Hi, Yes, this nut should be checked. The best would be for the nut to be tightened with the red lever open and the closing having to be done with gentle help of a foot (no kicking). Be aware of the top adjuster as well and always check if wheel is pointing ahead. Another safety feature should be switching your body position. Body forward when accelerating; body to the back when braking.
Very true. You can counter the inertia of stopping and starting by leaning forward and back and put less stress on the stem of the scooter, and this bolt.
Hey man thank you so much for your videos, got me a Yume D5 without doing any research and I've noticed the same potential life-threatening hazards caused by the same loose mechanisms, with that said... I tightened that nut with a 7/16" nut driver and it's locked in, but do you think the scooter could remain foldable by carrying the nut driver around 😋 and tightening and loosening the nut as necessary? Would you risk it if you wanted to make it more portable for commuting? 🤔 I'm too stubborn to return it, if it lasts more than a year I'll be thrilled, and I really love the way it rides 🥰
This part was loose on my scooter as well what I did to fix the problem permanently was to tighten it to the desired tightness so there was no slap in the handlebars then do you want to put Another nut on it to use as a jam not as the thread locker if they use is not very good this will keep it from having the slop in the folding mechanism. Plus you should check your head tube bearing slack adjusters as well as they can come loose overtime.
Great video. Thank you for the tip! Now I'd like to ask two questions. First one is if you have a video of how to use the right settings for this scooter.... I have it for a long time but one day day I wasc messing up with the settings and the scooter just stopped and I couldn't make it move. So I tried again playing with the controls and finally it's rolling again. But now it just run very slow and I can't figure out how to reset it to get the original settings. The second question is if you have a video to replace the break line. Thank you in advance.
So many TH-camrs have saved my qss cuz they showed how to fix something. These companies should compensate these people cuz they save them money. I'm thinking about getting a d4+ but I'm nervous on spending all that money and getting a defected scooter. But if I do buy it I now know a couple things cuz of you thanks!
Always noticed that wiggle and thought that's how it was supposed to be because of the folding mechanism. Logically? It's supposed to be somewhat loose for easier folding but not that loose. I tested it out after tightening It, it takes a little more force to pull & push the red lever to get folding started but not that much. Thanks for the video man.
Seriously a Segway Ninebot Max doing 18 mph is enough for around town. 25 is the absolute max one needs to go and MIGHT survive a crash(I've crashed faster on my Trek bicycle) with the necessary safety gear.
I was looking at the D4+ and really like it..but havent purchased one yet...Do you or anyone have any suggestions of any other models for around 1300 that is more worth it than D4???anyone?
So do you think they have engineers at Nanrobot or are they just playing the guess the shear strength game with your life? I don't mean this to sound like sarcasm I am concerned about a scooter that is so fast and potentially dangerous.
I don't even think they have either . I think their OEM is loosely copying other scooter companies but cutting small corners here and there hoping no one noticed. Im sure most of them we don't notice, but there are a few that you notice reaaallly quick if you ride this thing hard.
Awesome freakin tip guy, my handle bar stem is not as lose as yours was but it is kinda lose, so's I'm gonna get right on this issue with the looseness of my handle bar stem thingy. Thanks a whole bunch 🛴👍😁
@@nalietmiranda7450 It's been a lot of fun !! My inner tube blew out really quick and I had to order a new one ! If that happens to you, make sure you remove any metal burs inside the wheel mechanism where the inner tube meets metal ! I haven't had a problem since. I had to modify my head lamp too. The mounting bracket for the head lamp is weak and can't handle bumpy conditions and will eventually break ! I tightened the spring tension too ! My scooter rides pretty high off the ground. I take it on single tracks and some pretty rough terrain ! It handles it great ! I want to make a video of some of the trails I do. I have a video on my channel of a single track ride, but it wasn't anything crazy. I was just trying it out ! Night riding single track in the hills is a total thrill ! Nanrobot did a pretty good job on this ! SO FAR !! 👍
Awesome! Glad to help. Before I got mine I was pretty much in the dark too, with the exception of a few channels on here. If you have any requests, I'm totally open.
It's a bit of a give and take. The tighter it is, the harder your folding mechanism will be to operate. But, the more secure your bars will be Make sure you tighten that bolt when the scooter is assembled, not folded. And only tighten it if it's loose.
There's also some play that is fixed by tightening the handlebar stem (get it aligned with the wheel first) and also the folding grips have a screw that adjusts the play on these. These screws should have thread lock so they undo themselves or the other way around.
I imagine it has a very similar latch , but unfortunately I don't have any hands on experience with the D5+, I know the channel @wattsinyours does. Maybe he can help.
Ok im a ginger on a scooter too. But i have to share info on Roadrunner ls unsafe scooters. Within 3 weeks of buying their RS5+ their flagship scooter, the front brakes no longer work and the small safety lock pin on the stem has gnarled uo the stem hole that it locks into so baf it no longer works. No one wants to buy a new car to take it home to work on. And zero help from Roadrunner. So just want to share my experience with Roadrunner scooters bad customer service and now selling it for a 25% loss since i can not even ride it anymore. Pretty sad company if they dont even back it up.
Bonjour je viens d acheter cette trottinette et votre vidéo me fait très peur.j ai ce jeux de potence pareils.dois je resserai et sa va aller ou je dois plus rouler avec .merci de votre réponse
@@GingerOnWheels I have a d5 which isn't exactly the same but same concept removed front wheel under the front fender there was loose screw and the ones on the outside up top by the swing arm between the deck and front of scooter I had to loctite them kept coming loose giving a whole bunch of play in the handbars very scary when going 30 miles an hour
Thank you, this helped me fix my wobbly bars, 3-4 years with it and still runs strong

Hahah 🤣 , glad I could help.
Thanks! Could not figure out why it was loose
I have the d4 4.0 and it has the same screw
This was a big help

Wow that’s fucking unbelievable are you serious??! That tiny thing
Great job I've noticed the wiggle on many other videos too.
Is this the same for the D5?
Does the d6+ 2.0 have the same problem?

maybe put some thread locker on it so it doesn't come loose again with vibrations from rides.

I tested it out after tightening It, it takes a little more force to pull & push the red lever to get folding started but not that much. Thanks for the video man.
Glad you found it useful!
Could you loctite that to keep it from coming loose every so often?
Yes. More than likely.
mine was the same and i left it, it folded at 70kph and basically broke its self and now i cant find parts
I was considering a Nanrobot this information has me rethinking that idea. 🤔
It should be, those things are dangerous.

You did it again! Thank you! Man, keeping me alive! Whattach! 🤣🤣🤣
There are two types of nanrobot , the original has name in the part higher where you put the feet , and the imitation no has it

@@nalietmiranda7450
Go shred ! 👍
@@nalietmiranda7450 how long did your delivery take?
Which tool did you use, is it included in the toolkits that they provide
Deep set socket wrench. They don't supply it. Sorry your comment took me so long to see!
cool videos man. i just ordered my d4+, definitely watching all your vids lol keep posting!
Awesome! Glad to help. Before I got mine I was pretty much in the dark too, with the exception of a few channels on here. If you have any requests, I'm totally open.
@@GingerOnWheels hi do you still have it
@@driftathug no
Thank you mine has a loose feel 😊
Actually, i already decided to buy this Scooter Nanrobot D4+ 2.0 but when I watched this video, now i change my mind🤣
Good call. You'll be better off without Nanrobot. Get any other scooter. You'll be so much happier.
@@GingerOnWheels I disagree I love this model def worth the money compared to other scooters that are twice the price and the same specs
Thanks for showing that but I own a nanrobot d6+ it don't have that on there thanks goodness 😊
What model is that? The X6 doesn’t look like that at all, looks more robust....
You know TH-cam has more than just thumbnails, right 🤣? It's a Nanrobot D4+. I say it in the first 10 seconds.
i tighted that but now the folding system is not working propertly, yours do?
It's a bit of a give and take. The tighter it is, the harder your folding mechanism will be to operate. But, the more secure your bars will be Make sure you tighten that bolt when the scooter is assembled, not folded. And only tighten it if it's loose.
@@GingerOnWheels thanks ill see how it goes :)
Even with mine fully tightened I still have a little play exactly where you pointed out. Any tips?
Sorry, without being able to look at it I can't really be much help.
@@GingerOnWheels you got rid of it?
There's also some play that is fixed by tightening the handlebar stem (get it aligned with the wheel first) and also the folding grips have a screw that adjusts the play on these. These screws should have thread lock so they undo themselves or the other way around.
I have this problem in d5+ 2.0! How can i fix it?

Put two nuts
Maybe tell your views to put lock tight on it.
Definitely good advice. Blue loctite on all scooter bolts never hurts.
