Gen 3 Verve scooter: loose latch fix updated

Описание: At the start of my first ride, the folding latch mechanism was tight with very little play. After a 15km ride through rough streets, sidewalks, and some gravel, the latch at become loose.

Cause: There is a little silver bolt that rotates quite freely. This bolt is supposed to push against the round silver cylinder on the opposite side to add tension to the latch. The vibration cause the bolt to rotate. If it rotates clockwise, the bolt tightens and gets shorter. Since it's shorter, it no longer pushes against the silver cylinder and the latch is loose. There is no more tension and the only thing holding it closed is that little silver safety latch at the top. Scary!

Fix: In the folding mechanism, turn the left silver bolt towards you/counter closewise. You can just use your fingers, it's that loose. (if security key is loose see below) This loosens the bolt and makes it longer which will cause it to push against that silver cyclinder on the other side and add tension to the latch & make it tighter.  BUT do not loosen the bolt too much or it will fall out. If your latch is too tight and doesn't close, then the bolt clockwise.

After bolt is adjusted there is a locking hex screw on the side of the latch will tighten the bolt to prevent it from moving. Use Allen key to tighten.
