This guide shows you how to maintain the compression headset on an Envy Prodigy series scooter. The headset enables smooth steering and stability while riding.
Over time, moisture, dirt, and heavy impacts can cause the bearings to wear down or the compression system to loosen. If left unchecked, this can lead to rattling, stiffness, or even steering problems.
Before you begin, ensure you have the correct tools and space to work. Routine maintenance helps keep your scooter safe and operating smoothly.
