3. Compatibility

This Swagtron Rear Fender (4-Hole Mount) is specifically compatible with the following electric scooter models:

• Swagtron SG-5 Electric Scooter
• Swagtron SG-5 Boost Electric Scooter
• Swagtron SG-5S Electric Scooter

Ensure your scooter's current fender uses a 4-hole mounting system before purchasing or attempting installation. Incompatible parts can lead to improper fitment and potential safety hazards.

4. Installation

Follow these steps to install the Swagtron Rear Fender. It is recommended to perform this task in a well-lit area with the scooter powered off and stable.

Tools Required:

• Appropriate screwdriver (Phillips or Hex, depending on existing fasteners)
• Wrench (if nuts are used)
• Optional: Pliers, zip ties (for cable management)

Installation Steps:

1. Power Off Scooter: Ensure the electric scooter is completely powered off and disconnected from any charging source.
2. Stabilize Scooter: Place the scooter on its kickstand or a stable surface to prevent it from tipping during installation.
3. Locate Mounting Points: Identify the four mounting points where the fender attaches to the scooter frame. These are typically near the rear wheel.
4. Remove Old Fender (if applicable): Carefully unscrew and remove any existing fender. Pay attention to how any wires (e.g., for brake light) are routed and disconnected.
5. Connect Wiring (if applicable): If your new fender includes a brake light, connect its wiring to the scooter's corresponding connector. Ensure a secure connection. Route wires neatly to prevent pinching.
6. Position New Fender: Align the new Swagtron Rear Fender with the four mounting holes on the scooter frame.
7. Secure Fender: Insert the appropriate screws or bolts through the fender's mounting holes and into the scooter frame. Hand-tighten all fasteners first, then gradually tighten them with your tools, ensuring even pressure. Do not overtighten, as this can strip threads or crack the plastic.
8. Check Clearance: After installation, manually spin the rear wheel to ensure the fender does not rub against the tire or any other components.
9. Test Functionality: Power on the scooter and test the brake light (if applicable) to ensure it functions correctly.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps prolong the life of your fender and ensures safe operation of your scooter.

• Cleaning: Clean the fender regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt, mud, and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the plastic.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the fender for cracks, damage, or loose fasteners. Check the brake light for proper function.
• Fastener Tightness: Over time, vibrations can loosen fasteners. Check and gently re-tighten all mounting screws/bolts as needed.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your new fender, consider the following:

• Fender is Loose or Rattles:
  • Ensure all four mounting screws are securely tightened.
  • Verify that the fender is correctly aligned and not obstructed by other components.
• Brake Light Not Working (if applicable):
  • Check the wiring connection between the fender and the scooter. Ensure it is fully seated and not damaged.
  • Inspect the light itself for any visible damage.
• Fender Color Mismatch:
  • This OEM fender is supplied in black plastic. If your original fender was a different color (e.g., gray), the replacement will be black. This is a cosmetic difference and does not affect functionality.
