Pre-Ride Inspection
Pre-Ride Inspection
Safety is always first. Make sure your scooter is always is good working order. Simple visual
and mechanical checks will be outlined and should
ALWAYS
be performed prior to riding your
scooter. If you do find damaged or worm parts DO NOT ride the scooter. Contact a local
powersports dealer for repairs or contact us at www.RideGreenUS for technical repair guides
and available replacement parts.
1. Brake Check
There is nothing more important than having brakes to stop. If any parts of the
braking system are worn or broken DO NOT RIDE THE SCOOTER. Frayed, damaged
or loose brake cables, excessive play in the brake levers and worn drum brake
pads are all reasons NOT TO RIDE.
a. Test brake levers for proper adjustment.
b. Visually inspect the brake cables & proper adjustment.
a. Test Brake Levers for Proper Adjustment
A very simple test can be done by squeezing the brake levers. Too tight will cause
excessive wear on brake pads and cause early replacement. Too loose is highly
dangerous. A properly adjusted brake lever will move approximately two inches until
a firm resistance is felt from the brakes. If the brake lever action is too loose or too
tight you can easily adjust the brakes.

b. Brake Adjustments & Cable Inspection
To adjust the brakes simple use a
9/16” or 15mm open end wrench.
As you face of the brake cable
clockwise reduces brake lever
travel and tightens the brakes,
the reverse increases brake lever
travel and loosens the brakes.
In Addition, visually inspect the brake
cable for wear or damage.

ALWAYS make sure the ignition switch is the OFF POSITION
