3.
Insert the wheel into the front fork of the scooter frame (picture
). Make sure that the
security eye provided with a small beak is positioned correctly, (protruding part /beak/ of
security eye must be inserted in a small hole at the end of the fork – picture
) whereas the
axis of the wheel must be exactly in the middle of the fork.
4.
Tighten the nuts.
5.
For the handlebars: if the handlebar rod is pointing upward rotate it downward and evenly tighten
the four front piece screws (picture
). Incase the front piece has not been previously attached,
attach it to the handle bars and tighten all four front piece screws (picture
). If your handle bars
does not include a front piece (i.e. the bars are welded directly to the hansle bar rod), skip step 5.
6.
Insert the handlebar rod into the handlebar tube (picture
). Adjust the height of the
handlebars according to the rider’s needs. The maximum height is marked on the handlebar
rod. Check that the axis of the handlebars is parallel to the axis of the front wheel, and
properly tighten the screw (picture
).
7.
Place the second wheel into the back fork of the scooter frame according to the description in point nr. 3.
8.
Tighten the nuts.

V-brake
: Insert the oval ending of the brake cable (for the assembly it is generally valid that the
right lever brakes the rear wheel and the left lever brakes the front wheel) into a major round hole
(for diff erent types of levers, the grippings may diff er) situated on the brake lever and insert the
brake cable into the slot on the inferior part of the handlebars lever (picture
). Press both arms of
the V-brake towards the wheel rim and with an appropriate key (according to the model) adjust the
brake lining so that during the braking the brake lining chafes with its whole brake surface against
the side part of the rim (picture
). If necessary, tighten or loosen the brake cable with the ancho-
ring bolt (picture
) or with the adjusting screw on the brake lever so that there is, between the
rim and the brake lining, a distance of approximately 1–2 mm (picture
). If the wheel does not
turn freely and „slackens up“ on one side, it is possible to adjust this by tightening the tension bolt at
the arm of the V-brake that „slackens up“ (picture
), eventually by loosening the tension screw at
the arm of the V-brake which is more distant from the rim so that the wheel may turn freely. Control
the good functioning of the brake before riding. In case the scooter has also the front brake – mount
it and adjust it in the same way. In case the brake lever/s (on the handlebars) contains/contain the
adjusting screw ( situated on the side of the lever), by its tightening it is possible to achieve a shorter
distance between the lever and the grip (according to the size of the hand). Incase the scooter has a
front “V” brake it is important that the fork is turned so that the brake is situated in the front, also the
fork is slightly angled or positioned forward to provide balance for the scooter (picture
).
10.
Incase the kickstand has not yet been attached, screw it to the lower part of the frame so that
it folds out to the left side in relation to the riders perspective (picture
).
11.
Pump up the tyres according to the rider, maximally to the value marked on the tyre (bar/psi).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR RIDING
a)
During the start-up and during the whole time of riding, the rider has to have both hands on
the handlebars grips and minimally one foot on the deck of the scooter.
b)
Start to ride so that you put one foot on the deck (both hands on the grips – see point a) and
with a second foot take off in the direction of the ride.
c)
V-brake – Procedure for braking
: by pressing the brake lever on the handlebars (1–2 pieces) you
attain the necessary braking during which time the intensity of the braking depends on the force
of the pressure of the lever. During the braking, it is better for you to use more the rear brake. Use
the front brake (if it is included) as a slackening up brake (brake for ending up the braking or as an
emergency brake) – during a more intensive braking, an accident and injury may occur.
d)
Foot brake – Procedure for braking
: The process of braking with the rear footbrake is
done by stepping on the footbreak (located between the footboard and the rear wheel). The
intensity of braking corresponds to the pressure developed on the brake. The highest braking
eff ect is achieved by transfering the whole body weight of the rider onto the footbrake.
