STOPPING AND BRAKING

• The flex brake is a friction brake designed to slow the scooter, not stop it abruptly. do not rely on it to stop the scooter very quickly. It is only capable of slowing the scooter.
• To use the brake to slow the scooter, press the flex brake against the wheel in an on and off motion with your shoe. Depending on your foot position on the deck, this means shifting your shoe to do it. So, before riding the scooter, be sure to practice applying the brake. Practice in an area free of potential traffic hazards and the public.
• Keep in mind that the brake will become hot by the friction when used, so do not touch the flex brake after braking.
• Do not skid. Skidding will cause a flat spot in the tire of your scooter. Wheel rotation can become rough or unstable.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

• Only clean your scooter with a ordinary household dish soap and water.
• Do not use a power washer, abrasive industrial solvents or cleaners to clean. Do not use alcohol. These things can damage the finish or decals.
• The wheel bearings in the front and rear wheel are maintenance free. This mean that they do not require periodic lubrication. However, you should check bearing condition periodically. Check for smooth wheel rotation and make sure this is no excessive side-to-side play.
