Instructions
Understanding the problem
Similar to a bicycle, you can also adjust the alignment between the handlebars and front wheel of the VMAX e-scooter yourself if necessary.
If the handlebars are crooked although the wheel is straight, this can be caused by slight twisting.
Loosen the clamping screws
Loosen the two clamping screws on the front wheel using a 5 mm Allen key.
Loosen the second clamping screw
Also loosen the second clamping screw so that the handlebars can be freely aligned.
Aligning the handlebars
Hold the front wheel between your legs and straighten the handlebars.
Make sure that the handlebars and wheel are exactly in line.
Tighten the bolts again
Then tighten both bolts alternately so that the handlebars are evenly fixed.
Check the result
After adjustment, check that the handlebars are straight and that the front wheel moves smoothly in the direction of travel. Also check that the clamping screws are tight.
Frequently asked questions
Here you will find answers to frequently asked questions about this repair.
Why does the handlebar move at all?
