Light
Press the light button (12) once briefly to switch the light either on or off

ADJUSTMENTS

Brake adjustment dum brake
If the brake lever has too much „play“ for your needs, you can turn the nut on the drum brake clockwise.

Fine adjustment handlebar and folding mechanism
If you feel that the handlebars are wobbling a bit, first tighten the four bolts that secure the steering head with a 2.5 mm Allen wrench. Other screws are located on the folding mechanism and on the lower end of the handlebar. If you feel that the folding mechanism has some „play“ or that it does not engage or close correctly, you can adjust these screws. This requires good tuning, as the mechanism should have no  „play“, but should open smoothly by lifting the safety latch.

• To brake or stop, you can press the brake lever on the handlebars.
• To switch off the e-scooter, press and hold the on/off button for 4 seconds.
