You should also consult your owners manual as certain things such as fuel mixture or tire pressure may vary from scooter to scooter. If the information presented here contradicts your owner manual, then you should trust the manufacture and abide by their specs.

• TIRES:
  Make sure the tires are inflated properly. Small tires loose air pressure quickly and must be aired frequently. Most small tires can accept air pressure to 85 psi.This allows the tire to properly contact the surface and keeps the tube from rotating inside the tire during braking and acceleration.

  If the tube rotates, the valve stem will possibly be cut or torn from the inner tube. This will require replacement of the inner tube.

• BATTERY:
  Charge the battery. Batteries should be charged frequently, especially after prolonged usage that runs the battery down.Allow the batteries to cool for an hour or more before charging. Heat will damage batteries and it is helpful to keep batteries as cool as possible during use or charging.

• DRIVE BELT:
  Keep the right tension on your drive belt (or chain) during use. A loose drive belt will allow the teeth to slip and wear at an excessive rate.Failure of the belt will occur due to slippage or the heat generated due to improper tension. The belt can be adjusted by moving the rear tire forward or aft.

  Check your specification, but look for approximately one-half to one-quarter inch gap when pressing against the middle of the span. It is important to prevent slippage.

  When you change a belt due to wear be sure to center it so that it does not ride against the side of the belt hubs on the motor or rear tire.If it is not centered properly it will cause the belt to try to jump up on the edge of the hub and cause a tear in the edge of the belt which will eventually cause the belt to completely separate. Most dealers have a very limited replacement warranty for belts due to improper installation and replacement. Please check your belt often after replacement to insure it is properly installed and centered on the drive hubs.

• THROTTLE AND BRAKE:
  Lightly oil throttle and brake linkages to prevent binding.Check nuts and bolts to insure they are tight and cannot come loose. Wipe down the chrome pieces to prevent rust.

• PREVENTION:
  Do not ride electric scooters through water or mud, or even on wet grass since water can cause failure of the electrical components! Electric scooters are meant to be ridden on dry hard surfaces.
