Troubleshooting
General Information
The Cruiser's body/frame is broken down into 6 parts for the purposes of this card/explanation. As the image above shows, we have: - Handlebars/T-Bar(Information about brakes/eletrical components will not be featured here) - Stem(Information about the electrical components running within it are not covered in depth here) - Folding Mechanism/S-knob - Deck(Information about the internal components of the deck will not be featured here) - Rear Wheel/Suspension(Information about the brakes/motor will not be featured here) - Front Wheel/Suspension(Information about the brakes will not be featured here) Will also go over some miscellaneous parts that are not listed above
Please take note that there are many aspects of the Cruiser that are changed over time. Not everything that is changed is always noted on the website descritption or product descriptions. Everything listed in this card will be up to date as of the time this is made. Any future changes can be modified in this card later.
Functionality
Handlebars/T-Bar
The handlebars and T-bar are composed of a few different parts. First you have the the T-bar which is what completes the stem and joins the handlebars to the scooter. The handlebars themselves are two individual pieces that attach to each end of the T-bar.
T-Bar The Cruiser has had two different T-bars in its time so far. First there is the square T-bar which was used on older models of the scooter. Second is the round T-bar which is used on all current Cruiser models. The reason for this change is that with the round T-bar, customers can now attach accessories here and leave the handlebars less cluttered. As of now, only older customers(pre Summer 2021) should have the square versions. However, if people purchase Refurbished models there is also a chance to get the square T-bars as well. The square T-bar is shorter than the round T-bar(see image below): Round T-bar - 19 1/4 inches Square T-bar - 17 1/4 inches In the two holes of the T-bar, a round head casing with a screw on each side is required. This is what holds the handlebars attached to the T-bar. The two screws for the casing are an M6 x12mm silver round head, and the round head casing is an M6x20mm(see image below, only has 1 screw in) Website Links: - Round T-bar: https://www.voromotors.com/collections/electric-scooter-parts-and-accessories/products/round-t-bar-emove-cruiser- Square T-bar:https://www.voromotors.com/collections/electric-scooter-parts-and-accessories/products/t-bar
Handlebars The Cruiser's handlebars have also changed slightly overtime as well. There are minor changes with them that are not major differences, but some picky customers may point out or acknowledge thinking it is a big change. In the warehouses inventory there are 3 different sizes of handlebars. As of right now they are not all organized properly, so there is a chance that a customer could receive any of these 3. We do keep the correct Cruiser(new) handlebars in higher quantity though, so a customer receiving the other 2 would be uncommon. In the images below, you can see the screws circles in red. Some of them have different types of screws(flathead/socket/etc), but they will all be an M5 x8mm(preferably dark grey socket screw, but it is not that important). The handlebar when installed on the Cruiser should always have this screw facing upwards. Another thing to note is that on some new or previous models, there used to be a plastic washer piece in the ring shaped area of the twist piece(squared in purple). This is overall no longer present and not important whether it is there or not(we also do not carry/sell this).

Stem The Cruiser's stem is technically made of two parts, but for technical purposes would be referring to the lower half. Most people would refer to the T-bar as part of the stem which is part true, but we like to differentiate these. When we refer to the stem, we are referring to the image below:
Take note that the Cruiser stem is only available in White/Orange/Black on our website. It is not the case that we do not carry Purple/Red/Electric Blue/etc, but these would need to be special ordered and paid for in advanced.

Folding Mechanism/S-knob The Cruiser's folding mechanism is another feature that is composed of multiple parts, but sometimes referred to by just one. Customers will often refer to the S-knob as the folding mechanism, but the folding mechanism is just the silver part linking the stem to the deck. The S-knob is the piece that allows the Cruiser to fold and unfold which is installed through the silver folding mechanism. The S-knob is a pull piece that locks on the folding mechanism to be either folded or unfolded. The other half of the folding mechanism is just referred to as the "folding mechanism", which connects the silver mechanism to the deck. This part is the same color as the scooter and will be touched on in the deck portion below.
Rubber Bumper Rings In the Cruiser's folding mechanism, there is also a rubber bumper ring piece in the center. This piece sits right below the S-knob and has two screws that go in on each side. The bumper rings act as additional safety for the folding mechanism which assists in preventing the separation of the deck from folding mechanism.

Deck The Cruiser's deck is simply the main frame piece of the scooter that a rider stands on. It also houses inside the battery, controller and other wiring. The deck is composed of the deck, deck cover, folding mechanism, and front U-deck(Technically, the turn signals cover up part of the rear deck but those were covered in the Internal Parts card). Currently, the deck is only listed to come in orange, but we do have other color variants. If we are out of stock of one color though, it would need to be special ordered and paid in advanced. As shown below, the deck comes as just the bottom frame piece of the scooter(no screws/wires/etc come with). * No picture of the deck cover currently *

Front Wheel The Cruiser's front wheel as a whole is composed of a tubeless tire, wheel hub, air valve, and two bearings. The front wheel when fully assembled on the scooter also has an axle with spacers and nuts through the middle. Here is how the front wheel will look by itself:

Rear Wheel The Cruiser's rear wheel is essentially just the motor. The only part of the rear wheel that does not have to do with the motor are the tire, motor nuts, and motor hook spacers. Anything else would be referenced in Emove Cruiser Motor (Full Detailed Breakdown)

Rear/Front Suspension The Cruiser uses two different types of suspension. Dual spring suspension is used on the front, while dual air shock suspension is used on the rear. It is important to note that on any scooter, the suspension should not be messed with or adjusted. Doing so would potentially increase chances of an accident and would be a safety hazard.

Miscellaneous Parts
Front Wheel Bearing The Cruiser(and pretty much all scooters) use bearings within their wheels. This is true for plain wheels that are not motors as well as the motor wheels. However, it should be noted that bearings within a motor are not necessarily changeable like a non motor wheel is. Removing a bearing from a motor is a very difficult and dangerous process which we do not offer or recommend. Website Link: https://www.voromotors.com/products/bearing-for-tires-for-emove-touring?_pos=1&_sid=75e1d8f1c&_ss=r
Kickstand The Cruiser's kickstand is an attachment towards the front-left underside of the deck. This part is just used to keep the scooter standing upright when parked. The kickstand comes as shown below, and if a specific part of it were to break, the whole thing would require replacing.
Website Link: https://www.voromotors.com/products/kickstand-for-the-emove-cruiser?_pos=4&_psq=kickstand&_ss=e&_v=1.0
Stem Holder The stem holder is the bottom piece of the T-bar in the Cruiser. This part helps to keep the steering alignment straight on the scooter. This part does come with the screw as shown below, but it does not come pre-drilled. If for whatever reason you would like this done prior to shipping, you would need to arrange this with shipping team. Website Link: https://www.voromotors.com/products/stem-holder-for-emove-cruiser?_pos=1&_psq=stem%20holder&_ss=e&_v=1.0
Air Valves The Cruiser uses two different air valves on the scooter. On the front wheel there is a bigger 90 degree angled valve, and on the rear wheel there is a smaller straight valve. Air valves are installed through the wheel hub/motor with the tires needing to be removed first. Air valves do not come with air valve caps.

Upper Stem Base The Cruiser has had 2 different upper stem bases over time which are installed at the top of the stem. This assists in facilitating the T-bar and wire routing. The 2022 updated stem base has been coming default on Cruisers since about late December- January 2022. Anyone needing this part should make sure they are ordering the correct version if they have a 2021 order date.

Front Fender The Cruiser has featured two different fenders up until now. All 2020 and later Cruisers come default with a half fender, so most customers would not require full fenders. Both fenders are installed on the front suspension forks.

Cruiser Rear Brace The Cruiser's rear brace is what holds and connects the rear wheel/motor to the deck of the scooter(via the rear brace mount). This part also functions as the housing for the rear fender, brake caliper, and rear suspension. Website Link: https://www.voromotors.com/products/cruiser-rear-brace?_pos=2&_psq=rear%20brace&_ss=e&_v=1.0
Cruiser Rear Brace Mount The Cruiser's rear brace mount is what connects and holds the rear brace to the deck of the scooter. Its also houses the rear chassis rod and the top point of the rear suspension. This part also holds the "block piece" that is where the tow handle would be installed. The brace mount does not yet have a website listing, but will be updated once available. Website Link(Rear Suspension Block):https://www.voromotors.com/collections/electric-scooter-parts-and-accessories/products/rear-suspension-1
Brake Caliper Brace Plate The Cruiser's brace plate is what allows the brake caliper to be installed on the rear brace. There are two different versions, one for the front and rear. Rear is below on the left, and front is below on the right. Website Link: https://www.voromotors.com/products/brake-caliper-brace-plate-emove-cruiser?_pos=1&_psq=brake%20plate&_ss=e&_v=1.0

As you can see in the image below, we have 2 different versions of the front wheel set. Customers may notice that after purchasing a new front wheel set that their original spacers do not allow the wheel to fit. Looking at the images below, you can see that the older set has a lip of about 2mm which is removed on the new wheel set. If the customer is moving from the old wheel to the new wheel, they would simply require the new spacers from the image shown earlier above. Additionally, if a customer purchased spacers for their older wheel set, they would likely receive the newer ones that do not fit. If this is the case, we would need to try and provide them the older spacers if possible.
