Instructions

Check the folding mechanism

If your folding mechanism is very stiff or has some play, you can make the fine adjustment yourself.

The adjustment is made using the hook at the end of the handlebar.

2

Loosen the large screw

Then adjust the angle of the hook using the small grub screw.

If you turn the grub screw in further, you will adjust the folding mechanism more tightly. When you loosen the grub screw, it becomes looser.

4

Tighten the large screw again

Then tighten the large screw again.

When reassembling, make sure that all screws are correctly seated and that no cables are trapped or damaged.

Check the result

After adjustment, check that the folding mechanism closes properly, no longer has any unnecessary play and can still be operated easily. In particular, check that the mechanism is firmly seated and securely locked.

After adjustment, test your VMAX e-scooter carefully when stationary or over a short distance before using it normally in everyday life.

Frequently asked questions

Here you will find answers to frequently asked questions about this repair.

How can I tell if the folding mechanism needs adjusting?

Typical signs are play in the mechanism or very stiff opening and closing. It is then worth making a fine adjustment using the hook on the handlebar.

What happens if I screw the grub screw in further?

If you turn the grub screw in further, the folding mechanism is adjusted more tightly. If you turn it out, it becomes looser.

What do I do if the mechanism still has play despite the adjustment?

First check the adjustment and the tightness of the screws again. If there is still significant play, a worn component may be the cause and the mechanism should be checked more closely.
