PRE-RIDE ADJUSTMENTS
THE REAR BRAKE ON YOUR SCOOT - N - GO™ HAS BEEN PRE-ASSEMBLED AND PRE-ADJUSTED BY
THE MANUFACTURER.
HOWEVER, THE CABLE AND BRAKE MAY NEED ADJUSTMENT IF IT IS NOT SLOWING OR STOPPING
THE SCOOT - N - GO™ PROPERLY. THE BRAKE CAN BE ADJUSTED AT TWO POINTS ON THE THE
SCOOT - N - GO™ . ONE ADJUSTING SCREW IS AT THE REAR WHEEL AND OTHER IS AT THE BRAKE
LEVER.
REAR BRAKE ADJUSTMENT:
1. Determine brake lever has proper slack
*Brake lever cannot be too tight or it can snap the cable!
*Brake lever cannot be to loose or your SCOOT - N - GO™ may not stop correctly
2. To adjust slack, rotate brake adjustment knob to desired position.
Check slack by engaging the brake lever. (FIG. 2)
*Proper slack should be similar to FIG. 1 (A properly adjusted brake lever should leave approximately
1"- 1 1/4" between the brake lever and throttle grip)
3. If desired slack is achieved, rotate the locking nut clockwise until tight.
4. To adjust rear brake, locate adjustment screw at the rear wheel.
5. Loosen or tighten screw for proper adjustment. Rotate 3 to 4 times, and then check for desired
tension by rolling the scooter forward and engaging the brake.
6. If desired brake tension has been achieved, rotate the locking nut clockwise until tight.
7. Rear wheel should not roll when brake is engaged.
IF THE PROPER TENSION IS STILL NOT ACHIEVED, CHECK THE BRAKE AND CABLE TO ENSURE EVERY
PART IS PROPERLY CONNECTED. DAMAGED OR FAULTY BRAKE COMPONENTS (CABLE, BRAKE
ASSEMBLY) WILL NOT ALLOW FOR THE SCOOTER TO STOP PROPERLY AND SHOULD BE REPLACED
IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID ANY SERIOUS INJURIES TO THE USER OR OTHERS. REPEAT PROCEDURE
UNTIL DESIRED TENSION IS ACHIEVED.
Periodically check the control cables, cable housings, and brake lever. Any rust? Kinks? Fraying? If so, DO
NOT ride the SCOOT - N - GO™. Call Electra customer service at1-888-467-1234 M-F 10am - 9pm EST or
visit your local bicycle dealership and have them adjusted or replaced.
