Guide to Installing HIC Compression

HIC stands for Hidden Integrated Compression. In this video, Jonas, our scooter expert, demonstrates the correct method for installing HIC compression.

Initial step: Installing your fork and headset

• Begin by sliding the first bearing onto the fork
• Insert the fork into the head tube of your deck
• Position the second bearing into the upper bearing cup
• Secure the C-ring within the headset
• Attach the headset's top cap

Next step: Setting up the HIC scooter compression system

• Place the shim atop the fork
• Proceed by fastening your HIC top cap
• Ensure it is firmly secured. Excellent job!

Grease: When putting together metal components, using grease can greatly ease the process and extend the longevity of your parts. For HIC compression installation, it might be beneficial to apply a small dab of grease to both bearing cups as well as the threading on your HIC top cap.
