user weight. (fig. A +B)
- Suspension harder: Turn the nut (fig. A) a little more tightly clockwise.
- Softer suspension: Turn the nut (fig. B) counterclockwise a little bit.

Riding instructions
- Securely step with one foot onto the footboard (platform) of the scooter and with your other foot push off the ground.
- Perform steering maneuvers at lower speeds first. To improve your turns, slightly shift your body weight towards the desired direction of
riding.
- To stop, engage the rear brake by stepping on it. Perform braking attempts at lower speeds and in less crowded environments first.
Please note that wet conditions will significantly reduce the braking action, resulting in a considerably longer braking distance.
Warning: The brake can become hot during use. Do not touch after braking.
-
Adult supervision is strongly recommended.
Maintenance and storage
- Under normal circumstances and if used properly, the wheels and wheel bearings are maintenance-free. You should nevertheless
check the condition of the wheels, the tightness of axles, and the travel of wheel bearings from time to time. To protect from corrosion
you may lubricate the wheel bearings externally with suitable bearing grease. Pay attention to loose or slack components. If a wheel
or wheel bearing shows wear and tear, it must be replaced. Worn tires are items subject to wear and tear and therefore do not
constitute any grounds for complaint.
- To replace the wheels, loosen the axle bolts using two Allen wrenches (size 5) and remove the wheel from the axle. Remove the ball
bearing from the wheel (e.g. by pushing it out with a screwdriver). Those can be used again. It is nevertheless recommend replacing
the bearings as well. Install the bearings and the spacer sleeve to the new wheel and use the axle bolts to attach the wheel to the frame
(or wheel fork). Make sure the axle is firmly tightened before using the scooter again.
- Note: Self-locking nuts.
At this point there might be self-locking nuts. (They can be recognized by a plastic ring inside one of the grooves of the nut.) Please note
the following in that regard:
Once loosened, self-locking nuts must not be used again! The plastic ring inside the nut will wear off when the nut is loosened, thereby
disabling its securing effect. Always replace self-locking nuts by new ones.
- Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents for cleaning the scooter. Use a damp cloth. Let the scooter dry completely after cleaning.
- Check the product for damage and wear before and after each use.
- Store the scooter in a dry, safe location protected from the elements in order to prevent damage and injuries.
- Protect your scooter from wetness and moisture. Water destroys ball bearings, headsets and can peel off the grip tapes. If the scooter
does get wet, then dry it off completely as soon as possible.
Tip: Please completely avoid moisture and wetness.
- Do not perform any modifications that could compromise the safety!
- For your own safety use original spare parts only.
