Usage Features:

Unfolding: To unfold the scooter, the user pulls the 'handlebar lock' to release it, then pulls the handlebars up to a vertical position. The 'handlebar lock' must be pushed back down to lock the bars in position.
Folding: To fold the scooter, the user pulls up the 'handlebar lock' to release it, then pushes down the handlebars. The 'handlebar lock' springs back to lock in position.
Adjusting Handlebar Height: The handlebars stem adjuster is loosened, and the handlebars are pulled out until a button pops out. To adjust the height, the button is pushed in, and the handlebars are moved up or down to one of the four height options. Once the desired height is reached, the stem adjuster is screwed tight.
Riding: The rider grips the handlebars, places one foot on the deck, and uses the other foot to kick off the ground to gain motion. Steering is achieved by leaning the handlebars to the left or right. To stop or slow down, the rider places their kicking foot on the brake pedal above the rear wheel.
Safety Guidelines:
- Adult supervision is required for use.
- Always wear a helmet, knee pads, wrist pads, elbow pads, protective clothing, and proper shoes.
- Ensure all screws and wheels are tightly in place before each use. Hex keys are provided for tightening.
- Only one rider at a time.
- Do not use for jumping stunts or tricks.
- Avoid use at night, in poor weather (rain, snow, poor visibility), or in heavily populated areas (pavements, streets, muddy/rocky/slippery surfaces). Recommended for use in a park or open space.
- The brake can get hot from continuous use; avoid touching it after braking.
- Do not use on roads or public highways.
- Do not over-steer to prevent falling.
- Regularly check all fixings, including wheels, for tightness.
- Never ride without tightening the scooter.
- Check all clamping devices for tightness and the foot brake prior to riding.

Maintenance Features:

Cleaning: After use, wipe the product with mild detergent.
Storage: Store in a dry place, away from high temperatures, intense sunlight, or dusty areas.

Modifications: No modifications other than those specified by the manufacturer's instructions should be made.

Lubrication: It is suggested to clean and add lubricant every 6 months, focusing on moving parts, clearing them of grit and dirt to ensure free movement.
