3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Riding the Scooter
- Place one foot firmly on the scooter deck.
- Push off with your other foot to gain momentum.
- Once moving, place both feet on the deck, one in front of the other, or side-by-side, depending on your preference and balance.
- Steer by gently leaning and turning the handlebars.
3.2 Braking
The Oxelo Mid 7 Scooter features a rear fender brake.
- To slow down or stop, gently press your foot down on the rear fender brake.
- Apply pressure gradually to avoid sudden stops, which can cause loss of balance.
- Practice braking at low speeds in a safe area before riding in more challenging environments.
4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your scooter.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the scooter with a damp cloth after use. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Wheel Inspection: Regularly check the wheels for wear and tear. Ensure they spin freely and are securely attached.
- Fasteners: Periodically check all bolts, screws, and quick-release mechanisms to ensure they are tight and secure.
- Storage: Store the scooter in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
4.1 Folding the Scooter for Storage/Transport
- Ensure the handlebar is at its lowest position and the quick-release clamp is secured.
- Locate the folding mechanism lever near the base of the steering column.
- Pull the lever to release the locking pin.
- Carefully fold the handlebar stem down towards the deck until it locks into the folded position.
5. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Handlebar wobbles | Quick-release clamp not tight enough; stem not fully engaged. | Tighten the quick-release clamp. Ensure the handlebar stem is fully locked into the upright position. |
| Squeaky brake | Dirt or debris on the brake pad/wheel; worn brake pad. | Clean the brake area. If squeaking persists or braking performance is reduced, inspect the brake pad for wear and replace if necessary. |
| Wheels don't spin freely | Dirt in bearings; overtightened axle bolts. | Clean around the wheel bearings. Check axle bolts are not overtightened. If issues persist, professional inspection may be required. |
