Re-Activating LED Wheels

How Our LED Wheels Work

Our LED wheels are powered by kinetic energy rather than batteries and will light up when the wheels are rotated. This means your scooter will be glowing for longer!

If the LED wheels are not working as they should, there are a few things you can do to try and resolve this. Please see the steps below to help activate the LED lights on your scooter.

Method 1 – Tighten the wheel bolt

If the bearing on the wheel is not tight enough around the LED mechanism located in the centre of the wheel, the lights will not work.

The most common cause for the lights not working is due to the bolt not being tight enough. 

Tighten the bolt on the wheel and the spin the wheel to test if this has worked.

Please note, the front left wheel bolt (if standing on the scooter) tightens by turning anti-clockwise. All other bolts tighten by turning clockwise.

Method 2 – Push the bearings in

If the LED lights are not engaged by tightening the bolt, you would next need to remove the wheel in question.

Once removed, push the bearings on either side of the wheel as far as possible into the centre of the wheel.

Try to make them as flush as possible with the wheel.

Reattach the wheel and test.

 

Method 3 – Remove Bearings

The final method is to remove the wheel from the scooter and also remove the bearings from the wheel. To help remove the bearing from the wheel use one of the Allen keys provided or something similar to leaver out the bearing. Please see the steps below to show you how to do this.

Step 1

Place the Allen key in the centre of the wheel and under the top bearing.

Step 2

Push down on the top of the Allen key to ease the bearing out.

Step 3

To help remove this, try pushing down on the allen key on different parts of the bearing to ease out each section of the bearing.

For example you could start with the Allen key under the left part of the bearing and then rotate your way round, pushing down on the Allen key until it comes out.

Step 4

Turn the wheel around and repeat for the second bearing. Once the bearings have been removed put them back into place.

Please try to ensure that these are not put in at an angle and that they are parallel with the LED mechanism (white central part found in the center of the wheel between the two bearings).

Step 5

Push the bearings in as far as possible into the wheel, until they are almost flush with the wheel.

Step 6

Finally put the wheel back onto the scooter and test to see if the LED lights work.
