2. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to securely install your GIVI EASY-15 tunnel bag on your scooter:
- Positioning: Place the tunnel bag on the central tunnel of your scooter, ensuring it sits stably and does not obstruct controls or rider movement.
- Securing the Bag: The bag is attached to the scooter using one quick-release hook. Locate the two dedicated pockets on the bottom of the bag where the quick-release hook is stored.
- Connecting the Hook: Pass the quick-release hook through a suitable anchor point on your scooter (e.g., frame, footrest bracket) and secure it firmly. Ensure the strap is taut to prevent movement during travel.
- Base Reinforcement: The bag's base is reinforced with rigid plastic inserts to provide enhanced stability and durability, even when carrying uneven loads. Ensure the bag's base is fully supported by the scooter's tunnel.
