Since unlicensed cars are exempt from technical control, it is up to their owner to ensure their maintenance.

Maintaining unlicensed cars is generally less expensive than conventional cars, due to their small size and simplified equipment.

As the electronics of these small formats are less developed, breakdowns are usually less frequent.

However, regular maintenance is essential in order to keep your cart in good condition for circulation.

However, as no technical control is compulsory for this type of model, each purchaser must take responsibility and carry out a service after the first 1,000 kilometers and then, thereafter, approximately every 5,000 km.

On the other hand, some parts need special attention.

This is particularly the case with tires, headlight bulbs, air, oil and fuel filters, as well as windshield wipers.

You will also be, as with any vehicle, liable to a fine if your small 4-wheeler does not comply with basic safety conditions.

For these small cars, both electric and thermal, the batteries also have a limited lifespan.

So take care to regularly check their condition.

Which address ?

On this type of vehicle, the components of which are simplified in comparison to a conventional car, a certain number of repairs can be carried out by their owner to the extent of his skills.

In this case, it is important to find out about spare parts dealers via the Internet or by seeking professional advice because it is sometimes complicated, depending on the model, to obtain the necessary parts.

If you have no mechanical knowledge or if you simply do not want to maintain your cart yourself, go to your dealer or a specialized mechanic, as it requires specific tools.

Avoid conventional garages, which are generally not equipped or trained for these models.
