Setup
The Jetson Jupiter scooter comes largely pre-assembled. Follow these steps for initial setup:
- Unfolding the Scooter:
Locate the folding mechanism near the base of the stem. Release the latch or lever according to the diagram (refer to image below). Gently pull the handlebar stem upwards until it locks securely into the upright position. Ensure the locking mechanism is fully engaged before use.

- Adjusting Handlebar Height:
Locate the quick-release clamp on the handlebar stem. Open the clamp, then slide the handlebar up or down to the desired height. Ensure the handlebar is at a comfortable level for the rider, typically around hip height. Close the quick-release clamp firmly to secure the handlebar in place. Test its stability before riding.

- Check All Connections:
Before every ride, ensure all screws, bolts, and clamps are tight and secure. Check the wheels for any obstructions or damage.
Operating Instructions
Operating your Jetson Jupiter scooter is straightforward:
- Starting: Place one foot firmly on the scooter deck. Use the other foot to push off the ground, gaining momentum.
- Riding: Once you have enough speed, place both feet on the deck, one behind the other. Steer by leaning gently in the desired direction and turning the handlebars.
- Braking: To slow down or stop, press your foot down firmly on the rear fender brake located above the back wheel. Apply gradual pressure for smooth stops.
- LED Lights: The integrated LED lights activate automatically with motion, providing enhanced visibility and a fun aesthetic. No batteries are required for the wheel lights as they are powered by kinetic energy. The stem and deck lights are typically battery-powered (check product packaging for battery type and installation if applicable, though the product description implies all lights are integrated and motion-activated).
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life of your scooter:
- Cleaning: Wipe the scooter clean with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Avoid direct water spray to protect electronic components.
- Inspections: Periodically check all nuts, bolts, and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Inspect the wheels for wear and tear, and ensure they spin freely.
- Storage: Store the scooter in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and moisture. The easy-folding mechanism allows for compact storage.
- Bearings: If wheels become stiff, the bearings may need cleaning or replacement. This typically requires professional service.
Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Wheels not lighting up. | Insufficient speed or kinetic energy. | Ensure the scooter is moving at a sufficient speed for the kinetic lights to activate. Check for any debris obstructing wheel rotation. |
| Scooter feels unstable. | Handlebar not securely clamped; loose components. | Check that the handlebar quick-release clamp is fully tightened. Inspect all bolts and fasteners for tightness. |
| Brake not effective. | Worn brake fender; debris under brake. | Clear any debris from the brake area. If the brake fender is worn, it may need replacement (contact support). |
| Folding mechanism stuck. | Debris or misalignment. | Ensure no debris is lodged in the mechanism. Apply gentle force while following the unfolding/folding instructions. Do not force if resistance is high. |
