The Micro Sprite Deluxe Scooter is an excellent choice for both kids and adults looking for a fun and efficient way to get around. Assembling your scooter may seem daunting at first, but with the right guidance, it can be a straightforward process. This guide will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to assemble the Micro Sprite Deluxe, including the installation of the handlebars and the integrated light battery.

What You Need

Before you get started, make sure you have all the necessary tools and parts at hand. The box should contain everything you need, but you will require a Phillips screwdriver. Here’s a quick list of what you should have:

• Micro Sprite Deluxe scooter (main body)
• Handlebars
• Clamp for handlebars
• 5 mm Allen key
• Two AAA batteries for the light

Once you have all these items ready, you can begin the assembly process.

Assembling the Handlebars

The first step in assembling your Micro Sprite Deluxe Scooter is attaching the handlebars. This is a simple but crucial part of the assembly process. Here’s how to do it:

1. Start by positioning the scooter upright with the main section on a flat surface.
2. Locate the clamp that is already attached to the handle of the scooter. This will hold the handlebars in place.
3. Check the two bolts on the stem of the scooter. These should be pre-tightened, but you can give them a quick check to ensure they are secure.
4. Loosen the two top bolts slightly, as you will need to attach the handlebars to the stem.
5. Take the handlebars and position them so that they tilt back slightly. This angle will provide a more comfortable riding experience.
6. Place the handlebars on top of the stem and ensure that the hatched area of the clamp grips the handlebars in the center.
7. Insert the clamp onto the handlebars, loosely fastening the first bolt, followed by the bottom bolt. Do not tighten them completely yet.

Adjusting Your Riding Position

Once the handlebars are loosely attached, it’s time to adjust them to your preferred riding position:

1. Extend the scooter to your desired height.
2. Stand on the scooter to see where the handlebars feel most comfortable for you.
3. Once you’ve found the right position, begin tightening the bolts. Do this in a sequence: bottom bolt, top bolt, bottom bolt, top bolt. This ensures even pressure on the clamp.
4. Continue this process until you feel resistance and the gaps between the clamp are even.

Installing the Light Battery

With the handlebars securely in place, the next step is to install the batteries for the integrated light on the stem:

1. Locate the battery cover on the light tube. You will need the Phillips screwdriver for this step.
2. Unscrew the grub screw at the bottom of the battery cover. Be careful not to lose it.
3. It’s not necessary to remove the cover completely; it’s held in place by small lugs at the top.
4. Insert the two AAA batteries into the compartment. Ensure that the positive (+) ends of the batteries are facing down towards the spring, while the negative (-) ends are facing up.
5. Once the batteries are in place, push the cover back down and replace the grub screw to secure it.

Final Checks

After assembling the handlebars and installing the batteries, it’s essential to conduct a few final checks:

• Ensure that the handlebars are securely tightened and do not wobble.
• Check that the light functions properly by turning it on.
• Make sure all screws and bolts are tightened to avoid any issues while riding.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully assembled your Micro Sprite Deluxe scooter. With the handlebars securely attached and the light battery installed, you’re ready to enjoy your new mode of transportation. Remember to periodically check the tightness of the bolts and the functionality of the light to ensure a safe ride.
