Make sure the tires are not excessively worn, do not have tears or cuts, are
properly seated on the rim and correctly inflated

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 2 or 3 times a week, clean your scooter weekly.
Ensure all caps covering electrical connectors are securely in place and the seat is
completely latched prior to cleaning. Always clean the scooter with care, the electrical
components don't take kindly to increased pressure water streams. A strong enough
water stream could breach the waterproof seals of the electrical components and even
force water into them and cause premature failure. Therefore, don't use aggressive
water sprays or power jets when washing the scooter and keep water away from the
battery/motor/brain module and other electrical components as possible.
Clean gently with a neutral soap and sponge or soft cloth removing any dirt, debris,
sand, mud, and grit that got caught on the scooter. Ensure the scooter is dry, after
cleaning or after getting wet riding in wet conditions. Always make sure the outer
casings of electric parts are dry and do not attempt to open them to clean inside. You
will, most likely, not be able to properly reseal the components which will lead to further
exposure to water.
