Using this wheel is easy. Just attach it to your scooter where the old wheel was. When riding, the super - grippy 88a compound will give you great control on both street and park surfaces. As for maintenance, keep the wheel clean. You can use a mild soap and water to wash it. Make sure to dry it thoroughly. Check the ABEC 9 bearings regularly. If they seem to be running rough, you might need to lubricate them. Also, be careful not to subject the wheel to extreme impacts as it could damage the hollow core design. Store the wheel in a dry place when not in use to prevent any corrosion or damage to the aluminium CORE.
