Электрлік TUK қалай қолдау керек?

Your customers are excited about their new electric tuks but feel uncertain about proper upkeep. They worry that a small, forgotten maintenance task could lead to bigger problems down the road.

Proper electric tuk maintenance is straightforward and focuses on three key areas: battery care, regular checks of tires and brakes, and keeping the vehicle clean and lubricated. This ensures safety and longevity.

From my experience at the factory, I can tell you that a simple, consistent maintenance schedule is the secret to getting the most out of an electric vehicle. For your B2B clients, like fleet operators or tourism businesses, uptime is money. Teaching them these easy-to-follow steps will protect their investment, minimize downtime, and ensure their vehicles run reliably for years. Let's walk through the essential checklist.

How Should You Maintain the Battery of an Electric Tuk?

Your customer knows the battery is the most valuable component. They are afraid that improper charging or storage could ruin it and result in a costly replacement.

Keep the battery charged between 20% and 80%, avoid leaving it fully discharged, and recharge after each day of use. Proper care can significantly extend battery life and performance.

The battery is the heart of the electric tuk. Modern lithium-ion batteries are healthiest when they are not pushed to their absolute limits. Allowing a battery to sit completely dead for weeks is one of the fastest ways to cause irreversible damage. A simple, consistent routine is all it takes. For a busy tuk-tuk taxi, this means charging daily. For a resort's sightseeing shuttle that runs less frequently, it means ensuring the vehicle is never stored with a dead battery.

• Charging Habits: Don't let the charge drop below 20%. Plug it in after the day's work and unplug it once fully charged.
• Storage Tips: If storing the tuk for an extended period, keep the battery at around 50% charge and park the vehicle in a cool, dry, sheltered environment.
• Replacement Cycle: A well-cared-for lithium battery can last over 1,000 charge cycles, providing years of reliable service.

How Often Should Electric Tuk Tires Be Checked?

Tires are easy to ignore, but they impact range, safety, and running costs. A flat tire can put a commercial vehicle out of service, resulting in lost income.

Check the tire pressure monthly and inspect the tread wear every month. Properly inflated tires can improve range by 5-10% and are critical for vehicle safety, especially under load.

This is one of the simplest yet most important maintenance tasks. I always recommend that my distributors provide a good quality tire pressure gauge with every sale. An under-inflated tire creates more friction, forcing the motor to work harder and draining the battery faster. For cargo tuk trucks carrying heavy loads, correct pressure is essential for stability and preventing premature tire wear. A weekly check takes less than two minutes and is the best way to prevent downtime.

What Routine Inspections Are Needed for an Electric Tuk?

Your customer is not a mechanic. They need a simple list of things to look for to catch small problems before they become big, expensive, or dangerous ones.

Every 2 month, perform a visual check of the brakes, lights, wiring, and key moving parts. Keeping the vehicle clean and lubricated prevents long-term wear and corrosion.

Preventive maintenance is key to running a successful commercial fleet. By scheduling regular inspections, operators can spot small issues before they escalate. This is not complicated work; it's about looking, listening, and keeping things clean. A clean undercarriage prevents rust, and lubricated parts move smoothly and last longer. This simple checklist ensures every vehicle is kept to the same high standard, maximizing safety and uptime.

• Brakes: Check brake pad thickness and ensure hydraulic fluid levels are correct.
• Lights: Test headlights, taillights, brake lights, and turn signals.
• Lubrication: Monthly, lubricate moving parts like suspension pivots and brake linkages.
• Electrical System: Visually inspect wiring harnesses and connectors for a secure fit and any signs of corrosion.
• Chassis: Clean the exterior and undercarriage regularly to remove dirt and prevent rust.

Do Electric Tuks Require Professional Servicing?

Buyers may worry that finding a qualified mechanic for an electric vehicle will be difficult. You need to clarify what professional servicing involves and when it's needed.

Yes, a professional check-up every 1-2 years is essential for long-term health, focusing on the electrical system and chassis. This is simpler and less frequent than servicing a combustion engine vehicle.

While daily checks are simple, some tasks are best left to a trained technician. A professional service visit goes beyond the basics to ensure the core systems are operating perfectly. The technician can plug into the motor controller for diagnostics, check the health and balance of the battery cells, and perform tasks like a full brake system flush or wheel alignment. It's also critical to insist that only manufacturer-approved spare parts are used during any repair to maintain vehicle integrity and warranty. This scheduled professional check provides peace of mind and ensures the vehicle remains safe and efficient.
