QUICK 4 kick stand question

Faith_Granger_Filmmaker

The kick stand on my quick 4 is very weak, meaning if you nudge the scooter the kickstand will collapse and the scooter will fall. Today I tightened the top screw that seem to go through the kickstand hinge, using two Allan wrenches one on each side. No matter how tight I got them the outcome was the same. I use to sit on my Yadea KS5 all the time to rest and take in the sights, I can’t do it on my QUICK 4 unless I am SUPER careful, cause the kickstand will simply fold from under us. No, I am NOT fat LOL, only 120 lbs. Do you have the same issue with your QUICK 4 DrScootLittle? Can it be fixed? When I tightened that hinge screw, all it did is make it a tad harder to fully complete the folding, but it did not make the start of the folding action more stiff. In short no increase in resistance at the start of folding travel, only at the end. I will try to make a video so you can understand what I am talking about.

My kickstand on my Fiebor Q06 is cheap as well. My problem was it was too long. It wouldn’t lean far enough and would easily fall over on the other side. I too tightened mine and with a hacksaw I cut off about half an inch. That fixed my problem. Most of these scooters have cheap kickstands. But, you can order another one on a different brand and if you have to drill a couple of new holes and it will work. When you find someone who says there’s is strong and durable take note of the brand and just order a replacement through them. Or, you can take a kickstand off of certain bikes, mini bikes, motor scooters and customize it to fit yours. You’ll have to make the appropriate changes to get it to fix. Good luck.

Sorry for the delay!

I do have a solution to the Quick 4 side stand. In addition to being length-adjustable, the foot can also be rotated! Ours arrived in the wrong orientation and our scooter would roll right off of the side stand. I reported this to Inokim and thought it was a one-off or I would have included this in the review.

The solution is to set the scooter on its side. Then loosen the allen bolt holding the foot onto the stand (the underside of the foot of the kickstand when the scooter is parked). You need to rotate the foot an then lock it back down. When you’re done the foot of the scooter should be pointed at the 10 o’clock position when viewed from the rider’s point of view when straddling the scooter with scooter parked, and side stand down.

I might have my hotrodder buddy (I am a hotrodder mself) mill me an extention to add to my current quickstand. that will solve the length problem but not the tendency to fold. I will keep an eye open for other stands. My previous scooter, a cheaper Yahead KS5 had the perfect kick stand. Go figure LOL

I hope you get it worked out. I’m sure you will. Good luck to you. I had to cut about ½” off of mine and that worked great.

Oh gotcha. Thanks. I went ahead and removed the cap then with a hacksaw cut off ¼”. But it’s still a bit long so I will try this.

Thx

Currently it appears it is already pointing to 10 o’clock when looking straight down at it from standing on the deck. Also when facing it (when you are at a 90 degree angle from deck) I can read INOKIM on the kick stand (see photos)

, I supposed if it had been mounted backwards that logo would be facing away from me.
I saw this video review on the OX 9which sport a similar type kickstand) a couple days ago and the reviewer had the same problem, the whole scooter fell off the reviewing table because the kick stand gave in LOLOL… And I went “Ah! It isn’t all in my head afterall”
