How to Fold Up Your electric scooter
The electric scooter is unlike any transportation device on the market today in terms of its
light weight, compact size, and unprecedented portability. With your electric scooter, you
can ride to your destination, fold it, and carry or stow it almost anywhere.
Lowering your steering column:
1. Locate the steering column Nut. This is a large 1 1/2“ diameter nut located at the base
of the steering column. Loosen/turn the steering column nut counterclockwise. (Fig. K)
2. Locate the spring-loaded steering column button. This pencil erasersized button
is located on the front of the electric scooter 5 inches below the steering solumn
nut. Depress the steering column button and, with your other hand, slowly push the
steering column downward.(Fig. L)
Folding your electric scooter:
1. Locate the folding lever. This is a large lever located near the front wheel and is
adjacent to the master hinge at the base of the steering column. With your thumb,
firmly press down and hold the folding lever. (Fig. M)
2. With your other hand, hold the steering column and pull down until it stops. Your
electric scooter is now in the folded position. (Fig. N)
Turn Off the power after each use:
Remember to turn your electric scooter off after each use. Keeping the power “ON” for
intermittent use throughout the day does not substantially affect battery life. However, you
should turn the power “OFF” if you do not plan to ride within 12 hours.
Regular maintenance: Keep It Clean. Keep It Going.
1. Your electric scooter is NOT a toy. It is a serious transportation device
that requires regular cleaning and attention to maintain peak performance.
IMPORTANT: WHEN CLEANING YOUR ELECTRIC SCOOTER, DO NOT USE A WATER
HOSE, RUNNING WATER, OR WATER UNDER PRESSURE IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH
THIS UNIT. ALSO, DO NOT CLEAN WITH COMMERCIAL CLEANSERS. MANY WILL
LEAVE A SLIPPERY RESIDUE THAT WILL INHIBIT PERFORMANCE OF OR DESTROY THE
TIRE MATERIAL AND CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE.
2. Remove embedded dirt and debris using a soft bristled brush such as an old toothbrush. Pay special attention to pins,
hinges, and spaces around the folding lever and front tire.
3. Make a diluted solution of mild laundry detergent and water. Use one teaspoon laundry detergent to one gallon of water.
4. Wipe aluminum, wood parts, and tires with a soft cloth or sponge that has been slightly dampened with a diluted
solution of mild detergent and water.
Check Your Tires:
Tires may also be cleaned with a soft cloth or sponge slightly dampened with 70% pure isopropyl alcohol.
(Do not flood the tires with alcohol, which can thin the lubricant on the tire’s bearings.)
Check to make sure that the tires‘ bolts are not too tight or loose, and check air pressure of tire.
