is there a trick to getting the brakes to work properly? it seems to wobble no matter how I position them.

My cradle did the same thing and I would occasionally have to tighten the screws on the brake clips....then no problem for awhile.

Susan, I think there's always going to be a little movement especially if it's on carpet. It's isn't a design to be solid. A four let design would be solid. Those little metal things are only to limit the rocking motion. I don't know how you have those installed, but if they are installed as instructed, that may be as good as it gets. Mine wobbles a little. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Make sure the wheels are snapped on...I did this also, but if you give the wheels a solid push, a very definite click sounds and the wheels do not come off. Press hard to be sure they are clicked on, not just put on.

Make sure the steel cable between the two is on the "track" and adjust the knob under the foot rests - it may need to be tighter, if too tight, you can hardly make it work. Took me a couple of tries to get it right - go to the "+" side first. Hope this helps.

Did you install it correctly? The way i installed it was to tightened til it stops, back out 1/4 turn and retightened. Repeat til it is straight. The crush washers are one time use.

Milissa, I was not able to adjust the brakes at all, so I ended up taking it to a bike shop to have all that done, cost me $50 for a $90 scooter! I consider myself very handy but was not able to do it myself.

I had the same issue. I put a couple of drops of silicone oil on the wheel as they suggested and this is working so far.

Sounds like you have a defective one. We had to send one back too. They replaced it. It shouldn't wobble and those pegs should fit snug in the holes. If you've never returned anything to Amazon before, just click under your account and then orders. It's easy.

I used the center post to "hammer" the wheels in. 1-2 whacks should do it, on the flat part of the wheel. Be sure the wheel is aligned with the center, as shown in the diagram. I was unable to push it in manually, but I do have small hands.

Yes, I just got my bike and the seat wobbles a lot. I crammed some cardbd in where it appeared to be wobbling, but it only improved a bit. Does anyone have any suggestions???

The brakes are parking brakes only. They will not stop the unit on any significant hill like a wheel chair ramp or apron to a street. The steering is also very twitchy on mine. I recommend flat, smooth surfaces only.

Mike,I had the EXACT same problem for a day or so. Then, for some unexplained reason, the stars aligned, and it seated correctly (while I was making a video to email to Lucid to demonstrate problem, no less). Try turning the square bolts 90 degrees, 1 at a time, and check seating after you turn each one. For me, it was the REAR bolt that was giving me problems. Try mounting it on different rail spaces, too. Let Lucid know, ASAP, tho, so its documented. They told me (the "founder"), that they never heard of this problem. LOL. Mine sits tight now...go figure. Good luck.

I ran into the same issue. After I got the rest of it tightened, I laid the whole thing down horizontally, undid the screws that were holding those two L & R legs, made sure the leg pieces were then flush, and put the screws back in. This time, with the whole thing horizontal, it was much easier to screw the screws/bolts together. And I had to get it SUPER tight before it wasn't wobbly. But it did eventually work great. Hope this helps!

im not sure Neil, I didn't have this issue, did you strip the bolt that the nut attaches to? you may just have to slowly stop turning the nut when you feel the tension. I apologize for not a better answer.

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate the details of how you use them. I have a yes and a no. The problem is I am alone and it's extremely difficult to lift and place each wheel. And frustrating to have them slip off when moved. But again, I'm grateful for your time.

Yes, instead of squeezing the brake levers, push them towards the ground and the brake stays locked indefinitely. Pull them up to release.

we didn't have this problem. thething we had a problem with was the turning radius of the front tires...without wobbling. They sent us new tires..that eliminated the problem.

The problem may be that one end of the indicator bar is not properly set in the track. Mine was not. I was able to take the back off and reseat it without breaking. Good luck.
