Step 2. Kneel Down on the Left Hand Side of your Electric Scooter
- Find the small red knob near the front tire + bottom of the tiller. On the Apex Electric Scooter this knob is black. You will also see a long red lever at the base of the tiller. On support bar that keeps the tiller connected to the deckboard of the electric scooter.
Step 3. Pull Red Knob, then pull Red Lever.
- This is the most important step. Pull the knob then the red lever. Watch your head/shoulder as when the folding mechanism releases the tiller will begin to collapse towards the rear wheel of your electric scooter.
Step 4. Lock the Hook into the Fender Latch and Lift!
- You will here an audible click when the hook has locked into the fender latch. This securely keeps your electric scooter in the folded position for easier storage and carrying convenience.
