Got a Zero 10 (first scooter), have some questions/concerns
Post Body

-Any tips on how to fold the scooter properly would be greatly appreciated. I realize now you have to put a little forward pressure on the stem while you step on the release latch, still havent managed to fold my scooter since unfolding it lol. Most I've been able to do is "click it out" of the area it locks into, but it immediately locks back into place (cuz of the pressure on the stem maybe?) I actually thought I had broken my new scooter at first because of how hard this seems to be.

-On that note... Before I learned about having to put pressure on the stem to unlock out of the unfolded position, I tried to unlock it by just putting all my weight down on the release latch with my foot. I thought it was just a really strong latch so I really gave it my all. Any potential damage I caused doing that? Too much pressure on the front wheel or elsewhere that could cause problems? I figure not, since these things are designed to take weight. Just want to cover my bases, given the cost.

-While taking it out for a first spin, I accidentally stepped on the back wheel cover (if it has a different name, I do not know it but it's the little plastic shell that sorta floats over the top of the back wheel). I felt it touch the wheel and quickly stepped off. Seems fine upon examination, it's just that... How do I word this clearly? ... Its not stuck in place, and I dont know if it was like that before or not. What I mean is, it has a little "give" - I can push the shell up and down, but it sorta centers itself back... I guess maybe its intentionally designed that way, so it doesn't stay dragging on the wheel if somebody, say, steps on it while in use. Sorry if I'm not being clear, I guess I was just expecting it to be completely stationary and I'm paranoid now of it brushing up against the wheel.

-The wheels seem to be making a very subtle, but noticable metal-on-metal sound while in motion. Nothing too crazy, but it's not something I immediately noticed until after my first ride. Could've been there before, could be related to the issue with too much pressure on the folding latch, I dont know. Any insight into why this might be happening would be greatly appreciated. Is it cause for concern? If it gets louder/worse, what can I do to fix it?

-The stem feels sliiiightly wobbly when the scooter is in motion. This could just be me not being used to how escooters work, but if this is something I can/should deal with, how would I go about doing that?

Thank you guys. Apologies for length.
