3.2 Maintenance activities
Clean the scooter with a damp, soft cloth every time
when you have finished using it. Never use abrasive or
solvent-based cleaning solutions to clean the product.
Store the product preferably in a dry and dust-free
space.
3.2.1 Wheels
• The wheels wear down with time and can be damaged
if used frequently on rough surfaces. The rear wheel
on which the brake is applied is particularly affected
after several hours of braking. In the interest of
safety, both wheels should be checked regularly and
changed if necessary.
• The wheels might not rotate smoothly anymore when
the bearings are affected by sand, water or filthiness.
Clean the bearings or replace them if necessary.
• To change the wheels, remove the axle bolts with two
allen keys and slide the wheels off its fork. Place the
new wheels and use new bolts to tighten everything
back in place. For the rear wheel, make sure the
two spacer rings are still positioned correctly. Only
100mm or 110mm wheels can be used on the
scooter.
• Axles regularly need to be checked as vibration from
use can loosen them.
3.2.2 Handlebar
• If the handlebar is not fixed tightly, use an allen key to
tighten the bolts inside the clamp properly. Use firm
pressure but avoid overtightening.
• To change the grips, the handlebar end caps need to
be removed with force. Use hot water and/or soap
to replace the grips. Insert new handlebar end caps
inside the handlebar and push the handlebar against
a hard surface to tighten the handlebar end cap.
• When the handlebar feels wobbly/loose it is
necessary to tighten the IHC compression system
with an allen key. Remove the handlebar in order to
do so. After tightening, the fork should still be able to
spin freely, however if over tightened, movement can
be restricted and the compression or headset can be
damaged.
