c) Folding and storage
To facilitate transport and storage, your scooter can be folded. To do this, remove the saddle and
the metal stem. Then with one hand, press the retractable handle while pressing the handlebar to
fold it. Lower the handlebars until you hear the mechanism lock in the down position.
d) Tyre pressure
Tires should be inflated to a maximum of 50 P.S.I. It is also recommended to use a tube additive
such as "Slime" available in motorcycle shops, to avoid punctures.
e) Adjusting the stem
The stem is originally tight, but it may loosen due to shock or wear.
It may need to be adjusted. To do this, turn the handlebars as far as
possible to reveal the clamp. (See picture).
Using a large adjustable wrench, turn the clamp clockwise to
tighten. Be careful not to overtighten, as this may damage this part.
f) Adjusting the string
The original chain is already adjusted, however it is possible to have to readjust it. The chain
must be well aligned in the sprockets to avoid uneven wear.
How tight should the chain be?
If the chain jumps or jumps on the sprockets, the chain is too loose and
possibly dangerous.
If the chain hums when the wheel turns, the chain is too tight and may
break.
To tighten the chain :
Slightly loosen the two axle bolts on both sides of the rear wheel. Then
slowly adjust the two set screws on each side of the rear tire until the
chain reaches the proper tension.
Turn the rear wheel to make sure the chain is properly aligned. Finally, retighten the rear axle bolts
before riding.
