Tires

For the proper functioning of the scooter it is very important that the tires are kept at the
correct pressure.
Soft tires yield less than optimal driving for the scooter. It also costs more energy to
move the scooter forward, putting a heavier load on the batteries. Moreover, tire wear
when driving on soft tires is unnecessarily great.
For the right tire tension, see 'Product specifications'.
Note when filling the tires that the pressure may never exceed the
maximum specified value provided in the table 'technical data', or
as indicated on the sticker on the wheel concerned.
In case of doubt contact the dealer / supplier.
For inspection of the tires, see 'maintenance table'.
6.2.1

Adding air to the tires

The tires are equipped with car valves and can be inflated with a proper pump. A foot
pump may be used, or you can have the tires inflated at your local gas station.
After adding air to the tire, always make sure to replace the cap
back on the valve, to avoid dirt and sand entering the valve.
