4. Setup and Assembly

The HUDORA Big Wheel Scooter 205 comes largely pre-assembled. Follow these steps to prepare your scooter for use:

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the scooter from its packaging. Remove all protective cardboard and plastic wrapping.
2. Unfolding the Scooter: Locate the folding mechanism near the base of the handlebar stem. Release the latch and unfold the scooter until it locks securely into the upright position. Ensure the mechanism is fully engaged and stable.
3. Attaching Handlebars: The handlebars are typically folded down or detached for shipping. Insert the handlebar grips into the T-bar until they click into place. Ensure they are firmly seated and do not wobble.
4. Adjusting Handlebar Height: Loosen the quick-release clamp on the handlebar stem. Press the button on the stem and slide the handlebar to your desired height. Ensure the button snaps into one of the adjustment holes for secure locking. Tighten the quick-release clamp firmly.

5. Operating Instructions

To operate your HUDORA Big Wheel Scooter 205 safely and effectively, follow these guidelines:

1. Riding Position: Place one foot firmly on the deck of the scooter. Use your other foot to push off the ground to gain momentum. Maintain a balanced stance with both hands on the handlebars.
2. Steering: Steer by gently leaning in the desired direction and turning the handlebars. Avoid sudden sharp turns at high speeds.
3. Braking: The scooter features a rear foot brake. To slow down or stop, gently press your heel down on the rear fender above the back wheel. Apply pressure gradually to avoid sudden stops.
4. Folding for Transport/Storage: To fold the scooter, release the quick-release clamp on the handlebar stem and lower the handlebars to their lowest position. Then, activate the main folding mechanism near the deck to collapse the scooter. Secure any latches to keep it folded.
