B. Tires and Wheels:
Check that pneumatic tires are properly inflated. Refer to the sidewall of
the tire for recommended PSI. Check using a tire pressure gauge is
recommended
but you can
also bounce your weight on the scooter and compare tire deflection to how it looks when you
know the tires are properly inflated. Spin the wheels and check that the tires have not yet
reached the wear marks on the tires, have ripped, torn, or show any signs of distress and
replace as
necessary
. Make sure the wheels spin freely and true. If wheels wobble, rub the
brakes then take it to a
qualified authorized
Go-Ped® dealer for
adjustments
.
C. Brakes:
Squeeze the brake levers and check that they are getting proper contact with the
disc. Full braking force is
applied
when you
squeeze
the lever and the lever cannot touch the
handle bar or grip. The brakes should not
interfere
with the rotation of the wheel when not
applied. Make sure that the brake
caliper
gets full contact with the disc. Make sure that
all brake
surfaces are clean and free of debris.
Do not ride the scooter until the brakes are properly
adjusted.
WARNING: Riding with improperly adjusted brakes is dangerous and can result in
serious injury.
D. Control levers and cables:
Familiarize yourself with the levers and controls. Squeeze and
or twist all levers/controls and make sure they are
functioning
properly. If they stick, move at the
base, or do not get full range of motion, make
adjustments
as
necessary
or take to an
authorized
Go-Ped® dealer for service. Do not ride the scooter until the control levers and cables are
properly adjusted.
Control levers are
originally
positioned where they work best for most people. The angle of the
controls can be changed to better suit you. Ask your dealer to show you how, or learn how to
make the adjustments yourself.
WARNING: Riding with improperly adjusted controls and cables is dangerous and can
result in serious injury.
E. Engine:
Check the idle speed. Idle speed should be adjusted so that the motor will run at a
slow pace but remain running when the throttle is in the fully closed position. Make any
necessary adjustment or have the adjustment preformed by an authorized Go-Ped® dealer.
Make sure that the air filter is clean and clean if
necessary
. Recommend to be cleaned after
every ride to help prolong engine life.
Due to engine vibration, nuts and bolts can become loose. Make sure that
carburetor,
muffler,
motor mounts and other fasteners are
securely
fastened and tighten if
necessary
.
WARNING: Muffler and exhaust components are hot and you should allow ample time
to allow for cooling before performing any adjustments or repairs to the motor.
2.3) Scooting Safety
CAUTION:
Like most sports, scooting involves risk of injury and damage. By choosing to ride a
scooter you assume the
responsibility
for that risk. This makes it
extremely important
that you
know, understand, and practice the rules of safe and
responsible
riding.
Scooting can be an environmentally useful, safe and fun way of reducing traffic congestion.
CAUTION:
Modifications to the exhaust or intake will change the noise level of your scooter
which can will disturb others. Making changes or modifications to your scooter can make your
scooter act or perform in a manner that is unsafe and is not recommended.
WARNING: Many Go-Ped® service and repair tasks require special knowledge and
tools. Do not begin any adjustments, service, or repair on your Go-Ped® if you have
the slightest doubt about your ability to properly complete them. Improper adjust-
ments, service, or repair may result in damage to the Go-Ped®, and/or accident which
can cause serious injury.
WARNING: Any modification of this unit voids the warranty, including but not limited to,
disconnecting the exhaust tube from the muffler, using either wheels or tires not
manufactured by PMW, modifying the emissions control systems of the engine,
attempting to enhance the speed or performance of the engine, equipping the
engine with non OEM components. Such modifications will create DANGEROUS AND
HAZARDOUS conditions for the rider, and can result in serious personal injury
If you insist on doing adjustments, service or repair, ask your authorized Go-Ped® dealer if a
service manual and any specialized tools are available. It is also a good idea to have an autho-
rized Go-Ped® dealer check the quality of your work before you ride just to make sure you did
everything correctly.
8.1) Service and Maintenance Schedule
Some service and maintenance can and should be performed by the owner, and require no
special tools or knowledge beyond what is in this manual. It is always a good idea to go over key
points with an authorized Go-Ped® dealer who can further assist you with questions you might
have and is an excellent source for your OEM parts. If you have trouble finding your closest
authorized dealer you can find them by using our online dealer finder tool at www.goped.com.
1. Break-in Period:
Your Go-Ped® will last longer and perform better if you break it in before
riding it hard. Control cables will stretch or “seat” when a new Go-Ped® is used for the first time
and may require readjustment by your authorized Go-Ped® dealer. Your “Mechanical Safety
Check” will help you identify some of the things that may need adjustment. It is recommended that
you have an authorized Go-Ped® dealer perform a periodic checkup. Typically, a dealer will
suggest your bring it back for a 30 day checkup or after the first 5 to 15 hours depending on
your riding style and geographic conditions. But if you suspect something is wrong with your Go-
Ped®, take it to your authorized Go-Ped® dealer before attempting to ride it.
2. Before every ride:
Mechanical Safety Check (see section 2.2). Inspect and lube chain.
Keeping your chain well lubed will dramatically increase its usable life. Inspect your airfilter and
clean and oil as required.
3. After a long ride, exposure to water and grit, or every 100 miles:
Clean the Go-Ped®
with a wet sponge and wipe dry. Clean and oil chain and check chain tension, you should also
clean and check your airfilter. Inspect all components for the scooter as described in mechanical
safety check.
4. After every long ride or hard ride or after ever 10 to 20 hours of riding:
Check all the
control cables to insure that they are securely attached
, kinks, and/or fraying then have your
authorized Go-Ped® dealer replace them. Clean and oil your Chain and Airfilter.
Lift the front wheel off the ground and turn from side to side and wiggle back and fourth. If the
steering feels loose or sloppy do not ride and have an authorized Go-Ped® dealer check it.
WARNING: Go-Ped® Scooters are equipped with a mechanical “fuse” in the folding
hinge assembly which is designed to fail before a catastrophic failure. If your “t”
handle feels abnormally loose or sloppy you must immediately stop riding and have
the scooter serviced. Failure to ignore this safety feature could result in a cata-
strophic failure causing a loss of control and/or injury.
Inspect the brakes: Check to see that you have sufficient brake shoe life (more then the
thickness of a dime). Make sure the brake pads are getting full contact with the brake disc and
that proper braking force can be applied. Adjust, replace, or repair as needed. You may wish to
have an authorized Go-Ped® service center preform this task for you.
