SAFE RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
Check before riding if all the folding
parts are locked. First check if main
hinge is locked by trying to fold the
GiGi without unlocking the main
hinge. If this is not possible the
folding mechanism is locked (if the
GiGi is not unfolded correct the motor
will not work).
Subsequently check if the front assembly
and folding handle bars are locked.
See short manual supplied with your GiGi for more details.
1.2 CLOTHING

1.4 RIDER AND CARGO
• Inordertocarryobjectsorbagsoneshouldexplicitlyusetheluggagehookprovided
for bags.
• Maximumscooterweightallowancemaynotbeexceeded.Maximum100Kg.forrider
including light luggage.
• Thescooterisallowedtocarrymaximum 1 person.
1.5 AFTER RIDING
• Checkifthebatteryneedscharging.
Riding with a low level battery significantly decreases its life.
Batterylifecanbeextendedbyrechargingiteachtimeafteruse.Thereisnoriskof
overcharging,becauseafterreachingmaximumchargelevelthechargerdisconnects
automatically. It also starts charging when the battery level gets too low to avoid complete
selfdischarge. It is therefore required to plug in the GiGi when stalled for a long period of time.
