Turning Your Scooter On; Accelerating - Gio Electric ITALIA-MK Owner's Manual

Turning your scooter on

Your Italia-MK features a keyed ignition and an on/off switch to control the power. The
ignition functions as the master switch with on/off switch functioning as an easy access
kill switch for the power. The ignition is located on the steering column (see diagram)
and has the following settings.
OFF - Scooter is off, key can be removed,
ON - Scooter is on, key cannot be removed, LCD display should activate
LOCK - Scooter is off and steering is locked for security. Turn steering all the way to the
left, push and turn counterclockwise to lock
The on/off switch located next to the throttle toggles the power between the On (I)
position and the Off (O) position. This switch only functions if the ignition switch is set to
on.

Accelerating

Acceleration for your scooter is controlled by the twist grip throttle on the right
handlebar. Rotate throttle towards you to accelerate and away from you to slow down.
It's more efficient if you add power gradually when accelerating and coast as far as
possible before braking. The green speed button located below the on/off switch sets
the scooter between the low and high speed settings. Press and depress this button to
toggle between the 2 speeds.
Note: The scooter features cruise control that applies automatically when holding the
throttle at max high speed for approx. 10 seconds. In order to disengage cruise control,
slightly apply brakes.
⚠
Always keep your hands on the brake levers in order to control the speed and to
be able to disengage cruise control.
