Toys Scooter Steering Tubes Strength Tester GT-M82

1.Resistance to downward forces

Place the toy scooter on a horizontal plane and secure it so that it will stand upright during the test.Check that the locking devices are correctly engaged.

l A) For toy scooters with two handles, suspend a mass of (50+/-0.5)kg at the centre of each handle. (see Figure 1 a) Maintain the load for 5 min. Determine whether the steering tube collapses and the locking devices are still operable and engaged. Remove the 50kg masses. Release the main locking devices and with the secondary locking device still engaged, load the handles with a mass of (25+/-0.2)kg each and maintain the load for 5 min. Determine whether the secondary locking device is still operable and engaged.

l B) For toy scooters with steering tubes without handles, perform the test using a load with a mass of (100+/-1)kg and (50+/-0.5)kg respectively on top of the tube.(see Figure 1 b)

2.Resistance to upward forces

Place and secure the toy scooter upside down on a podium(see Figure 3 c). Check that the locking devices are correctly engaged.

l A)For toy scooters with two handles, suspend a mass of (25+/-0.2)kg at the centre of each handle. Maintain the load for 5 min.

l B) For toy scooters with steering tubes without handles ,place a mass of (50+/-0.5)kg on the end of the steering tube. Maintain the load for 5 min. Determine whether the steering tube has separated and the locking devices are still operable and engaged.
