How to replace scooter wheels

1. Using the Allen Keys provided in the box with your Scooter undo the axle through the wheel. (If you have difficulty with this please refer to the "Dealing with immovable bolts" on our maintenance page)
2. If the wheel does not come with bearings either insert new bearings or replace with the bearings from the old wheel. (see below)
3. If your model has spacers or washers make sure they are in place before replacing the wheel.
4. Place the Allen Key bolt through the base, wheel and spacers if applicable and tighten.
