The limit ring on your electric scooter is an essential part of the handlebar folding mechanism, this part of the scooter keeps it from folding while you are riding and securely locks the handlebar in place.

Here are the Limit Ring replacement steps: 

1. Use the appropriate hex key to unscrew the screw from the old limit ring 
2. Remove the screw from the old limit ring and put it to the side, you may need it later 
3. Carefully remove the limit ring from the scooter 
4. Put the new limit ring on the scooter. You may feel resistance from the ring, so apply the necessary pressure to securely get it on

6. Double-check that the ring is on securely and get back to riding!

• Step 2 Slide the grip off of the handlebar. 
• Step 3 Position the new fixed grip so that the key on the inside opening aligns with the groove on the handlebars and slide the grip all the way on.  
• Step 5 place your hands on the grip as if you were riding the scooter, and test to see if the grip is on securely. 

Replacing the grip on your electric scooter is a 2-minute process, be sure to double-check that everything is screwed on correctly, and fasten tightly before riding the scooter.
