Riders can adjust the tightness of the skateboard truck to their
preference. The tightness of the truck determines how easy the scooter
turns and how stable the ride feels. If the scooter feels unstable for the
rider, it is recommended to check the rear wheels bracket. It can be
adjusted by tightening the nut to increase stability. If the scooter feels
too rigid and difcult to turn, slightly loosening the nut will improve the
scooter reactivity.
NOTE : The nut may become loose overtime, which may cause
instability. Please check and adjust periodically.
