Q 3. My scooter can run but it behaves weirdly
Q 3.1 There are some clicking sounds coming from the front wheel. What should I do?
You can put the folded scooter on a chair. Visually check the front wheel and use your hand to rotate the wheel
Q 3.1.1 Does the wheel touch the front fender?
Ans 3.1.1.1 Yes. The front wheel is scratching the front fender while rotating
Adjust the fender position by untightening/tightening the fender holding screws.
Check if the suspensions are bent. If yes, get the replacement parts from our website and swap out by following this video.
Ans 3.1.1.2 No. The sound is there even if I remove the fender completely.
Check if the bearing of the front wheel is still intact. If it is damaged, you can buy a front wheel replacement and install it by following this video.
Q 3.2 How can I reduce the back-and-forth "play" of the vertical stem which has developed over time?
There is a nut at the end of the securing latch which you can access from the bottom of the folding. Tighten it so there is no "play" of the handlebars.
It is a continuous adjustment. You will be able to find a sweet spot to prevent it from shaking and still not too tight to fold.
It is our patented design.
Q 3.3 As I pull the throttle trigger, the scooter runs but then the rear wheel stutters or stops. What should I do?
Check the motor to see if it's connected or function properly. It is likely the Hall sensor is malfunctioned.
If you have the motor/rear wheel replacement part, you can replace it by following these instructions (PDF).
Please fill out the Service Form if you would like further asssistance.
Q 3.4 I heard some grinding sounds from the rear wheel. What can be the reason?
Please check to see if the brake plate is intact by following this video instructions.
If the brake shoe is broken, get the spare parts and replace it.
Q 4. My scooter does not charge or has charging issues.
A charging issue could be due to the battery, the charger or the connection between those two such as the charging port and wires.
Adjust the plugs, make sure all the connections are secure in place.
Does the charger LED lit up when it is plugged in to the scooter and the wall?
No
You may need a new charger.
Yes.
Is there any loose connector?
Visually check the charging port and connectors. Replace it if any is damaged.
Does it solve the charging issue?
Yes.
Great. If it is a battery issue, it would cost a lot.
No.
Is it a M scooter?
Yes
Check the battery fuses by following these instructions.
Buy the fuses on the website and replace the "charge" fuse if needed.
If it doesn't solve the issue, please fill out the Service Form for more assistance. Most likely a battery replacement is needed.
No
Please fill out the Service Form. Most likely a battery replacement is needed. You can also change the battery yourself by following these instructions (PDF).
Q 5. The position pin that holds T-bar in place fell off.
You can get the replacement parts on our website.
Check out and follow the instructions (PDF) here to install the parts.
You can also fill out the Service Form and send the scooter back for tune up/ repair (additional costs apply)
A friendly reminder:
Please make sure to tighten the hand-adjustable nut on top of the stem before riding.
Some of our customers tend to skip that for convenience. As a result, the stress of all the bumping of the rider’s upper body falls on the position pin, which is designed to hold the position not to hold weight, and It would cause the pin/spring to break over time.
Q 6. The Battery Indicator on the dash does not show the correct battery level. What should I do?
This might happen after you store the scooter for a long period of time.
To recalibrate the dash unit is very simple.
Just ride the scooter until it automatically shuts off and charge the scooter for 5-6 straight hours (or to ensure full charge).
By doing so, you re-calibrate the BMS about the 0-100% of the battery capacity and it should give you 5 bars afterward.
Q 7. Where can I find the instructions to do basic replacements of parts?
You can find a huge library of videos showing how to perform basic maintenance, adjustments, replacements, repairs on the tech section of our youtube channel.
