BEFORE YOU BEGIN
CAUTION: WHEELA is delivered with dismantled handlebars part. Follow these simple
instructions to make WHEELA ready for riding:
ASSEMBLY
1. MOUNT the handlebars part onto the top of
the front tube.
2. PUSH the stem firmly down onto the front
tube until it touches the collar.
3. ROTATE the handlebars relative to the front
tube so that the tips of the two white arrows
are aligned.
4. FASTEN the two nuts until the handlebars are
firmly fixed and do not move vertically (use
the wrench included within this manual).
Alternately apply equal amount of revolutions
on both nuts; do not tighten just one of the
nuts.

AFTER ASSEMBLY
Unfolding WHEELA
Unfasten the elastic safety hook-strip, and unfold
Wheela by holding the handlebars with one hand
and lifting the saddle upwards with the other
hand.
Attach the end of the rod to its slot located on the
top of the aft tube.
Securing the rod
In unfolded position, secure the rod with the hook-strip as shown in the picture. This prevents the
rod from unintentionally detaching from its slot.
Fine-tuning WHEELA’s height
WHEELA’s seat height can be slightly adjusted by
rotating the rod. Its default delivery setting is in
the middle of its range. By turning the rod clock-
or anti-clockwise, you can fine-tune the height of
the saddle to your personal preference.

FIRST RIDE
Before riding, always inspect operation of wheels and brake and make sure the rod is attached in its
slot and the safety hook-strip is fastened.
Correct body position
Sit on WHEELA. Your legs should be slightly
bent as shown in the picture.
1. Sit on unfolded scootbike without holding the
handlebars. Find a comfortable position in which
your upper body is slightly tilted backwards.
2. Place your hands gently on the handlebars.
3. Kick back with your feet once, just enough to gain
speed for moving slowly. Without placing your feet
on the support bars, learn how to maintain balance.
This is best done on a slight downward slope.
4. After you are comfortable with your balance,
gradually add speed by kicking. Then place your feet
on the support bars. Slowly and carefully learn how
to make turns.
5. To stop or slow down, use the brake. When braking,
always put your feet down from the support bars.
MAINTENANCE
Wheels and Bearings
Periodically inspect the wheels for wear and tear, and bearings for side-to-side play, and the entire scootbike for loose parts. When a
wheel or wheel bearing develops play, it is an indication of excess wear and replacement is necessary. Replace immediately with only
genuine WHEELA replacement parts. Worn wheels/bearings are considered normal wear and tear and are not covered by the Warranty.
Other manufacturers’ wheels may not be compatible with your scootbike, may affect your safety and using them on Wheela will void
your warranty.
Cleaning your WHEELA
Wipe with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Do not use industrial cleaners or solvents as they may damage the surfaces. Do not use
alcohol, alcohol-based or ammonia-based cleaners as they may damage or dissolve the plastic components or soften the decals or decal
adhesive.

SAFETY WARNINGS
IMPORTANT MESSAGE: This manual contains important
information. For your safety, it is your responsibility to review
this information and make sure that you understand all
warnings, cautions, instructions and safety topics. WHEELA
Europe recommends that you periodically review the
information in this manual with all scootbike riders, and
inspect and maintain your scootbike to insure your safety.
GENERAL WARNING: Scootbike riding can be a
hazardous activity. Scootbikes can and are intended to move,
and it is therefore possible to get into dangerous situations
and/or lose control and/or fall. If such things occur you can be
seriously injured or die. LIKE ANY OTHER MOVING PRODUCT,
USING A SCOOTBIKE CAN BE A DANGEROUS ACTIVITY AND
MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH EVEN WHEN USED WITH
PROPER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND
USE COMMON SENSE.
WARNING: WHEELA recommends maximum rider
weight to not exceed 220 lb. (100 kg) on all WHEELA the
Scootbike models and sizes.
Safety equipment such as helmet (with chinstrap fastened),
knee pads and elbow pads are always recommended
because they may provide protection against the most
common types of impact circumstances.
WHEELA should not be used on any wet surfaces, where the
risk of injury and damage to the product are highly
increased. Weather impairs traction, braking and visibility.
Maximum speed is 15 km/h (9 mph).
WARNING: SAFE RIDING PRACTICES ARE ALWAYS
IMPORTANT
•Always wear safety equipment, such as helmet, knee pads
and elbow pads. Always wear a helmet when riding your
scootbike and keep the chinstrap securely buckled.
•Always wear shoes.
•Ride on smooth surfaces away from motor vehicles.
•WHEELA is not intended for riding on offroad surfaces.
•Avoid sharp bumps, drainage grates and sudden surface
changes. Scootbike may suddenly stop.
•Do not ride at night or in dark areas.
•Brake will get hot from continuous use. Do not touch it
after braking.
•Avoid excessive speed associated with downhill rides.
•Obey all local traffic laws and regulations.
•Watch out for pedestrians.
•Replace worn or broken parts immediately, or contact
WHEELA.
ACCEPTABLE RIDING PRACTICES AND CONDITIONS
Scootbikes are meant to be used only in controlled
environments free of potential traffic hazards and not on
public streets. Do not ride the scootbike in any areas where
vehicle traffic is present. While riding, maintain a hold of the
handlebars at all times. Never allow more than one person at
a time to ride the scootbike. Never use near steps, sloped
driveways, hills, roadways, alleys or swimming pool areas.
Do not ride the scootbike in wet weather. WHEELA functions
best on solid, flat, dry surfaces such as pavement or level
ground without loose debris such as rocks or gravel. Wet,
slick or uneven and rough surfaces may impair traction and
contribute to possible accidents. Do not ride the scootbike
in mud, ice, puddles or water. Never risk damaging surfaces,
such as carpet or flooring, by use of the scootbike indoors.
Do not ride at night or when visibility is impaired.
TRICK AND OFF-ROAD RIDING PRESENTS ADDITIONAL RISKS
TO RIDERS AND EQUIPMENT: WHEELA is not intended for
off-road and trick riding. Ignoring this recommendation will
very likely lead to falls and product damage due to stresses,
impacts or wear. Riders assume all risks associated with
high-stress activities.
•Trick and off-road riding on other vehicles, especially kick-
scooters, requires skill and practice; it is not “automatic”.
Just because you may see people on TV, the internet or in
your neighbourhood doing tricks or stunts, that does not
mean you can do the same on WHEELA without risk.
•Always visually review the terrain before riding, in order to
try to minimize encounters with “unknown” impediments
in your path without time to react or compensate.
PROPER RIDING ATTIRE
Always ensure you are wearing proper protective
equipment, such as an approved safety helmet. A helmet
may be legally required by local law or regulation in your
area. Always wear shoes and keep shoelaces tied and out of
the way of the wheels. Never ride barefoot or in sandals.
FAILURE TO USE COMMON SENSE AND HEED THE ABOVE
WARNINGS FURTHER INCREASES RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND WITH APPROPRIATE AND
SERIOUS ATTENTION TO SAFE OPERATION. USE CAUTION.
WARNING: ALWAYS INSPECT SCOOTBIKE PRIOR TO
RIDING. Properly inspecting and maintaining your WHEELA
can reduce the risk of injury or scootbike damage.
WARNING: CHECK LOCAL LAWS REGARDING SCOOTBIKE
USE. Check local laws and regulations to see where and how
you may use your WHEELA scootbike legally. In many states
and local areas scootbike riders are required BY LAW to
wear a helmet, or high-visibility vest or strips. Check local
laws and regulations regarding laws governing helmet use
and scootbike operation in your area.
