Your scooter has solid tyres all round. They do not require inflation.

It is good practice to inspect the tyres for damage or wear, regularly.

Routine use of emergency braking will cause damage to your scooter.

Freewheel mechanism

Caution!

Transporting the scooter along a slope in freewheel mode can be dangerous. Take extra care if this is necessary. Always re-engage the freewheel device after use.
