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.

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.

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.
