PART 2 - BEFORE YOU RIDE

ABOUT THIS MANUAL

It is important for you to understand your new scooter. By reading this manual before you go out on your first ride, you’ll know how to get better performance, comfort, and enjoyment from your new scooter.

It is also important that your first ride on your new scooter is taken in a controlled environment, away from cars, obstacles, and other cyclists.

GENERAL WARNING

Scooter riding can be a hazardous activity even under the best of circumstances. Proper maintenance of your scooter is your responsibility as it helps reduce the risk of injury. This manual contains many “Warnings” and “Cautions” concerning the consequences of failure to maintain or inspect your scooter. Many of the warnings and cautions say “you may lose control and fall.” Because any fall can result in serious injury or even death, we do not repeat the warning of possible injury or death whenever the risk of falling is mentioned.

A SPECIAL NOTE FOR PARENTS

It is a tragic fact that most scooter accidents involve children. As a parent or guardian, you bear the responsibility for the activities and safety of your minor child. Among these responsibilities are to make sure that the scooter which your child is riding is properly fitted to the child; that it is in good repair and safe operating condition; that you and your child have learned, understand and obey not only the applicable local motor vehicle, scooter, and traffic laws, but also the common sense rules of safe and responsible scooter riding. As a parent, you should read this manual before letting your child ride the scooter. Please make sure that your child always wears an approved bicycle helmet when riding.

Age/Weight Range

Age

6 years to adult

Weight

Up to 200 lbs.

Handlebar Height

Maximum comfort is usually obtained when the handlebar height is equal to the height of the seat. You may wish to try different heights to find the most comfortable position.

Stem Wedge Bolt

Maximum Height/ Minimum Insertion Mark

Handlebar Binder Bolt

Exceeds 2 1/2” (64mm)

Threadless headsets and clamp-on stems are not adjustable. Please refer to page 14 for instructions on installation.

The stem’s “Minimum Insertion” mark must not be visible above the top of the headset. If the stem is extended beyond this mark, the stem may break or damage the fork’s steerer tube, which could cause you to lose control and fall.

Failure to properly tighten the stem binder bolt, the handlebar binder bolt, or the bar end extension clamping bolts may compromise steering action, which could cause you to lose control and fall. Place the front wheel of the scooter between your legs and attempt to twist the handlebar/stem assembly using a reasonable amount of force. If you can twist the stem in relation to the front wheel, turn the handlebars in relation to the stem, or turn the bar end extensions in relation to the handlebar, you must tighten the appropriate bolts accordingly.

SAFETY CHECKLIST

Before every ride, it is important to carry out the following safety checks:

1. Brakes

- Ensure front and rear brakes work properly.

- Ensure brake shoe pads are not over worn and are correctly positioned in relation to the rims.

- Ensure brake control cables are lubricated, correctly adjusted and display no obvious wear.

- Ensure brake control levers are lubricated and tightly secured to the handlebar.

2. Wheels and Tires

- Ensure tires are inflated to within the recommended limit as displayed on the tire sidewall.

- Ensure tires have tread and have no bulges or excessive wear.

- Ensure rims run true and have no obvious wobbles or kinks.

- Ensure all wheel spokes are tight and not broken.

- Check that axle nuts are tight. If your scooter is fitted with quick release axles, make sure locking levers are correctly tensioned and in the closed position.

3. Steering

- Ensure handlebar and stem are correctly adjusted and tightened, and allow proper steering.

- Ensure that the handlebars are set correctly in relation to the forks and the direction of travel.

- Check that the headset locking mechanism is properly adjusted and tightened.

- If the scooter is fitted with handlebar end extensions, ensure they are properly positioned and tightened.

4. Bearings

- Ensure all bearings are lubricated, run freely and display no excess movement, grinding or rattling.

- Check headset, wheel bearings, pedal bearings and bottom bracket bearings.

Helmets

It is strongly advised that a properly fitting, ANSI or SNELL approved, bicycle safety helmet be worn at all times when riding your scooter.

The correct helmet should:

- be comfortable

- be lightweight

- have good ventilation

- fit correctly

- cover forehead

Always wear a properly fitted helmet which covers the forehead when riding a scooter. Many states require specific safety devices. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the laws of the state where you ride and to comply with all applicable laws, including properly equipping yourself and your scooter as the law requires. Reflectors are important safety devices which are designed as an integral part of your scooter.

FRONT REFLECTOR ASSEMBLY

Locate front reflector brackets and screws in the parts box.

Assemble clear front reflector to lower fork crown using (2) screws provided. Face reflector forward and tighten (2) screws securely. Reflector bracket should be +/- 3 degrees from vertical (90 degrees).

RIDING SAFELY

Scooters are intended for sidewalk riding, and should not be ridden in streets, parking lots or anywhere that motor vehicles are present. Please consult your local traffic laws for more information. These safety guidelines are included for your re

ference.

General Rules

When riding obey the same road laws as all other road vehicles, including giving way to pedestrians, and stopping at red lights and stop signs.

For further information, contact the Road Traffic Authority in your State.

Ride predictably and in a straight line. Never ride against traffic.

Ride defensively. To other road users, you may be hard to see.

Concentrate on the path ahead. Avoid pot holes, gravel, wet road markings, oil, curbs, speed bumps, drain grates and other obstacles.

Cross train tracks at a 90 degree angle or walk your scooter across.

Expect the unexpected such as opening car doors or cars backing out of concealed driveways.

Be extra careful at intersections and when preparing to pass other vehicles.

Familiarize yourself with all the scooter's features. Practice braking.

Don't carry packages or passengers that will interfere with your visibility or control of the scooter. Don't use items that may restrict your hearing.

Do not lock up the brakes.

Maintain a comfortable stopping distance from all other riders, vehicles and objects. Safe braking distances and forces are subject to the prevailing weather conditions.

Wet Weather

IT IS RECOMMENDED TO NOT RIDE IN WET WEATHER

- In wet weather you need to take extra care.

- Brake earlier, you will take a longer distance to stop.

- Decrease your riding speed, avoid sudden braking and take corners with additional caution.

- Be more visible on the road.

- Wear reflective clothing and use safety lights.

- Pot holes and slippery surfaces such as line markings and train tracks all become more hazardous when wet.

Night Riding

- Ensure scooter is equipped with a full set of correctly positioned and clean reflectors.

- Refer to page 6 of this manual.

- Use a properly functioning lighting set comprising of a white front lamp and a red rear lamp.

- If using battery powered lights, make sure batteries are well charged.

- Some rear lights available have a flashing mechanism which enhances visibility.

- Wear reflective and light colored clothing.

- Ride at night only if necessary. Slow down and use familiar roads with street lighting, if possible.

IT IS RECOMMENDED TO NOT RIDE AT NIGHT

Avoid streets and surfaces with water, sand, gravel, dirt, leaves, and other debris. Wet weather impairs traction,braking, and visibility.

Do not ride at night.

Brake will get hot from continuous use. Do not touch after braking.

Avoid excessive speed associated with downhill rides.

Adults must assist children in the initial adjustment procedures to unfold scooter, adjust handlebar and steering to height, and finally to fold scooter.

Obey all local traffic and scooter riding laws and regulations.

Watch out for pedestrians.

Check and secure all fasteners before every ride.

Replace worn or broken parts immediately.

SCOOTER CARE

Security

It is advisable that the following steps be taken to prepare for and help prevent possible theft.

1. Maintain a record of the scooter’s serial number, located on the bottom of the frame behind the kickstand.

2. Register the scooter with the local police.

3. Invest in a high quality scooter lock that will resist hack saws and bolt cutters. Always lock your scooter to an immovable object if it is left unattended.

Cornering Technique

Brake slightly before cornering and prepare to lean your body into the corner.

Please refer to pages 47-48 for braking techniques

Rules for Children

To avoid accidents, teach children good riding skills with an emphasis on safety from an early age. Children should be supervised by an adult.

1. Always wear a properly fitted helmet.

2. Do not play in driveways or the road.

3. Do not ride on busy streets.

4. Do not ride at night.

5. Obey all the traffic laws, especially stop signs and red lights.

6. Be aware of other road vehicles behind and nearby.

7. Before entering a street: Stop, look right, left, and right again for traffic. If there's no traffic, proceed into the roadway.

8. If riding downhill, be extra careful. Slow down using the brakes and maintain control of the steering.

9. Never take your hands off the handlebars

The Consumer Protection Safety Commission advises that the riding of small wheel diameter scooters at excessive speeds can lead to instability and is not recommended.

Children should be made aware of all possible riding hazards and correct riding behavior before they take to the streets.

- Do not leave it up to trial and error.

Always wear safety equipment such as helmet, knee pads and elbow pads. Always wear a helmet when riding your scooter and keep the chinstrap securely buckled. Always wear shoes.

Ride on smooth, paved surfaces away from motor vehicles.

Avoid sharp bumps, drainage grates, and sudden surface changes. Scooter may suddenly stop.

Stingray Scooter Fork Assembly

Step #1

Insert one fork leg through the lower crown, and slide it up until it contacts the bolt in the upper crown. Push the leg up to remove the red stop sign decal from the fork leg. Using a 5mm hex (Allen) wrench align the upper crown bolt with the fork leg, and tighten upper crown bolt completely into the fork leg. Repeat for other fork leg.

PART 3 - ASSEMBLY

Basic Maintenance

The following procedures will help you maintain your scooter for years of enjoyable riding.

For painted frames, dust the surface and remove any loose dirt with a dry cloth. To clean, wipe with a damp cloth soaked in a mild detergent mixture. Dry with a cloth and polish with car or furniture wax. Use soap and water to clean plastic parts and rubber tires. Chrome plated bikes should be wiped over with a rust preventative fluid.

Store your scooter under shelter. Avoid leaving it in the rain or exposed to corrosive materials. Riding on the beach or in coastal areas exposes your scooter to salt which is very corrosive. Wash your scooter frequently and wipe or spray all unpainted parts with an anti-rust treatment. Make sure wheel rims are dry so braking performance is not affected. After rain, dry your scooter and apply anti-rust treatment.

If the hub and bottom bracket bearings of your scooter have been submerged in water, they should be taken out and re-greased. This will prevent accelerated bearing deterioration.

If paint has become scratched or chipped to the metal, use touch up paint to prevent rust. Clear nail polish can also be used as a preventative measure.

Regularly clean and lubricate all moving parts, tighten components and make adjustments as required. (Refer to Parts 4 and 5 of this manual for further details). The use of alloy components and BED, SATIN and TITANIUM surface treatments minimizes the number of places where rust can surface.

Storage

Keep your scooter in a dry location away from the weather and the sun. Ultraviolet rays may cause paint to fade or rubber and plastic parts to crack. Before storing your scooter for a long period of time, clean and lubricate all components and wax the frame. Deflate the tires to half pressure and hang the scooter off the ground. Don't store near electric motors as ozone emissions may effect the rubber and paint. Don't cover with plastic as "sweating” will result which may cause rusting. Please notice that your scooter warranty does not cover paint damage, rust, corrosion, dry rot or theft.

Step #

Align the two fork legs so that the axle dropouts face forward. Install front wheel, making sure that the step washers seat into the fork dropouts as you tighten the axle nuts. Tighten front axle nuts completely using 15mm wrench.
