Setup and Assembly
The Mini Deluxe Foldable scooter comes mostly pre-assembled. Follow these steps to prepare it for use:
- Unfolding the Scooter: Locate the folding mechanism near the base of the T-bar. Press the designated buttons (refer to diagram in physical manual if available) and unfold the T-bar until it locks securely into the upright position. Ensure it clicks into place.
- Adjusting Handlebar Height: Loosen the clamp on the T-bar stem. Adjust the handlebar to the desired height, ensuring it is comfortable for the rider. Tighten the clamp firmly to secure the handlebar.
- Pre-Ride Check: Before the first ride and every subsequent ride, ensure all connections are tight, especially the handlebar clamp and the folding mechanism. Check that the wheels spin freely and the brake functions correctly.
Operating Your Scooter
The Micro Kickboard Mini Deluxe utilizes a lean-to-steer mechanism, which helps develop balance and coordination.
- Getting Started: Place one foot firmly on the deck of the scooter. Use the other foot to push off the ground to gain momentum.
- Steering: To turn, lean your body in the direction you wish to go. The lean-to-steer system will intuitively guide the front wheels. Avoid sharp, sudden turns.
- Braking: To slow down or stop, gently press down on the foot brake located above the rear wheel with your heel. Apply gradual pressure for smooth stops.
- Riding Posture: Encourage the rider to stand upright with a slight bend in the knees, maintaining a relaxed grip on the handlebars.
Care and Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life of your Micro Kickboard Mini Deluxe Scooter.
- Cleaning: Wipe the scooter clean with a damp cloth after use. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Wheel Inspection: Periodically check the wheels for wear and tear. Ensure they spin freely and are free of debris. The polyurethane wheels are designed for durability.
- Fastener Check: Regularly inspect all screws, bolts, and clamps to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Storage: Store the scooter in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prevent material degradation.
