The bayonet lock of my scooter does not properly latch – the black knob does not
rest against the scooter. What can I do?
When the folding mechanism is not fully retracted, the handle bar needs to be moved so the silver
bolt can fulfil its function. It might be necessary to clean the folding mechanism to give the bolt
the required space to latch.
How can I protect my EGRET from theft?
The EGRET is small and easy to handle, so you can normally take it anywhere you go. If the scoo-
ter has to stay outside, simply secure it with a cable or U-lock for bicycles through the spokes of
the front wheel or around the handlebars.
Spiral cable locks are best suited, because they are very flexible. Refer to the details from the
manufacturer for more information on the security of the lock.
How can I clean/maintain my EGRET?
Just like any other vehicle, you can extend the service life of your EGRET by cleaning it regularly.
The EGRET-TEN and EGRET EIGHT are made of aluminium, characterised by robustness, low
weight and being rust-free.
Only the footboard of the EGRET-TEN is made of wood and our bolts are made of steel and
have a zinc-coating to prevent rust. If the coating is damaged by abrasion, rust may form in these
places, which you can prevent by regular maintenance.
The proper interlocking of the folding mechanism is maintained when regularly cleaned. Here are
a few cleaning tips:
• Use suitable cleaning and maintenance products and a soft sponge.
• A dish brush (with soft bristles) is also great to get at hard to reach places on the scooter (e.g.
the folding mechanism).
• Do not use sponges with a rough surface. This will damage the scooter's paint.
• Do not use solvents.
• Never point a water jet directly at the scooter.
• After cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth to remove any cleaning residues.
• Dry with a chamois leather cloth.
• Fold down the scooter to clean the folding mechanism.
• Regularly grease the folding mechanism with all-purpose spray.
NOTE AFTER WASHING:
Water on the brake surfaces can temporarily reduce brake performance.
For this reason, carry out a few braking operations until you are sure that full braking performance
is achieved.
