It can start. If the scooter cannot start just because the battery is dead, you can use the kick starter. Starting the scooter with the kick starter requires a certain technique: stand in reverse, hold the throttle with your left hand, pull the cargo rack with your right hand, keep your left foot close to the body, face backward, and forcefully press down the kick starter with your right foot. It's best to press it all the way down in one go to maximize the force from your foot, making it relatively easier to start the vehicle. If the scooter's battery is dead due to prolonged inactivity, here are some solutions: 1. Recharge the battery to restore voltage and power. 2. Replace the battery with a new one of the same model. 3. Use the kick starter to start the scooter, but you need to master a certain technique—press down firmly and all the way in one go. If the electric start didn't require throttle before, the kick start also doesn't need it. Once the scooter starts, quickly add some throttle to prevent stalling. Maintain this for about a minute, hold the rear brake, and push the scooter off the main stand with a little throttle. This method ensures the scooter won't stall after being taken off the stand.

How to Deal with Scratches on White Car Paint?

If the scratches are minor, you can apply toothpaste and gently rub to remove them. For noticeable scratches that haven't reached the primer, a touch-up pen can be used. If the scratches have penetrated to the primer, rust prevention treatment is necessary before repair. Here are methods to handle car scratches: 1. Polishing: For severe scratches, professional polishing at an auto beauty shop is required. 2. Plastic spray paint: For minor scratches or whitening, start by sanding the scratched area with 2000-grit sandpaper, clean it with alcohol, and then apply plastic spray paint.

Why doesn't the car accelerate when stepping on the gas pedal?

Here are the reasons why a car doesn't accelerate when stepping on the gas pedal: 1. Vehicle malfunction: If there is a fault with the motor vehicle, it's normal to experience the phenomenon of not accelerating when stepping on the gas pedal. Once you find that stepping on the gas pedal doesn't increase speed, after ruling out technique issues, you must promptly visit a repair shop to have a mechanic check it out and resolve any problems immediately. This phenomenon generally doesn't occur in new cars but may appear in some older or used cars. Especially with used cars, extra caution is needed when purchasing. 2. Gas pedal technique issues: Some drivers have incorrect driving habits like aggressive driving or forcefully stepping on the gas pedal. Long-term incorrect gas pedal usage can have a fatal impact on the vehicle's acceleration system, making it normal to experience the phenomenon of not accelerating when stepping on the gas pedal.

Why Do 4S Stores Not Advocate Using Oil Exchange Machines for Oil Changes?

Because transmission oil cannot be changed in a circulating manner; it must be completely replaced all at once. Relevant explanations are as follows: 1. Oil exchange machines inject new oil while extracting the mixed old and new oil, resulting in a high oil change rate and more thorough replacement, but it consumes more oil, is relatively wasteful, and involves higher costs. 2. For a car that has been used for a long time and has high mileage, if the transmission oil hasn't been changed for an extended period, certain sediment impurities will form in the transmission during use. These impurities, flowing with the transmission oil, can stick to the torque converter, hydraulic valve body module oil passages, or deposit in the oil pan and transmission filter. The longer the time, the more they accumulate.

Why is there water dripping under the car in summer?

There are two situations where water leaks under the car: one is drainage from the air conditioning system, and the other is water dripping from the muffler and exhaust pipe at the rear of the car. The details are as follows: 1. Air conditioning system drainage: This occurs because the outside temperature is high in summer, while the temperature inside the car with the air conditioning on is low, creating a temperature difference that causes water to drip from the chassis. The low-pressure pipes of the car's air conditioning system are not wrapped with thermal insulation foam, making it easy for moisture in the air to condense on the pipe surfaces. The water droplets then gather and drip from the lowest point of the pipes. 2. Water dripping from the muffler and exhaust pipe at the rear of the car: This is a normal phenomenon and usually occurs more frequently in winter. Gasoline is injected into the cylinders and mixed with air, and after complete combustion in the combustion chamber, it mainly produces carbon dioxide and water. At high temperatures, the water is discharged into the atmosphere as gaseous water vapor. Since the muffler is located at the rear of the car where the temperature is relatively low, the water vapor condenses into liquid water when it cools down.

Does UV-Protective Glass Need Tinting?

Whether UV-protective glass requires tinting depends on individual needs. UV-protective glass already blocks ultraviolet rays and provides heat insulation, but the decision to apply a tint film largely depends on whether one has higher requirements for privacy and safety. Tinting can enhance privacy, effectively protecting personal information. It also offers some anti-explosion and anti-scratch functions, making driving safer. Below are relevant details about UV-protective glass: 1. Function: UV-protective glass can absorb or reflect solar ultraviolet rays, reducing the harm caused by UV radiation to the skin; it also minimizes the impact of external temperature or sunlight on the interior temperature, ensuring air conditioning efficiency and providing thermal insulation. 2. Drawbacks: Tinting also has disadvantages. Darker tints may affect visibility, and poor-quality films can pose health risks.
