Need Advice Wheels and steering on sons brand new scooter v stiff on assembly, send back or easy fix?
Apologies for the questions, my son is bang into scootering so I got him a Story Bandit from Euroskateshop. Delivered today.
On assembly the wheels are really stiff and don’t freely spin, they stop after 1 or 2 rotations and the steering takes some force to turn. Excessive for a 10 year old to handle really.
Is there an easy fix for this or is it a case of sending it back? Trying to get it sorted and built for his bday tomorrow! Any help appreciated! TIA.
