WARNING: Patching a tube is an emergency repair. Patches can severely
weaken the integrity of a tube, resulting in possible tube failure and cause
a loss of control. Replace a patched tube as soon as possible. Never replace
the tube with anything other then the stock OEM tube. Using an aftermarket
tube or tire not intended for Go-Ped® specification could result in a sudden
loss of pressure that could cause damage to your scooter and sudden loss
of control. Never use a tube or tire that is not recommended by Go-Ped®.
CAUTION: Replace front or rear tires when tread is worn within 1/16" tread
depth, or if obvious tire damage has occurred.
D. Non-Pneumatic Tire Information
Non-pneumatic tires require no maintenance but must be replaced when normal wear and tear
makes the tire diameter reach the wear limit dimple found on the side wall of the tire. Split,
cracked or torn tires should be replaced immediately.
E. “T” Handle Installation
1.
Remove the plastic hinge pin from the bottom of
the handle bar assembly.
2. Compress slide tube locking spring and hold in
place.
3. Insert the handle bar assembly in the slot of the lower
hinge assembly found on the body of the frame assembly at the front fork.
4. Hold the slide tube in the up position and insert the plastic hinge pin.
5. Use a hammer and a spare bolt (not provided) to get the plastic hinge pin
centered in the hole so that the slide tube can slide over it and sit flush with the
bearing race. Note: Refer to “3.3 Folding Feature for proper operation.
3.3 Folding Feature
Your Scooter is equipped with a folding feature for easy carrying and stowage. To fold pull up
against the spring tension on the slide tube found on the base of the “t” handle until it completely
exposes the hinge assembly and fold to the latching mechanism found next to the motor. Reverse
process to lock handle bar in the riding position.
Note: Karts do not have a folding feature.
WARNING: The Lower Hinge of the folding hinge assembly is also a
Mechanical Fuse designed to break if there is high shock loads, stress,
and/or fatigue exerted on the handlebar assembly. The lower hinge is a
safety feature that will leave your bars extremely loose and must be replaced
before you continue to operate the unit.
A. Adjustment of Slide Tube Clamp:
The slide tube clamp on the bottom of your Pro Slide Tube is used on extreme performance Go-
Peds to reduce handlebar play at the hinge. Adjustment of the clamp is a simple operation, which is
performed using a 5mm allen wrench.
-If the clamp is left loose, the slide tube can easily slide up so that the scooter may be folded.
-If the clamp is very tight, it will not be possible to slide the tube up and fold the scooter.
-The clamp will reduce play even when the bolt is not very tight. The play will be reduced more as
the bolt is tightened.
-The rider should determine the setting which works best for them.
CAUTION: Before you ride - Be certain the handle lock tube is in its full down
position, locking the handle bar upright, and that the lower hinge does not
feel loose of appears to be sliding out.
6.6 Motorized Riding
WARNING: The exhaust contains chemicals known to the state of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Warm up the engine (30 to 60 seconds). With the Sport, X25, X-Ped®, and Super X-Ped™ engine
running and with throttle set at idle, set the rear tire on the ground and immediately start walking
alongside the scooter then step on the deck with both feet and with both hands firmly on the
handle grips you can now begin to add throttle control. This will take some practice and coordina-
tion before you can do it smoothly. With the GSR/GTR you simply stand on the scooter with both
hands on the controls, release the brake, and you can now apply throttle control. With the
Bigfoot™ you have both hands on the controls and push off or get a push from an assistant.
While the scooter or kart is rolling, slowly lower the motor using the trim lever to engage the drive
spindle against the tire while slowly applying more throttle.
WARNING: The scooters and kart outlined in this manual use a friction and/
or a chain drive system. Keep clear of rear wheel and its drive compo-
nents when the engine is running or sever injury may occur.
CAUTION: As engine power is applied through a friction or chain drive, it is
very important to maintain proper drive roller/chain tension adjustment as
outlined in this manual.
Section 7: Free Wheel Scooting
7.1 Non-Chain Driven Models
Unlock the rear wheel quick release lever. Pull wheel down to bottom of axle adjustment slot.
Rotate EPW to contact lug and lock down Quick Release Lever. Check for free rotation of rear
wheel. Riding in this mode should be legal anywhere bicycles are allowed.
NOTE: Rear wheel adjustment will be required more frequently when tire is new, to prevent drive
system slippage. If drive system is allowed to slip excessively, high temperatures will result and
damage the drive spindle and/or tire, extreme or uneven tire wear will also result, causing
uneven overloading to engine crankshaft and bearing. Refer to section 9.2 “Adjusting the rear
wheel” in this manual to correct drive system engagement issues.
7.2 Bigfoot
To disengage the drive system for free wheeling simply adjust the engine trim lever to the
disengaged position.
7.3 Chain Drive Models
With engine not operating simply push the scooter.
Note: There will be some natural resistance caused by the drive components.
Section 8: Maintenance and Parts
CAUTION: Technological advances have made Go-Pe and the compo-
nents more complex then ever. This on going evolution makes it impos-
sible for this manual to provide all the information required to properly
repair and or maintain your Go-Ped®. In order to help keep your unit func-
tioning normally, you have any repair or maintenance which is not specifi-
cally described in this manual performed by an authorized Go-Ped® dealer.
Just as important is that your individual maintenance requirements will be determined by every-
thing from your riding style to geographic location. Consult your authorized Go-Ped® dealer for
help with determining your individual maintenance requirements.
NOTE: Failure to maintain your unit at the recommended schedule may result in poor performance
and/or cause permanent damage to your engine.
