Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Gotrax Hoverboard Kart, regular maintenance is recommended:

• Regularly inspect all screws, nuts, and bolts to ensure they are tight. Tighten as necessary.
• Check the condition of the nylon straps. Replace them if they show signs of wear or damage to ensure secure attachment to the hoverboard.

• Store the Hoverfly Kart in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting
