TIRE REPAIR
If a tire is punctured or damaged, you should replace it not repair it. As discussed below,
a tire that is repaired, either temporarily or permanently, will have lower speed and
performance limits than a new tire. A temporary repair, such as an external tubeless tire
plug, may not be safe for normal speeds and riding conditions. If a temporary or
emergency repair is made to a tire, you should ride slowly and cautiously to a Service
Center and have the tire replaced. If possible, you should not carry a passenger or cargo
until a new tire is installed.
Even when a tire is professionally repaired with a permanent internal patchy plug, it will
not be as good as a new tire. In addition, you may not be able to safely carry as much
weight as with a new tire. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you replace a
damaged tire. If you choose to have a tire repaired, be sure the wheel is balanced before
you ride.
WARNING
Using tires that are excessively worn or improperly inflated can cause an accident in
which you can be seriously hurt or killed. Follow all instructions in this owner’s manual
regarding tire inflation and maintenance. Rad2Go recommends you to always use
original tires as replaced.
WARNING
Incorrect tire inflation pressure causes uneven tread wear and will make your scooter
unstable and potentially dangerous. You must never ride a scooter on a tire with a tread
depth of less then 0.1 in (2 mm). Do not use the scooter if the tires wear indicators show
that the tire is worn out.
There are several kinds of tread wear indicators. If the tires appear to you to be worn out,
they certainly are, and should be changed.
FRONT AND REAR BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
WARNING
Check your brakes often to ensure proper braking capabilities.
The free movement of the front and rear brake lever should be one half inch to 1in. to
adjust this turn the nut clockwise and continue checking the lever until satisfactory.
