Using this scooter is easy. Just step on the deck, hold the bars firmly with the soft grips, and start pushing off with your foot. When you want to stop, use the Nylon brake system. Make sure to wear proper safety gear like helmets and knee pads when riding. As for maintenance, regularly check the bolts on the two - bolt alloy clamp to ensure they are tight. If the headset compression system seems loose, replace it as it's easy to do. Also, keep an eye on the 110mm wheels. If they start to show excessive wear, consider replacing them. Store the scooter in a dry place to prevent rusting of the steel parts.
