🔩 Stem Bolt Information & Installation Guide
There are four stem bolts — two on each side of your scooter’s steerer tube — which securely hold the stem and, in turn, the handlebar in place. These bolts must be correctly installed for safe riding.
🧴 Thread-lock / Patch-lock Application
If the stem bolts are removed and refitted, a small amount of medium-strength Thread-lock or Patch-lock must be applied everytime.
✅ Recommended Products:
Loctite 243 (Thread-lock)
Loctite 248 (Patch-lock)
The new stem bolts supplied with your scooter already have this applied, as well as replacement bolts which are available by contacting our Customer Service team.
🔧 Fitting the Stem Bolts
They should be tightened to 2mm, which is effectively hand-tight, using:
a 3mm Hex Key (included with your new purchase), or
a Hex Drive
🔄 Tightening Sequence
Tighten the bolts in a cross-pattern to ensure equal torque on both sides. For example, if looking at the steerer tube tighten the bolts in the following order:
🔧 Top Left
🔧 Bottom Right
🔧 Bottom Left
🔧 Top Right
This helps keep the stem aligned and secure.
