Aligning the handlebars when leaning

Mar 18, 2026

Tools required

Before starting, make sure that your VMAX e-scooter is switched off. Work on a stable surface and have all tools ready to hand.

Release the clamping device of your handlebar by loosening the two screws with a 5 mm Allen key.

The clamp is located in the lower section of the handlebar.

Loosen the second screw completely so that the handlebars can move freely.

It is best to hold the front tire between your feet and adjust the handlebars to the desired position.

Make sure that the handlebars and front wheel are exactly straight in relation to each other.

Then tighten both bolts of the clamping device again.

Tighten the bolts evenly so that the clamp sits properly.

When tightening, make sure that the bolts are evenly tightened and that the handlebars do not slip again.

Check that the handlebars are straight and can no longer be twisted. Also check that the clamp is tight and that there is no play.

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

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

Why are my handlebars moving at all?

Vibrations or heavy loads can easily cause the clamp to loosen. A quick readjustment usually solves the problem quickly.

How tight do I need to tighten the screws?

The bolts should be tight, but not overtightened. Tighten them evenly until the handlebars are stable and no longer move.

What should I do if the handlebars still twist again?

Check the bolts again. If the problem persists, the clamping or the handlebars should be checked more closely.
