- Prepare for Installation: If replacing an old kick stand, remove it using appropriate tools (e.g., Allen wrench for hex bolts). Keep any existing hardware that might be reused.
- Position the Kick Stand: Align the new kick stand's mounting plate with the holes on the scooter frame.
- Secure the Kick Stand: Insert the provided mounting hardware (e.g., bolts) through the kick stand's plate and into the scooter frame. Tighten securely with the appropriate tool (e.g., Allen wrench). Do not overtighten.
- Test Functionality: Once installed, ensure the kick stand can be smoothly deployed and retracted. Verify that it holds the scooter stably when deployed.

6. Operating Instructions
The kick stand allows you to park your E-TWOW electric scooter upright when not in use.
- To Deploy: While the scooter is stationary, use your foot to push the kick stand downwards and forwards until it locks into the extended position. Ensure the scooter is stable before releasing it.
- To Retract: Before riding, use your foot to push the kick stand upwards and backwards until it locks into the retracted position, flush against the scooter body. Ensure it is fully retracted to prevent interference with riding.
Always ensure the kick stand is fully retracted before riding to avoid accidents or damage.

- Cleaning: Wipe down the kick stand periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime.
