2 Maintenance and inspection:

2.1 Cleaning:

Cleaning is the number one thing you can do in order to ensure your GIO will serve you for

a long time. In the long run, it will save you money and a lot of time waiting for the scooter

to be repaired. Ideally, you should clean your GIO after each ride. But it really depends on

your riding style and on how much you ride. A good rule of thumb is that if you ride more

than twice or three times a week, clean your scooter weekly! Clean the scooter with

greater care.

The electrical components don't take kindly to strong water stream. A strong water stream

could breach the waterproof seals of the electrical components and even force water in

them and cause premature failure.

Therefore, don't use aggressive water sprays or power jets when washing the scooter and

keep water off the battery/motor/brain module and other electrical components as much

as you can. Clean gently but thoroughly and make sure that all the outer casing of the

electric parts are dry and clean.

Remove any dirt, debris, sand, mud, and grit that got caught on the scooter and dry it off.

While cleaning, it is a good opportunity to look closely for worn, loose, cracked, rust or

damaged parts. Buckled paint can also be a hint for some parts that need closer

inspection.

If you are not sure about something, advise with your local authorized GIO dealer.

Dry off the scooter after washing it, or after riding in the wet condition.
