Troubleshooting
Lights are not working
Ensure AA batteries are correctly installed in the stem and wheel compartments with the correct polarity. Check if the batteries need replacement. Make sure the scooter is in motion, as some lights activate only when rolling.
Handlebar feels loose
Re-insert the handlebar stem firmly into the deck, ensuring it clicks or locks into place according to the design. Check for any locking mechanisms that may need to be engaged.
Scooter is difficult to steer
Verify that the Lean 'n' Steer mechanism is not obstructed. Ensure the rider is leaning their body weight to steer, as this is the intended method. Check if any debris is caught in the wheel assembly.
Wheels are not spinning freely
Inspect the wheels for any dirt, debris, or obstructions. Clean the wheel axles and bearings if necessary. Ensure the wheels are not overtightened if they are adjustable.
