Assembly of Electric Scooters

-
Open the box, noting “THIS SIDE UP”
-
Remove the top foam pieces covering the scooter body.
-
Remove small parts, bag, tools, seat post, trunk, trunk
bracket, etc. from foam inserts.
-
While the scooter is still in the box, carefully raise the
handlebar post and place
on the post on the base of body, connecting the
base post extending from the wheel to the handlebar post. Be sure to put the
little loose bar inside of the handlebar pole. Open the plastic bag included
with your scooter and find the longer hollow screw and the small short
screw. Insert this long screw through the hole in the handlebar pole. This
screw will fit flush on the other side of the pole. Take the small screw and
put in the hollow screw. Tighten.
This
is an important step because this screw keeps the handlebar pole from
separating from the body in case it is pulled hard or the clamp is not
tightened
enough.
BE SURE TO DO THIS STEP.
-
BE SURE THAT THE WHEEL IS POSITIONED
CORRECTLY AND NOT BACKWARDS. IF IT IS TURNED AROUND THEN THE SCOOTER
WILL NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. MAKE SURE THAT THE WHEEL DOES NOT RUB THE
REAR OF THE WHEEL WELL. In the
picture to the right, you will see the clamp at the base of the steering
pole. Be sure to position the clamp so that the open side of the clamp
is over the open slot on the pole. Now you can tighten the clamp and
when you do, it will pull the pole tight over the base post and secure
it. It is normal for the steering to have a little movement. This is so
that when a bump is hit, the scooter will "give" a bit.
-
On the handlebar, up by the dash, you will see a thumbscrew on
each side under the bars. Remove these screws and put the handle bar
grips
into place noting the small holes in the bottom of each handle bar grip.
Once in place, find the holes, line them up and screw the thumbscrew into
the holes. Hand tighten only. Now, tighten the hex nut on top of the
handlebar grip, but do not over tighten. You can break the strip that is
being tightened to hold the grip on.
-
With the help of a 2nd person, one person should
lift the front wheel and the other person lift on the rear wheel and remove
the scooter from the box. Don’t lift on the plastic body of the scooter. Put
the kickstand down and sit scooter up. You can also use the back wheel foam
piece as a stabilizer to hold the scooter secure while you finish the setup.
-
Get a fuse from the plastic bag. Remove the cap from the fuse
holder on the body of the scooter. Place the fuse in the fuse holder. Screw
the cap on. You will notice a quick spark and snapping sound when you do
this step. This is normal, and should not alarm you.
-
Do an electrical check. Put key in the ignition, turn on, and
see if all accessories work: Horn, turn signals, headlight, throttle, brake
light.
-
At this point,
if everything
checks
out, you can plug the scooter in and start charging.
It is usually best to plug the jack of the charger into the scooter first,
note the guide that positions the plug correctly, then plug the charger into
the wall electrical plug.

-
Get the trunk and the trunk bracket (looks like a “T” with two
crosses and a
clamp on the other end.) When assembling, be sure to position
the clamp away from the lock of the scooter and the hinges nearest to the
seat clamp. Open the trunk and you will see
the gaskets, reinforcement bars, screws, washers, and nuts in a plastic bag.
The screws and lock washer are placed in the metal rectangular reinforcement
bars, then this is placed inside the trunk, screws extended through the
holes in the bottom of the trunk, through the rubber gasket, through the
bracket, a flat washer placed, and then the nut is screwed in place. Repeat
this for all 4 holes. Now the trunk is assembled. Set aside.
-
Find the post that has the curved extension on it. Unscrew the
black hand screw on the rear of the scooter. Retain the gasket washers.
Place the post in the hole in the scooter body, noting the guide it slides
into and turn the post into place. If you would like to put a small thin
washer along side the seat post when you insert it into the body, this
will add a bit of tightness to the seat. Make sure that the curved
extension is about 1" above the body of the scooter. This will allow it
to be pulled down and tight when you screw it in place. Just bend the
extension a bit to accomplish this. Put a gasket washer over the hole on the
body of the scooter between the extension and the scooter body, where the
hand screw was, line up the curved extension with this hole, put a gasket
washer on top of the curved extension, then place the hand screw in the hole
and tighten. Make sure you have it aligned correctly so the screw does not
strip. Again, you may have to adjust the curved extension, bending it slightly to
fit. Most of the time, tightening the screw will pull it into place. Now the
seat post is in place.
-
Place the seat /post assembly into the base seat post.
Position to the height you desire and tighten the hand clamp, positioning
the clamp opening on top of the slits in the post. This will make the post
compress, draws it tight, and makes the connection secure. Tighten securely.
