Brake Tension Continued- Increasing tension in the brake lines will eliminate this issue. The
right-hand brake controls the front brake. The left-hand brake controls the back brakes. Tighten
the adjustment nut on the effected handle to eliminate the issue.
3. Tire Pressure
Visually inspect the tires on all three wheels to make sure they all have ample tire pressure. If the
scooter has a tire that appears to be low, adding air to the tire will be required. Inspect the tire is
between 30-35 PSI daily.
A tire with ample pressure will appear like the one to the
right. Checking the exact PSI (pounds per square inch) with a
gauge is recommend monthly, opposed to daily.
A tire with a loss of tire pressure will appear like the one
photo to the left. If the tire appears to of lost pressure,
testing the PSI (pounds per square inch), and adding air to the
tire will be necessary.
When the PSI (pounds per square inch) is less than 15 pounds,
and air is added to the tire, it is recommended to avoid use for 24 hours. Check the pressure 24 hours
after it was added, to make sure the tire does not have a leak. If the tire does have a slow leak, spraying
soapy water on the tire can help locate the area where the air is leaking from. If there is a hole on the
tire from a puncture, a "tubeless tire repair kit" can be used to repair the hole in the tire. EWheels
directly does not sell "tubeless tire repair kits", but they can be obtained at local stores or online.
