To adjust the handlebar height, locate the quick-release clamp on the handlebar stem. Open the clamp, press the adjustment button, and slide the handlebar up or down to one of the three desired positions (25 to 35 inches).

For compact storage or transport, open the quick-release clamp and press the release button at the base of the handlebar stem. Pull the handlebar upwards to detach it from the scooter deck.
Operating Instructions
Familiarize your child with the scooter's operation before their first ride:
- Riding Stance: Place one foot on the scooter deck and use the other foot to push off the ground to gain momentum.
- Steering (Lean-to-Steer):
Image: Lean-to-Steer and Braking System. This image demonstrates how to use the rear foot brake and visually explains the lean-to-steer steering method.
This scooter uses a lean-to-steer mechanism. To turn, the rider should lean their body in the desired direction (left or right) while gently pushing the handlebar. This helps develop balance and coordination. - Braking: To slow down or stop, the rider should place their foot firmly on the rear foot brake located above the back wheels. Apply gentle pressure to gradually stop the scooter.
- LED Wheels:
