Assemble and Adjust Hand Brakes
WARNING: The hand brakes on this bike scooter are not adjusted at the factory.
You must assemble and adjust the hand brakes before riding.
Install brake levers onto handlebar (this may already be done in the factory). The brake
lever on the right hand side connects to the front brake, and the brake lever on the left
hand side connects the rear brake.
Assemble and Adjust Hand Brakes:
1. Insert the barrel end of the brake cable wire (d) into the hole in the brake lever.
(See Fig 2)
Squeeze the rear brake arms with your hand (caliper brake or v-brake) until the brake
rubbers are up against the wheel rims. This will enable the inner brake cable wire to be
loose and have enough space for you to easily slip the barrel cap (d) into the hole in
the brake lever.
Pull the brake cable wire through the slot in the front of the brake lever and the barrel
cap will spring into the key hole of the brake lever.
2. Adjust hand brakes. (See Fig 3)
Loosen the anchor bolt nut (e). Pull the brake cable wire through the anchor bolt hole
until there is no slack in the inner brake wire. Tighten the anchor bolt nut (e). Be sure
the brake wire is locked securely through the anchor bolt and the rubber pad is
parallel with the rim with a clearance of 1.5 – 2mm in between.
3. Squeeze the brake lever and then release several times. Rotate the wheel, be
sure the wheel does not wobble.
WARNING: If after brake adjustments are made the hand brakes still do not function,
have the brakes repaired or adjusted at a bicycle service shop. Do not ride if brakes do
not function properly.
