Xootr Scooter Quick Manual - page 2
Riding
Hold onto the handlebar with both hands.
Place one foot in the center of the deck.
Push off the ground with the other foot.
Glide.
For most efficient riding,
Take long push strokes, with substantial glide between each stroke.
Switch legs every 10-20 strokes.
When gliding down an incline (avoid steep hills), you may either put one foot in
front of the other or put both feet side by side.
Stopping
Your scooter has a lever-actuated brake. When you use this brake, shift your weight
towards the rear of the scooter to avoid being pitched forward.
The rear wheel of your Xootr is left exposed to enable you to brake with your foot
directly on the rear tire. Most shoes work well for this. However, some types of
shoes have soles that wear out very quickly when used to brake on the tire. You
should test your shoes for excessive wear before using them extensively for braking.
Avoid steep hills. Very hard braking on a steep hill could lead to excessive heating of
the brake pad and premature tire wear.
DO NOT SKID! Skidding will cause a flat spot in the tire of your scooter.
WARNINGS:
Braking performance is substantially impaired in wet weather. Do not ride when
the road surface is wet.
A worn-out brake pad can result in a lack of braking function. A lack of braking
could cause you to loose control or fall. Falls can result in serious injury or even
death. Check the brake for proper function before each ride.
Maintenance
A damp cloth may be used to clean the scooter. Avoid using aggressive cleaning
solutions or solvents.
Tire life depends on riding conditions and riding style. Most users will never wear
out a tire. However, if you ride thousands of kilometers or do lots of hard braking,
you may wear out a tire and have to replace one or both wheels. Wheel replacement
kits are available at www.xootr.com.
The end of the brake lever should not hit the handlebar, even when pulling as hard as
possible. As the cable stretches and the brake pad wears, adjust the cable length by
rotating the “barrel adjuster” on the brake lever (the aluminum piece between the end
of the black cable housing and the brake lever).
Eventually, a brake pad can wear out. If when pulling on the brake lever, the brake
pad does not firmly engage the tire, the brake pad must be replaced. Replacement
service is available via www.xootr.com.
Collisions
Your Xootr scooter is designed to withstand years of normal riding. However,
collisions can substantially weaken the structure of the scooter. If you accidentally
have a minor collision with a curb, wall, or other fixed object, inspect the scooter for
loose or bent parts. If you find such parts, contact your dealer or Xootr for repair or
replacement. If you collide with a fixed object at speeds in excess of 10 mph (16
kph) and/or are thrown from the scooter after a collision, you could severely damage
the structure of the scooter. In such cases, please contact Xootr LLC for repair or
replacement.
