Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Scooter
- Turn Off the Scooter: Make sure the scooter is turned off to avoid any accidents.
- Remove the Battery: If your scooter has a removable battery, take it out for safety.
- Elevate the Scooter: Use a stand or other support to elevate the scooter for easier access to the wheels.
Step 2: Remove the Wheel
