- Storage: Store the scooter in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Handlebar wobbles | Handlebar clamp is loose or not fully engaged. | Ensure the quick-release clamp is fully closed and tightened. Re-insert the handlebar until it clicks into place. |
