Mobility scooters generally cannot be driven on public roads because most of them are not classified as motor vehicles. Below is relevant information about mobility scooters: Definition: Mobility scooters, also known as lazy carts, refer to transportation and auxiliary tools designed for short-distance travel. In China, they may sometimes refer to cars, electric bicycles, electric scooters, two-wheel self-balancing scooters, or unicycle balancing scooters used for commuting. Disadvantages: The bumper's shock absorption effect is poor, and the battery is located at the rear. If rear-ended, it may easily cause a battery fire. The seat cannot be adjusted forward or backward, and at speeds of 40km/h, it is prone to tipping over. The vehicle's chassis welding is unstable and prone to fractures.

Can a Cracked Windshield Be Repaired?

If the damage area is not large, it can be repaired. However, if the damage is too extensive and poses a safety risk, replacement is necessary. Below are some related tips for windshield maintenance: 1. Regular cleaning with glass cleaner: Use specialized glass cleaner for cleaning. Glass cleaner not only keeps the windshield clean but also increases lubrication to prevent damage from wiper blades. 2. Proper application of car window film: The light transmittance of windshield film should be greater than 70% to ensure driving safety. Avoid using dark tinted heat-resistant films. Additionally, choose films with high UV protection indexes to protect dashboard components from premature aging due to prolonged exposure.

Does prolonged exposure to sunlight affect a car?

Prolonged exposure to sunlight does affect a car. Below are the potential damages and corresponding solutions: 1. Surge in formaldehyde levels inside the car: High summer temperatures can activate the release of pollutants from various sources inside the car, which may lead to long-term carcinogenic effects. Formaldehyde is a colorless gas with a strong pungent odor, posing significant harm to human health. 2. Accelerated vehicle aging: Sun exposure speeds up the aging of car paint and interior plastic components. Ultraviolet rays hasten the deterioration of plastic parts, rubber components (such as tires), and paint. After prolonged exposure, opening the car door often releases a pungent odor. 3. Park in shaded areas: Parking in shaded areas is always the best option, such as in underground parking spaces, even if it means walking a bit farther. Alternatively, park in the shadow of tall buildings. Be sure to consider the sun's angle to ensure the car remains shaded for several hours. 4. Use sunshades for the front windshield: Extended exposure to sunlight accelerates the aging of the car's paint and dashboard, while the high interior temperature increases the air conditioning load, leading to higher fuel consumption. The most common aluminum foil sunshades, when placed on the front windshield after parking, effectively protect the interior and reduce temperature.
