Two-Wheelers (EVs) Pre-delivery inspection (PDI)
TruePDI offers Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) services specifically tailored for Electric Two-Wheelers (EVs). As electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly popular due to their environmental benefits and efficiency, ensuring that these vehicles are thoroughly checked and fully functional before delivery is crucial. TruePDI’s services for EV two-wheelers would be similar to traditional PDI but would also include specific checks for the electric systems, battery, and charging infrastructure, which are unique to electric vehicles.
Key Services Offered by TruePDI for Electric Two-Wheelers:
1. Exterior and Body Inspection
- Frame and Body Panels: Inspect the chassis, bodywork, and panels for alignment, scratches, dents, or any manufacturing defects.
- Lights & Indicators: Check all external lights (headlights, taillights, brake lights, and indicators) for functionality and ensure they meet legal standards.
- Mirrors and Other Exterior Components: Inspect mirrors, horns, and other external parts for defects and proper installation.
2. Electrical System Checks
- Battery Inspection: The most crucial part of an electric two-wheeler is the battery. TruePDI would:
- Verify the battery’s charge status and health.
- Check for any signs of physical damage or wear.
- Inspect the battery management system (BMS) for proper operation.
- Motor Check: Ensure the electric motor is installed correctly and functions smoothly when powered on.
- Wiring and Connectors: Inspect the electrical wiring, connectors, and fuses to ensure they are secure, insulated, and free from any loose connections or corrosion.
- Throttle and Controller: Test the throttle and the controller for smooth power delivery and responsiveness, ensuring there is no lag or jerky behavior.
3. Charging System Inspection
- Charger and Charging Port: Inspect the charging port and ensure that it is free from any damage, properly connected, and operational.
- Charging Cable: Verify that the charging cable is in good condition, with no fraying or wear, and that the plug fits snugly into the vehicle and power source.
- Regenerative Braking System (if applicable): Some electric two-wheelers feature regenerative braking, where energy is recaptured and sent back to the battery. This system would be tested for smooth operation.
4. Mechanical and Drive System
- Transmission/Drive Belt: Inspect the drivetrain system, such as belts or gears, for smooth engagement and wear.
- Suspension: Check front and rear suspension systems for proper operation, ensuring there are no leaks or damaged components.
- Brakes: Ensure the braking system is fully functional, including checking the brake pads, rotors, and fluid levels, and verifying any regenerative braking system for proper operation.
- Tires and Wheel Alignment: Inspect tires for correct inflation, tread depth, and alignment to ensure safe and smooth handling.
5. Safety Features
- Lights and Indicators: Test all the vehicle’s lights and indicators for visibility, functionality, and correct positioning.
- Horn and Emergency Features: Check that the horn works correctly and any other emergency features (such as hazard lights) are operational.
- Side Stand/Center Stand: Ensure that both the side stand and center stand are functioning properly and are securely mounted.
6. Interior (if applicable) and Handlebar Controls
- Handlebar Controls: Inspect the throttle, brake levers, and other control switches for smooth operation and to ensure that they are within easy reach and ergonomically positioned.
- Display and Dash: Test the digital dashboard or display for accuracy in showing speed, battery status, range, and any other relevant data.
- Switches and Buttons: Ensure that all the buttons and switches (for lights, horn, and other controls) work correctly.
7. Test Ride and Performance Evaluation
- On-Road Performance: Conduct a test ride to assess the overall performance of the electric two-wheeler. This includes testing acceleration, braking, suspension, and stability at different speeds.
- Power Delivery and Battery Range: Check for smooth power delivery and ensure that the vehicle delivers consistent performance. Test the battery's range and charging efficiency.
- Noise and Vibration: During the ride, check for any unusual noises or vibrations that could indicate mechanical or electrical issues.
8. Software & Connectivity Checks
- Mobile App Integration (if applicable): Many electric two-wheelers now come with app connectivity for features such as GPS tracking, ride statistics, and battery monitoring. Test the app to ensure it syncs properly with the bike.
- Firmware Updates: Ensure that the bike’s electronic control unit (ECU) or motor controller has the latest firmware, and that all software systems are up-to-date.
9. Fluid Levels and Lubrication (if applicable)
- Lubrication: Check the drive components for adequate lubrication (e.g., chain or belt), ensuring that everything runs smoothly without friction or excessive wear.
- Brake Fluid: Verify that the brake fluid is at the correct level and is clean.
10. Documentation and Final Checks
- VIN and Registration: Confirm that the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the two-wheeler matches the documents and registration records.
- Owner's Manual and Warranty: Ensure that the vehicle’s owner’s manual and warranty information are included and properly filled out.
- Accessories: Confirm that any additional accessories (e.g., spare keys, toolkits, or chargers) are provided.
11. Cleaning and Detailing
- Final Cleaning: Clean the two-wheeler to remove any dirt, dust, or fingerprints accumulated during the inspection process.
- Polishing and Touch-ups: Ensure that the vehicle’s exterior is polished and free of any scratches or imperfections.
