Assembly Instructions
Your GIO Element arrives partially assembled and requires assembly
before use. For a complete assembly video from our technician
checkout the following video online for the step by step process
https://youtu.be/KeWwoIXZ1lE
To begin assembly, remove the scooter and all pieces from the metal
frame and box it arrived in. It is always best to save all packing
materials until assembly is complete to ensure no component is
accidentally discarded.
1) Wheels
Remove the nut and washer that comes pre installed on each of the
front axles. Lift the scooter and slide on each wheel, making sure to
follow the rotation markings on each wheel to ensure it is on the
correct side. Replace the washer and nut and tighten until secure.
8

Steering Handlebars
Insert the handlebars on top of the steering column aligning the holes.
Insert the large bolt (a) and halfmoon spacer (l) from the front facing
side of the handlebars and align the spacer with the cut out. Secure
the corresponding nut (m) on the bolt and secure using 2 wrenches.
Front Fenders & Hood
To install the fenders, one at a time, place each fender onto the fender
bracket with the mudguard at the rear. Align the fender so the inside
divot is on top of the axle nut and the 3 holes aligned with the threaded
holes on the bracket.
9

Please make sure the cable for the integrated LED lights is on the
outside of the bracket, not between the bracket and tire.
Attach each fender with bolts (h) in each of the 3 holes. Connect the
connector from the fender lights to one of the 3 connectors on the front
end.
To install the hood, first connect the light wire to the last remaining
connector, as making this connection is a bit more cumbersome after
the hood is installed. Align the hole on the front of the hood with the
front bracket and insert and finger tighten the bolt. (d).
