4. Setup and Assembly

The SiMbae Two-in-One product is designed for easy disassembly and assembly, allowing quick conversion between skateboard and scooter modes. While specific instructions for the scooter conversion are not provided, the general assembly for the skateboard is straightforward.

4.1 Skateboard Assembly (if not pre-assembled)

1. Attach Trucks: Position the aluminum trucks onto the designated mounting holes on the underside of the skateboard deck. Ensure the kingpin (the large bolt in the center of the truck) faces inwards towards the center of the board.
2. Secure Hardware: Insert the mounting bolts through the deck from the top, aligning them with the holes in the truck baseplate. Secure with nuts from the underside. Tighten all nuts evenly using a skateboard tool or wrench until the trucks are firmly attached but allow for slight movement for turning.
3. Install Wheels and Bearings: If wheels are not pre-assembled with bearings, gently press two ABEC-7 bearings into each wheel. Place one wheel on each axle of the trucks, securing them with the axle nuts. Do not overtighten; wheels should spin freely without wobble.

1. Disassembly of Skateboard Trucks: Carefully remove the front truck assembly from the skateboard deck.

3. Re-attachment of Rear Truck: The rear truck typically remains in place for the scooter configuration.

Please refer to the specific instructions included in your product packaging for detailed steps on converting between skateboard and scooter configurations, as the exact mechanism may vary.
