Troubleshooting Accessory Issues on Your Scooter: Folding Handlebars, Tow Handles, and More

Adding accessories to your scooter can enhance functionality and style, but certain attachments may interfere with folding handlebars or create rattling issues. Here’s a guide on how to prevent or manage common accessory-related problems.

Handlebar Not Folding Due to Accessories

• Accessories such as handlebar grips or thumb throttles can sometimes prevent handlebars from folding fully.

• Check that the voltmeter or ignition system isn’t blocking the handlebar slider. If the slider bumps into the voltmeter, the handlebar cannot collapse.

• Measure free handlebar space before adding accessories to ensure they won’t obstruct folding.

• If there isn’t enough space, you may need to sacrifice foldability for your accessories. Some attachments simply take up too much room to allow full slider movement.

Tow Handle or Storage Case Rattling

• Newly released accessories may rattle due to minor fitment issues.

• Maneuver the accessory to achieve the best fit possible.

• Some users have successfully reduced rattling by:

  • Adding modifications around the tow handle screw area to make it sit more flush.

  • Using floating washers under the tow handle and flat washers on top to minimize play or flex.

• Currently, no pre-made spacers are available for this issue.

• Customers preferring a return can contact support for assistance.

• These accessories are not compatible with each other. Only one can be installed at a time.

Key Takeaways

• Always check space and clearance before adding accessories.

• Minor modifications or washers can sometimes resolve rattling issues.

• Some limitations, like folding handlebar interference or incompatible accessories, are unavoidable.

Following these guidelines will help you minimize accessory issues and ensure your scooter remains functional and safe while accommodating your preferred attachments.
