Operating Instructions

Once the scooter is properly set up and all safety checks are complete, you are ready to ride.

1. Starting: Place one foot firmly on the scooter deck. Use your other foot to push off the ground, generating momentum.
2. Riding: Once moving, place both feet on the deck, one behind the other, or side-by-side if comfortable. Maintain balance and steer by gently leaning and turning the handlebars.
3. Braking: To slow down or stop, apply pressure to the rear foot brake located over the rear wheel with your heel. Apply gradual pressure for controlled stops.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your scooter.

• Cleaning: Wipe the scooter with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Wheel Inspection: Periodically check the wheels for wear and tear. Ensure they spin freely and are securely attached.
• Brake Check: Regularly test the rear foot brake for responsiveness and effectiveness.
• Fastener Check: Before each ride, inspect all bolts, clamps, and the folding mechanism to ensure they are tight and secure. Tighten any loose fasteners.
• Storage: Store the scooter in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prevent material degradation. The folding feature allows for compact storage.

Troubleshooting

Refer to this section for solutions to common issues:

• Handlebar Wobbles: Ensure the quick-release clamp on the handlebar stem is fully tightened. If the handlebar still wobbles, check the internal locking mechanism.
• Scooter Does Not Fold/Unfold: Verify that the folding mechanism is properly disengaged/engaged. Do not force the mechanism; inspect for any obstructions.
