Required Tools:

  • Phillips screwdriver
  • Allen key 2.5 mm

  • Scissors
  • Shrink tubing (alternatively insulating tape)

Changing your rear light begins - perhaps a little unexpectedly - at the front of the scooter. The plug connection of your scooter is hidden behind the front maintenance flap. To remove this maintenance flap, loosen the two screws located at the top and bottom of the scooter.
Cut open the shrink tubing and unplug your rear light. Tie a piece of thread to the plug to make it easier to pull through the frame later.Remove the mudguard. If you are using a VX2 model, you can skip the next two steps.

For the VX2 PRO model, remove the support strut by first removing the rubber plugs on both sides of the engine cover. Then dismantle the engine cover using the Allen key.Separate the support strut from the frame. Hold the nut with the open-end wrench and loosen the screw with the Allen key.Pull the taillight and mudguard out of the scooter. Untie the thread and leave it in the scooter.

Loosen the cable of the rear light on the inside of the mudguard. If replacing the mudguard, also remove the hook for the folding mechanism

Install the new taillight or mount the old taillight in the new mudguard. Attach the thread to the plug of the new light and pull it forward through the frame.

Reassemble all the elements at the back of the scooter. Before plugging in the new light, pull the shrink tubing over the cable.
