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 modified.
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 pressure 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 complaints. 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.
14.4 FRAME AND FRAME NUMBER
Each Stigo has a unique VIN (vehicle identification number). It is pressed
into the right side of the head tube of the bike as well as on a silver label
riveted to the bottom side of the main frame. This number is required
when you need to make a warranty claim.
The Stigo frame is made of 6061 aluminum. It is covered with several layers
of bicycle paint and clear coat. Some of the main joints are anodized.
Abusive or careless use can accelerate the wear and tear of components
(off-road use, jumping, stunt riding, skidding, etc.). As a result, sudden and/
or premature failure of some components may occur without warning and
there may be a risk of injury. If the Stigo has been damaged (besides light
cosmetic scratches), dented, bent, cracked or damaged in any other way,
do not use the Stigo until it has been checked by an authorized service
center.
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.
14.5 BATTERIES
The Stigo uses one or two lithium-ion batteries, depending on the model
you have. Read carefully the information about the battery for safe usage.
It is not permitted to use the batteries supplied with the Stigo in any other
product. They have been designed for the use of the Stigo only. Do not
remove the battery from the Stigo. Only approved service centers should
remove the batteries, if needed. It is also not permitted to disassemble or
modify the batteries.
The batteries must not be exposed to high temperatures or fire. Do not
short circuit or modify the batteries in any way. Moisture can damage the
batteries and cause corrosion or overheating, igniting or leaking. Do not
expose the Stigo batteries to moisture or water.
Do not try to use any aftermarket charger with the Stigo. Aftermarket charg-
ers may damage the batteries or cause injuries, fire or electric shock.
Never charge lithium batteries unattended.
The Stigo uses lithium-ion batteries, which do not last forever, and will deteriorate over time. The batteries begin to degrade from the point of manufacturing. This is due to a chemical reaction inside the battery and gradually
it causes the internal impedance of the cells to increase, which causes the
battery to hold less charge. A new battery always performs better than an
old one.
The blue LED markers on the display show the remaining capacity of the
batteries. Once the battery level has dropped below 30%, recharge as soon
as possible. You should never leave a bike in storage with an empty battery.
Long term storage without recharging the battery can cause the battery to
discharge too low and cause the battery protection electronics to lock up. A
deep discharged battery cannot be recharged and needs to be taken to an
official service center to be repaired or replaced. To avoid this, the battery
of a Stigo bike needs to be fully charged before storage and fully recharged
every two months, even if the bike is not being used.
A deep discharged battery is not covered under warranty.
Do not store in below freezing temperatures.
15. SAFETY AND WARNINGS - MODIFICATIONS AND RIDING
IN ICY/ WET CONDITIONS
Please note: This manual is not intended as a detailed service, repair or main-
tenance manual. Seek professional assistance from a qualified technician for
service, repairs or maintenance. The Stigo is mainly developed and designed
for commuting and/or riding in good weather. Please choose safe riding
speed that is appropriate for traveling in an urban or sub-urban environment. The warranty will be invalidated if the riding style is abusive.
It is prohibited to modify the Stigo in ANY WAY. The warranty will be void once
any unauthorized modifications are done to the bike. Any modifications
done by users can cause damage, which can increase the risk of accidents or
failures. Painting can hide structural damage (such as fatigue cracks), which
may cause accidents.
The stopping power of the brakes and tires is greatly reduced under snowy,
icy, cold and/or wet conditions. Traction, braking and visibility are impaired
and the risk of accidents is higher than in good weather conditions. Use with
utmost care in bad weather conditions and please be aware that the tires of
Disposal: Your Stigo scooter uses sealed
lithium-ion batteries, which must be recycled
or disposed of in an environmentally safe
manner according to the local laws.

12 1/2 x 1.75. Make sure that the tires are inflated to the correct pressure
shown on the sidewall of the tire. All tires used on the Stigo have to correspond to type approval for mopeds.
the Stigo are not designed for slippery conditions. It is not recommended to
use the product in rain or wet conditions. If the Stigo gets wet, dry it with a
soft microfiber towel or compressed air as soon as you stop riding.
Never use headphones or a mobile phone while riding the Stigo. Please also
note that the Stigo e-scooter rides much quieter than other motorized
vehicles. Use care when in the vicinity of pedestrians or others who may have
difficulty hearing your approach. When needed, use the horn to warn other
road users.
The terms “right” or “left” refer to the rider’s right or left when sitting on the
Stigo. Maintain a hold on the handlebars at all times. Do not twist the throttle
unless you are on the product and in a suitable safe environment.
Keep this product away from small children and remember that this product
is only intended for use by persons who are completely comfortable and
competent to operate the product.
Always check and adhere to any local laws or regulations that may affect the
locations where the Stigo scooter may be used. Maintain a safe distance
from cars and other traffic at all times, and only use where permitted and
with caution.
Riding an electric scooter does present potential risks and caution is
required. As with any such product, an electric scooter has inherent hazards
associated with its use (such as falling off or crashing into something). Like
any similar product, electric scooters can move and are intended for mobility
and it is therefore possible to lose control or otherwise get into dangerous
situations. Both children and the adults responsible for supervising them
must recognize that if such things occur, a rider can be seriously injured or
die, even when using safety equipment and other precautionary measures.
Do not place your feet in front of the footrests while riding a Stigo or while
sitting on it. By placing your feet in front of the footrests you might get
injured. USE THE PRODUCT AT YOUR OWN RISK AND PLEASE USE COMMON
SENSE.
Improper use, storage, handling or disposal of a battery or the charger can
result in fire, electrocution, serious injury or even death. To reduce the risk of
ignition or explosion, always ensure adequate ventilation and keep away
from inflammable materials when using the charger. Turn the Stigo e-scooter
off before charging.
Always wear proper protective equipment, including an approved safety
helmet. Helmets may be legally required by local law in your area. Follow the
helmet manufacturer’s instructions for fitting, use and care of your helmet.
We recommend wearing a long-sleeved shirt, long pants and gloves to minimize injury in the case of an accident. Do not use the product when barefoot
or in open-toe shoes. Be sure to keep your shoelaces tied and out of the way,
so they do not get caught in the wheels.
Do not let your mobile phone, headphones or anything else distract you
from paying full attention to your operation of your Stigo scooter. Your insurance policies may not provide cover for accidents involving the use of a Stigo
scooter/electric ride-on product. To determine if coverage is provided, you
should contact your insurance company or agent.
Depending on the model, the top speed of this scooter will be approximately
25 km/h (15 mph), which can be affected by conditions such as rider weight,
inclines, tire pressure and battery charge level. Avoid going downhill at excessive speeds. The bike is not designed for speeds greater than 30 km/h (19
mph) and it is easy to lose control when going too fast. Maintain a firm grip
on the handlebars at all times. Do not touch the brakes or motor of your
scooter when in use or immediately after use, as these parts can become
very hot. Use cautiously. Watch out for potential obstacles that could catch
your wheel or force you to swerve suddenly or lose control.
The Stigo scooter is intended for use on flat, dry surfaces, such as pavement
or level ground, that are free of loose debris, sand, leaves, rocks or gravel.
Wet, slippery, bumpy, uneven or rough surfaces may impair traction and
contribute to possible accidents. Do not ride your scooter in mud, ice,
puddles or water. Avoid sharp bumps, drainage grates and sudden surface
changes. Do not attempt or do stunts or tricks on your Stigo scooter. The
scooter is not made to withstand abuse from misuse, such as jumping, curb
grinding or any other type of stunts. Racing, stunt riding or other maneuvers
also enhance the risk of a loss of control, or they may cause uncontrolled
rider actions or reactions.
