MGI zip X5, User Manual

3.2 Rear Wheels Positions

The MGI ZIP buggy is designed to allow the rear wheels to be in 
two positions. The position is determined by where the wheel is 
locked on the axle in either of the two grooves [see picture]. The 
drive position is used during the normal operation of the buggy. 
The free wheel position is used to freely push the buggy should 
you experience battery or buggy issues on the course.

i. Drive position

– Lock the wheel onto the groove closest to the 

battery base.

 To do this, press the grey release button on the 

wheel hub, push the wheel on to the axle as far as possible. To 
test for drive position try rolling the wheel backwards. If you feel 
resistance then the wheel is now in drive position and ready to 
use. Repeat for both wheels.

ii. Free wheel

 – 

Lock the wheel into the groove 

closest to the 

end of the axle. To do this, press the grey release button on 
the wheel hub, push the wheel on to the axle and release the 
release button onto the groove. To test for free wheel position try 
rolling the wheel backwards. The wheel should spin freely with no 
resistance. Repeat for both wheels.
