1.
Carefully remove the scooter and all accessories from the box.
2.
Lift the scooter onto the box as shown in photo A. This will make all sides of the scooter accessible and
easier to work on.

may need to twist the mast to work it all the way into the
frame.
4.
Make sure the seat is facing forward, then tighten
the binder bolt shown in photo C using the included hex

(750 scooter only)
Release the front brake by pulling back the rubber boot,
squeezing the brake arms together, then removing the “noodle” from its
holder (Photo D). This will allow you to install the front wheel. You will need to
reattach the brake by reversing this step once the front wheel is installed.
6.
Remove the plastic dropout protector from the fork, then
install the front
wheel. Make sure the two “safety washers” hook into the holes in the
end of the fork (photo E), then tighten the axle nuts completely with the
supplied 15mm wrench. Close the front brake by reversing step 5 (Photo D)
(750 scooter only).
7.
Remove the protective caps from the stem and head tube
(photos F &
G). Be careful not to discard the rubber ring headset seal shown in photo G.

8.
Unlock the handlebar post hinge as shown in photos H & I, then
fold the hinge open (Photo J). The hinge may initially be stiff and
difficult to fold, but after a few folds it will loosen and be much easier to
use.
9.
Insert the stem completely into the scooter’s head tube (past
the minimum insertion line marked on the stem).
Align the handlebar
post to be in-line with the front wheel, then tighten the stem
binder bolt (inside the hinge) with the provided 13mm wrench (Photo
K).
It is vital to your safety that this bolt is tightened securely!
Failure to fully tighten the bolt could cause the wheel to turn away
from the handlebars, causing a crash.
To prevent tangling, all cables and wires should run up the scooter’s left
side, as shown in photo K.
10.
Raise the handlebar post (Photo L), then close the hinge quick
release lever by reversing step 8. If the quick-release lever feels loose
or is not secure, its preload may need to be adjusted by tightening the
10mm preload-adjusting nut shown in photo K.
12.
Remove any remaining packaging material. Place the scooter on
the ground and
verify that the handlebars are aligned properly
with the front wheel. Shake the handlebars to make sure there is
no play in the assembly; if the scooter’s front end rattles or does not
feel secure, you may not have completely tightened the steering column
hinge or the wedge bolt. Additionally,
check that the front wheel nuts
are securely tightened using the supplied 15mm open-end wrench.
Before riding your scooter for the first time, make sure the brake is
functioning properly, and check the tightness of all nuts and bolts.
!
Careful! When lifting your scooter onto the box, use care not to hurt yourself;
ask a friend for assistance if needed. Be sure the scooter is stable on the
box before beginning work, as it could cause damage or injury if it falls.
The instructions in this guide can also be completed with the scooter on the
ground with some small changes to the described procedures.
