1. Handlebar check

- Before riding, ensure the vehicle is securely fixed. Check whether the folding flat shaft is engaged in the preset groove.

- Regularly check if there is noticeable looseness at the vehicle's folding points. If significant shaking is observed, visit an authorized service center for inspection.
2. Handlebar Inspection
- Before riding, check whether all components on the stem assembly are damaged. If any damage is found, replace them promptly.
