Repairing after an accident, what to do first?

[MoteMoto]

Hi community, I bought my first EV machine.
CE04 after an accident (few plastics, headlight) which I will repair.
I have experience with normal machines, but electricity will be the first time.

What should I focus on first?
The machine has been standing for several months, I do not know in what conditions and with what battery capacity it was shut down.
What should I do before I try to turn the machine on?
Checking the 12V battery, is it allowed to charge when plugged in or does it have to be removed?

Any advice is much appreciated! Thanks

Not sure how far you've got with your scoot. Might be best to remove the 12-volt battery and test it as it might be flat. If it is, remove it from the scooter and charge it using an appropriate charger as advised in the user manual. Check the fuses and change any that might look like they've blown.
