Using the Grit Elite Xm scooter is easy. Just stand on the deck, hold the bars firmly, and push off with one foot to start moving. When you want to stop, use the nylon brake. Make sure to wear proper safety gear like a helmet and knee pads. For maintenance, regularly check the wheels and bearings. If they seem rough or slow, you can clean or replace the bearings. Keep the brake in good condition by checking its tightness. Also, look out for any cracks or damage on the deck, bars, and fork. If you find any issues, get them fixed right away.
