE JOURNEY
To clean the Journey, carefully wipe with a damp cloth, then dry with a dry
cloth. Do not use water to clean the Journey, as the electrical and electronic
systems may get wet, resulting in personal injury or malfunction of the Journey.
BATTERY

• Do not subject the Journey to intense physical shock, severe vibration, or
impact.

Support. We’d love to help!
STORAGE
• Fully charge the battery before storing. The battery should be fully charged
once a month after this.
