At what point on the scooter's fuel gauge indicates no fuel?
2 Answers
When the fuel gauge needle drops below the red mark, it can no longer accurately display the fuel level. At this point, the scooter may run out of fuel at any time, so when the needle reaches the red mark, you should refuel promptly. Below is some related information: Scooters: In Taiwan, scooters are referred to as "civilian vehicles," while "military vehicles" refer to cruisers, off-road bikes, and sports bikes. In Cantonese-speaking regions like Hong Kong, they are commonly called "sheeplets." Scooters are further categorized by form and purpose, including children's scooters, mobility scooters, gasoline-powered scooters, foldable scooters, golf carts, three-wheeled scooters, etc. Industry Outlook: Scooter production is mainly concentrated in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang region, known for its expertise in mold development. However, the industry consists of numerous small and scattered enterprises with workshop-style production, preventing the emergence of a heavyweight manufacturer in the scooter sector. For over a decade, Chinese scooters have failed to achieve the same level of international competitiveness as motorcycles.
I've been riding a scooter for several years, and generally when the fuel gauge reaches the position marked 'E' or the red zone, it means the fuel tank is empty. Never wait until that moment to refuel, as sometimes it might run out of fuel earlier, especially when riding on slopes or if the tank design is uneven. I remember last month, I carelessly waited until the fuel gauge hit the bottom and ended up stranded in the suburbs, struggling to push the scooter to find a gas station. Since then, I always fill up the tank when the needle approaches the quarter mark. This not only avoids embarrassing stops but also protects the engine and fuel pump. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning the fuel tank cap and checking the fuel gauge sensor, can prevent malfunctions and misreadings. Once these habits are formed, riding becomes much safer, and it also helps extend the vehicle's lifespan.
