The post on my scout scooter is loose. Is this normal?

If you mean the steering post no. It should be solid. Also the seat post should be solid.

it seems to be the norm mine also not as tight as i would like but it does seem to work fine

READ THIS! Yes, my seat when brand new felt wobbly after a few miles. That's because the screws on the pair of main springs were getting loose! All you have to do is tighten them real tight, preferably with a non-adjusting wrench. But don't apply too much torque that you start stripping the threads. And also check what UNHAPPY CAMPER was talking about. He makes very good sense. This seat is excellent if properly adjusted and installed, but it is not plug-n-play, I'm sorry to say.

As long as the seat post has a standard clamp to attach to the rails under the seat, yes. If the seatpost uses a clamp that is adjustable with a hex key, it may become loose as you ride.

It may seem like it is locked in place, but once mounted it will swivel quite well......it needs to be broken in so to say....mine was tight but now it is fine....well worth the price. If this is not the case and yours is defective, just return it....but I think you will be fine once you have it installed and begin using it. GC

I had a similar issue and found that it was a result of tightening the posts too much. The cams they used are also of lower quality so many that actually locked into place didn't give you the "click" feeling that would let you know you had it right. I put mine together with full anticipation that it need to be fix within a few weeks, so far (4 months later) it's holding strong to daily use with no indication of loosening.

I know they sell them for a few bucks. Could it be loose in the gear mechanism? You could always return it too back to Amazon

There is some truth to this problem. The light mounts with a plastic strap that is tightened with a lever (think of a ski boot buckle). The problem is that the lever doesn't really stay tightened, and you have to push it back into place. However, I haven't noticed this loosening going over bumps, etc., it's just that at the end of a ride, you tighten the strap again. A minor design defect and not a big deal. I like the light.

I don't think so. I can't check right now. But, I didn't notice any movement in the one I got. If you look on the bottom, you might see a locking nut or something for that post. It might just be lose.

The center stem is completely removable, so put a little oil at an appropriate point and turn it around a little. There is a knob to adjust as well to tighten and loosen. Mine was a little stiff when I received it, but is fine now. Hope that helps! Lois

It's a little loose on my Girsan MC1911 Gen2. but I fixed it with Loctite epoxy (red) which is also available on Amazon for $4.99.

The black wire should not be loose. Both the red and black wires are attached at both ends to part of the copter and battery post.

There is a clamp that is further to bottom that probably needs to be tighter than what it already is. The same thing happened to my son. If that does not work try taking it to the nearest bike shop to see if they know what to do.

What seatpost issue? I never had one. I've used the factory post, a Thomson, and an XC-Lite. No issues.

Not likelyThe fork is held stable, but everyhing else flexes as if on the road.I'm not an engineer, but I don't see sny issues.

Yes, to alleviate this, make sure seat post is free of grease & dust. It also depends on how much weight you have in the back. I've mastered giving it a nudge to put it back in alignment while riding...A minor inconvenience on a less than 50 mile ride. If you're going to be planning and extended trip I'd suggest a fixed rack. I bought the Topeak 29'er rack which also accommodates the MTX trunk bag.

Sorry to hear about your theft - seems like nothing is sacred anymore. The clamp for post tightens up to hold it on to frame & also adjusts onto seat. My post is approximately 1" wide. A bike shop can help you. Good luck. Carol

I have this issue as well. There's maybe a quarter inch of space between the nut and the bottom of the arm. It's as if the bolt is too long. Not really sure what to do other than stick a bunch of washers in there.
