4. BEFORE YOU BEGIN

5. OPENING THE BOX

Please read and understand this manual prior to using your Stigo for the

ﬁrst time. There are many cautions and warnings, which, if ignored, may

increase the risk of damaging the Stigo, cause injuries or invalidate the

warranty.

This manual was written to help you achieve optimal performance, com-

fort, enjoyment and safety when riding your Stigo scooter. The manual

describes care, maintenance and usage procedures that ensure years of

trouble-free riding and keep the product covered by warranty. It is impor-

tant to understand your new Stigo scooter, its features and its operation, to

acheive maximum enjoyment with maximum safety. By reading this

manual before riding your Stigo scooter for the ﬁrst time, you will know

how to get the most from your Stigo. It is also important that your ﬁrst ride

on a Stigo scooter is taken in a controlled environment, away from traﬃc

and obstacles.

Riding a Stigo or any other electric vehicle involves the risk of damage to

the Stigo, injury or death, particularly if use of the vehicle takes place in

busy urban environment. Please understand these risks and carefully read

the manual to help prevent accidents. Please do not attempt to use the

Stigo beyond the limits of your ability or those of the product itself.

Remove the contents from the box. Remove any separators that protect

the components from damage during shipping. Inspect the contents of the

box for visual defects that may have occurred during shipping. As the Stigo

was 99% assembled (except for the mirror) and carefully packed at the

factory there should not be any problems, even if the box arrives slightly

damaged.

The only assembly required by you is installing the mirror that should not

take more than a few minutes. If you do not feel conﬁdent doing it yourself,

please seek assistance from a service specialist.

display lights up.

The Stigo scooter has a twist throttle that is located on the right hand

grip. To start moving, twist the throttle backwards, towards you. You

control the throttle by twisting it towards yourself. The further you twist,

the more power is applied. To slow down, simply release the throttle to

rotate it back towards its resting position.

charging level. There are a total of 8 LEDs indicating the battery level and the

last LED will turn red when battery is critically low.

Observe the charging

indicator light on the

charger. Red light indicates

that the battery is charging.

Once the indicator light on

the charger turns green,

the battery is full.

First unplug the charger from the wall

outlet and then from the bike.

Put back the protective rubber cap.

Check and maintain your Stigo scooter:

The Stigo should be maintained and repaired in accordance to the manufactur-

er’s speciﬁcations, using only original spare parts, and should never be modi-

ﬁed.

Make safety your ﬁrst priority by ensuring that your Stigo scooter is in good

working order. Visual and mechanical checks are outlined below and should

always be performed prior to riding. In case worn parts or other technical

issues are found during your inspection, do not ride your Stigo scooter until the

problem has been addressed.

Please do not use the Stigo if you believe that it is not functioning properly

or it might be damaged in any way.

13. PRE-RIDE INSTRUCTIONS

Brakes:

Pull the brake levers individually while pushing the Stigo scooter to

see if it rolls. You should be able to lock-up the wheels completely

by applying the brakes.

Throttle:

With the ON/OFF switch in the OFF position, fully twist the throttle

and release to verify that the throttle is smooth and returns correctly.

Lights:

Check that the lights are operating properly. Pull the brakes to see

if the brake light is working.

Tires:

Check both tires for condition and tread depth. Check the tire pres-

sure frequently. Maintain correct tire pressure as indicated on the

sidewall of the tires.

14. IMPORTANT COMPONENTS

14.1 BRAKES

To adjust the brake lever throw, turn the brake cable adjuster in or out until

the desired brake adjustment is attained. The adjuster for the front brake

is located on the brake cable guide (noodle) and for the rear brake it is

located on the brake caliper. As seen on the images below. If the brakes

require further adjustment, visit a qualiﬁed service specialist to do so.

Your Stigo scooter is equipped with a disc brake for maximum reliability

and eﬃciency. Applying hand pressure to the brake lever will cause the

brake pads to apply friction against the brake rotor, slowing down the

wheel. The more pressure applied, the faster it will come to a stop. Once

you have eased oﬀ the throttle, pull the brake lever towards you to slow

down and stop. The rear brake is capable of locking the wheel and throwing

an unsuspecting rider oﬀ balance. Practice in an open area free from

obstacles until you are familiar with the brake functions. Avoid skidding the

tires, as this can cause you to lose control and/or damage the tires.

In the event that an emergency stop is required, apply both brakes in a safe

and controlled way until you have brought the Stigo to a complete stop. Do

not release the brakes until it is safe to do so.

14.3 CHARGER

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to adhere to the warn-

ings and instructions may result in an electric shock, ﬁre and/or serious

injury. Save all safety warnings and instructions for future reference. Keep

the charger away from moisture. The penetration of water into a battery

charger increases the risk of electric shock. Only charge your Stigo scooter

using the original charger. Keep the battery charger clean. Dirt or oxidation

can lead to short circuit or the danger of an electric shock. Before each use,

check the battery charger, cable and plug. If damaged, do not use the

battery charger.

Never open the battery charger yourself. Have repairs performed only by a

qualiﬁed technician using original spare parts. Damaged battery chargers,

cables and plugs increase the risk of an electric shock. Do not operate the

battery charger on easily inﬂammable surfaces (e. -g., paper, textiles, etc.)

or surroundings. The battery charger heats up while charging, which is

normal. Be aware of the heat, as it can pose a ﬁre hazard. The battery can

emit vapors or smoke in case of a damaged and improperly used battery

pack. Ventilate the rooms and seek medical attention in the event of com-

plaints. The vapors can irritate the respiratory system. Never try to charge

a damaged battery pack.

Supervise children at all times to ensure that they do not play with the

charger. Children or persons that, owing to their physical, sensory or

mental limitations or their lack of experience or knowledge, are not capable

of securely operating the charger may only use this charger under supervi-

14.2 KICKSTAND

Using the kickstand – fold it out of its resting position all the way; then

support the bike on it and make sure it stands safely. Once you lift the Stigo

scooter to a vertical position, the kickstand will automatically fold. Please

note that it is a safety feature!

The kickstand might not prevent the Stigo electric scooter from falling. It

depends on wind and the surface on which the Stigo is standing on. The

kickstand is not designed to be used while someone is sitting on the Stigo

electric scooter. Please be aware that even with the kickstand applied the

Stigo scooter can still fall over and get damaged or cause injuries.

sion or after having been instructed by a responsible person. Otherwise,

there is danger of errors and injuries when operating.

Always connect the charger to the bike ﬁrst and then plug the charger into

a standard 100-240V wall outlet. Check to ensure that the LED light on the

charger lights up. The LED light on the charger will turn from red to green

once the Stigo is fully charged. Once charging is completed, unplug the

charger from the wall outlet and then from the bike. Do not leave a fully

charged bike connected to the charger, this will damage the batteries and

can cause a ﬁre hazard. Never charge lithium batteries unattended.

Your batteries capacity will decrease over time. However, it your battery

does not hold suﬃcient charge even for a short trip, contact your Stigo

dealer or reseller to order a replacement. The charger supplied with your

Stigo scooter should be regularly examined for damage to the cord, plug

and other parts. In the event of damage, do not use the charger until the

charger has been repaired or replaced. If the charger emits unusual

sounds or odors, stop using it immediately and contact our customer

service.

Observe the mains voltage! The voltage must correspond with the data

given on the nameplate of the battery charger.
