thanks for your help, I don't post a lot on message boards so if my posts leave important information out or seems silly please forgive me. Nothing works on the scooter. No horn, no lights, no motor, nothing. It worked fine until my daughter left it out in a wind storm and it fell over. It fell...

I haven't posted her in a long time. You guys were very helpful the last time I had problems and I am hoping you can help me again. I have an old Gio PB 710 scooter. It has stopped working. I am pretty sure it's a short or bad wire somewhere. Previous owner had done a lot of rewiring and not a...

I am looking for a double kickstand for my daughter's scooter. It has the single one but it keeps falling over if it is at all windy. Would like to try the double stand. We bought the scooter second hand and I didn't realize it was missing the stand until long after we had it home. I've looked...

thanks, I hope to get the cover off and look at the wires in the next day or two. Can't be too serious as it works as long she isn't making a sharp left hand turn. She really likes the scooter and the fact is doesn't burn gas is important to her :wink:

my daughter has a GIO PB 710. Worked great up until last fall. Before putting it way for the winter I am afraid it fell over a couple of times (the person who sold it to me didn't have the big kickstand installed, just the leaning one). Now when she drives it the scooter beeps and power dies...

Hi all, I am wondering if anyone can give me an suggestions on where to buy parts for my Gio PB710. I'd like to deal with a Canadian company if at all possible. It would be great to hear peoples opinions on different companies. Right now the first thing I'm looking for is the wiring to and...

another update: I put a 30amp fuse in, it was a 25 amp but I found on other forums about fuses blowing after boosting controller and they all suggested getting a 30 amp fuse. It's running again, I took it for a minute drive just to see if it ran and it did. My daughter won't have time until...

yes that was a typo, it is a 48v controller. Thanks for the explaining the multimeter, now I know what I was doing wrong, I was setting the multimeter to 20v as that is what I was shown for one battery, not knowing what the 20 stood for, just told to do that. Knowledge is a wonderful thing. Now...

update: while hunting around a couple of different forums, I found that the PB710 has a fuse in the battery case, checked and it's blown. Hope that's it. If you think I have other issues please let me know, wouldn't be surprised if it's just not this fuse. I will get one tomorrow after work...

two steps forward and one step backwards. I need more help. I got 12 gauge wire (couldn't find 10 but from what I can see, the scooter uses 12 anyway). rewired the splitter harness. Charged the batteries. Gave it a try. After a few minutes of me testing it I got my daughter to try. she went...

"bad" as in damaging to the scooter or "bad" as in that is why her speed went down instead of up?

so I connected the 5th battery as per that forum post I shared earlier, though I didn't use as strong as wire as he suggested as I didn't have any on hand and didn't get a chance to buy any yet. My daughter took it for a test drive and said she thought it was even slower than before (the pb710...

I have read a lot of forums about adding the 5th battery and everyone seems to say it works ok with the Gio PB710 and it's controller, haven't seen anyone yet say it fried their controller. If anyone knows if this will or won't work with the Gio PB710 please let me know. I haven't connected it...

see this is why one asks questions, I assumed because the 5th battery wasn't connected directly to the other 4 batteries that the charger wouldn't reach the 5th battery, but I apparently was wrong. I definitely will look at upgrading my charger. The reason I was looking at that CTC charger for...

please forgive my lack of knowledge, I am working on changing that. I have a used Gio PB710. Adding a 5th battery for speed and distance. I plan on following the following link to add the 5th battery to the scooter: http://www.giobikes.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=3919 . I am pretty sure I can...
