Maintenance and Care
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 streams. 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.
Don't leave the scooter out in the rain or snow: store it somewhere dry and out of direct
sunlight (which can cause problems if the battery overheats)
Don't open up casings, chargers, etc. You are unlikely to be able to reseal them
effectively, making them more susceptible to water damage.
Lubrication
After cleaning, it is also advisable to lubricate the chain, levers, derailleur, cables, etc. A
clean, lubricated e-scooter tends to be faster, smoother and quieter. It's like having a
little extra push for free.
A lubricant should be applied on all moving and/or rubbing components such as: axles,
bushings, free wheels etc. approximately every 6 months (more often under heavy or
bad weather use)
