ABOUT THIS MANUAL
It is important for you to understand your new scooter. By reading this manual before you go out on your first ride, you’ll know how
to get better performance, comfort, and enjoyment from your new scooter.
It is also important that your first ride on your new scooter is taken in a controlled environment, away from cars, obstacles,
and other cyclists.
GENERAL WARNING
Scooter riding can be a hazardous activity even under the best of circumstances. Proper maintenance of your scooter is your responsi-
bility as it helps reduce the risk of injury. This manual contains many “Warnings” and “Cautions” concerning the consequences of failure
to maintain or inspect your scooter. Many of the warnings and cautions say “you may lose control and fall.” Because any fall can result
in serious injury or even death, we do not repeat the warning of possible injury or death whenever the risk of falling is mentioned.
A SPECIAL NOTE FOR PARENTS
It is a tragic fact that most scooter accidents involve children. As a parent or guardian, you bear the responsibility for the activities and
safety of your minor child. Among these responsibilities are to make sure that the scooter which your child is riding is properly fitted
to the child; that it is in good repair and safe operating condition; that you and your child have learned, understand and obey not only
the applicable local motor vehicle, scooter, and traffic laws, but also the common sense rules of safe and responsible scooter riding.
As a parent, you should read this manual before letting your child ride the scooter. Please make sure that your child always wears an
approved bicycle helmet when riding.

Threadless headsets and clamp-on stems are not adjustable. Please refer to page 14
for instructions on installation.
The stem’s “Minimum Insertion” mark must not be visible above the top of the headset.
If the stem is extended beyond this mark, the stem may break or damage the fork’s
steerer tube, which could cause you to lose control and fall.
Failure to properly tighten the stem binder bolt, the handlebar binder bolt, or the bar
end extension clamping bolts may compromise steering action, which could cause you
to lose control and fall. Place the front wheel of the scooter between your legs and
attempt to twist the handlebar/stem assembly using a reasonable amount of force. If
you can twist the stem in relation to the front wheel, turn the handlebars in relation to
the stem, or turn the bar end extensions in relation to the handlebar, you must tighten
the appropriate bolts accordingly.
