Using your Grit Elite Scooter is easy. Just step onto the deck, hold the handlebars firmly, and you're ready to roll. When starting, push off with one foot to gain momentum. To turn, gently lean in the direction you want to go. For braking, simply use the nylon Grit brake at the back of the scooter. As for maintenance, regularly check the wheels and bearings for any signs of wear. If the wheels seem loose or don't spin smoothly, you may need to tighten the nuts or replace the bearings. Keep the scooter clean by wiping it down after use, especially if you've ridden in wet or dirty conditions. Avoid riding the scooter on rough or uneven surfaces for long periods as it may cause damage to the components. Also, make sure the brake is in good working condition before each ride for your safety.
