Your scooter is foldable. The manufacturer's default adjustments allow the stem to be unfolded and locked
without play. The folding system must be checked every 3 to 6 months. If you feel any play in the stem
while riding, please follow the steps below to adjust it.
1.
Using a 5 mm Allen key, loosen screw [a] (counter-clockwise), and make sure to only loosen it, do not
remove the screw.
2.
Using a 2.5 mm Allen key, tighten screw [b] (clockwise).
3.
Using a 5 mm Allen key, tighten screw [a] (clockwise).
4.
Check again that the stem can be unfolded and locked firmly and that there is no play.
It is recommended to replace the stopper after 2 years. Contact your nearest dealer.
V. Braking
The KICKWAY E1 electric scooter features a disc brake at the front and (at the rear), which brakes
efficiently but must be well controlled. Therefore, please pay attention to the following points:
• To slow down, simply release the throttle.
• To brake, do not press the brake handle too hard. Sudden braking can lead to a loss of balance and
fall; press down the brake lever gradually to slow down safely.
• Do not tighten your brake cable more than necessary at the brake calliper. The front or rear wheel
must not lock during emergency braking and cause a fall.
• Never touch the brake disc with your fingers after using the brake system, as you might burn yourself.
• Before to each use, ensure the front and rear brakes are in perfect working order.
• The right lever activates the rear brake. The left lever activates the front brake.
• It is recommended to distribute your braking force to 60/40 on average between the front and the rear.
The brake lever must not come into contact with the handlebar and the sheaths must not be bent at
a sharp angle so that the cables slide with minimal friction. Damaged, frayed or rusty cables must be
replaced immediately.
WARNING:
In case of rain or wet weather, braking distances are extended. In such situation, braking
must be anticipated.
• When cornering and braking, the handlebars can have a negative influence on the rider's response
time.
1. Adjusting the mechanical disc bakes
• The brake pads exert pressure on a disc attached to the wheel hub. The pressure intensity is
controlled by a brake lever via a cable. Do not actuate the brake lever when the wheel is detached
from the frame or fork.
• If the brake is too tight or too loose, the brake cable must be adjusted to align the calliper with the
brake disc.
• To align the mechanical disc brake calliper, loosen the fastening screws of the brake calliper bracket.
Brake with the corresponding brake lever (the brake calliper is positioned correctly) and hold the brake
lever in this position while tightening the fastening screws of the calliper bracket.
• Check that the inner pad (inside the wheel) is 0.2 - 0.4 mm from the disc. If this is not enough, tighten
the pad positioning screw until there is a 0.2 - 0.4 mm gap between the pad and the disc.
• To adjust the outer pad (outside the wheel), simply change the brake cable tension to achieve a gap of
0.2 - 0.4 mm at the calliper or brake lever level.
• Never spray oil or any other lubricant onto the disc or pads. If this happens, the pads and disc should
be degreased or replaced.
• Check the alignment of the brake pads by turning the wheel. You can now set off.
• Discs: Your scooter is equipped with 8.5-inch diameter discs.
• A nut and locknut system on the brake calliper allows you to adjust the cable tension and therefore the
brake force, which will vary over time according to the wear of the brake pads.
• Brake pads are standard, replace them when they no longer have a friction component.
