You will find a clamp screw on the underside of the handlebar. Loosen this to remove the controls or the turn signal from the handlebar.

Install new components and insulate connections

Before attaching new components, prepare the heat shrink tubing if necessary and slide it over the connectors.

Then, reattach all components to the handlebar and insulate the connectors with heat shrink tubing or electrical tape.

6

Reattach the handlebar and cover

Now reattach the handlebar under the steering head and remount the cover of the front light as well as the light itself.

When reassembling, ensure that all screws are properly seated and no cables are pinched or damaged.

Check the result

After reassembly, check if all controls are properly seated and the turn signals are functioning correctly. Pay special attention to the secure routing of cables, the connectors, and the tight fit at the handlebar.

Test your VMAX e-scooter carefully at first while stationary or on a short distance before returning to normal everyday use.
