Aligning the handlebars

It is best to take the front tire between your feet and carefully turn the handlebars to the desired position until the front wheel and handlebars are aligned again.

Tighten the clamp again

Finally, tighten the clamp again so that the handlebars are securely fixed.

When tightening, make sure that both bolts are tightened cleanly and evenly so that the handlebars are secure.

Check the result

After alignment, check that the handlebars and front wheel are straight again. Also check that the clamp is tight and that the handlebars cannot be twisted.

After the repair, test your VMAX e-scooter carefully when stationary or on a short route before using it normally again in everyday life.
