3. BEFORE RIDING
This manual describes the correct usage of this scooter including safety riding, simple inspection methods
and so on.
For a more comfortable and safety riding, please read this manual carefully.
For your benefit, please ask your dealer the operating manual and carefully read the
following:
 Correct use of the scooter.
 Pre-delivery inspection and maintenance.
Thank you very much for your patronage
In order to maximize your scooter’s performance, a periodical inspection and maintenance should be
completely carried out.
We recommend that after riding your new scooter for the first 300 kilometers, you should take your
scooter to the original dealer for an initial inspection, and to have your scooter inspected periodically
every 1000 kilometers thereafter.
 In case the scooter’s specifications and construction are modified and different from the photos and
diagrams on the owner’s manual / catalogues, the specifications and construction of the actual scooter
shall prevail.
4. SAFE RIDING
It is very important to be relax and clothe properly when driving, observe traffic regulations, do not rush,
always drive carefully and relaxed.
Usually, most people would ride their newly bought scooter very carefully, but after they became familiar
with their scooters, they tended to become reckless which may result in an accident.
To remind you:
 Please wear a safety helmet, and properly tighten the chin belt when riding a scooter.
 Clothes with open or loose cuffs may be blown by wind and cause the cuffs to get caught on the
steering handle and thus affects riding safety.
 So, put on clothes with tight sleeves.
 Hold the steering handle by both hands when riding. Never ride with only one hand.
 Observe the speed limit.
 Wear suitable low-heel shoes.
 Perform periodical maintenance and inspection in accordance with the schedule.
WARNING!!
 To avoid getting burned by exhaust pipe when taking a passenger. Make sure your passenger has
put his/her feet on the pedals.

After running, the exhaust pipe is very hot, be careful not to get burned when conducting an
inspection or maintenance.
 After running, the exhaust pipe is very hot, select a suitable location to park your scooter to avoid
others getting burned by the exhaust pipe.
CAUTION:
Modified scooter will affect its structure or performance, and cause poor engine operation or exhaust
noise, which will result in shortening the scooter’s service life.
Besides, modification is illegal and does not conform to the original design and specifications.
A modified scooter will not be covered by warranty, therefore, do not modify your scooter at will.

5. DRIVING
Keep the related parts of your body such as arms, palms, lumbar, and toes relax and ride with the most
comfortable posture in order to be able to react quickly whenever it is necessary.

Rider’s posture will greatly affect riding safety. Always keep your body’s gravity in the center of the
saddle, if your body’s gravity is on the rear part of saddle, the front wheel load will be reduced, and this
will cause the steering handle shaking. It is dangerous to ride a scooter with an unstable handle.

It will be much easier to make a turn if rider inclines his body inward when turning. On the other hand,
the rider will feel unstable if his body and the scooter do not incline.

The scooter is hard to control on a bumpy, unleveled, unpaved road, try to know the road conditions in
advance, slow down and use your shoulder’s force to control the handle.

Suggestion: Do not load objects on the front pedals unnecessarily, to avoid affecting the riding safety
and the operation of steering handle.
CAUTION:
The rider’s feeling on the handle is slightly different with a load or without a load.
Overload may cause the handle to swing and affects the riding safety.
Therefore, do not overload your scooter.
CAUTION:
 Do not place flammable materials such as rags between the body side cover and engine to avoid
components damaging by fire.

Do not load objects on areas not specified for loading to avoid damage.
SUGGESTION
To maximize the scooter’s performance and prolong its service life:
The first month or first 1000km is the wear- in period for the engine and components.
Avoid rapid acceleration, and keep the speed smoothly.
6. USE GENUINE SPARE PARTS
In order to maintain the scooter’s best performance, each part’s quality, material, and machined precision
must conform with the design requirements. “ Genuine Spare Parts” were made from the same
high quality materials used for the original scooter. No parts would be sold to the market until they could
meet the designed specifications through sophisticated engineering and stringent quality control.
Therefore, it is necessary to purchase “ Genuine Spare Parts” from “ Authorized Dealers or
Franchised Dealers” when replacing spare parts. If you buy cheap, or fake substitute parts from the
market, no guarantee can be provided either for the quality or durability. Also, it may result in unexpected
troubles and lower the scooter’s performance.

Always use TGB Genuine Spare Parts to keep your scooters pure blood and to ensure its long service life.
