Question: The black rubber foot pedal covers on both sides are now about to have a serious truncation, as in they have been bent by having close encounters with doorways and soon they will just bend/pop off. Has anyone posted about these items? I am wanting in general to give the Scoot a serious cosmetic tune-up as well, as one of the velcro straps that holds the batteries in place is threatening to break off, I could use a renewal of the velcro that holds the maroon triangle in place, and dirt has moved into some of the nooks and crannies. What do you and others suggest?
Answer: My scoot is about the same age as yours (3 1/2 years). My black rubber foot pedals are still in good shape, but I imagine you could order replacements by calling TravelScoot.

I also have a velcro strap on the battery that's starting to come loose, and while I haven't yet replaced it, I would think you could buy velcro from a fabric store and replace the strap yourself. I have taken my triangle off and washed it with soap and water in the sink and it looked like new afterwards. My velcro is in good shape, so I haven't looked at replacing it.
I hope others have suggestions for you, or can tell us about their successful cosmetic renovations.

This is not a maintenance question. so I hope it's okay to ask it here. I just got my scooter today. There were two round chrome rings about 2-21/2 inches tall and 1 1/2 inches diameter included with the scooter parts. Where do I put them. because I assembled the scooter without them. Also I didn't know what to tighten with the wrenches that came with the scooter?

ReplyDeleteLynn, congratulations on your new TravelScoot! Those two rings are spacers to allow you to adjust the height of the seat. If you would like your seat to be higher, just put one or both of them on the pole your seat is attached to. The set of Allen wrenches you got with your scoot is something you need to have for future maintenance (like changing the belt or replacing a tire), but there's probably not anything that needs adjusting right now.
