      Shouldn’t need to oil any areas - all we suggest is ensure to keep all nuts and bolts tight by checking once every other week or so. Apart from that, all that will need servicing is tyres and brake pads :)

      Most likely a bad connection. Not sure what you're riding, but often the connection from the motor to your controller is not snug. This happened on my go trax scooter. I pulled the back wheel off, coated with a little contact cleaner and plugged it back in. I wrapped the connection with electrical tape, no issues!

    • @HellGod67
      @HellGod67 3 года назад

      The slime glues the tire tube to the shield so if you'll want changing the tire after damaging it you'll have to take it off with the tube. Quite invasive to be doing this by default. But the loctite on stem bolts should be a must in all brands.

    • @sarahmckenzie7953

      Slime can work on existing punctures depending on the size of the puncture (I’ve used it on an e bike puncture and it worked as it should). It can actually work for up to two years on an existing puncture. Also, after you’ve put the slime into the tyre, you shouldn’t use the motor to spin the wheel as centrifugal force will keep the slime in the same spot and not distribute it evenly around the tyre. Best way is to spin the tyre by hand for a minute or two and then go for a ride for a couple of minutes. This distributes the slime far better.
