Hello, so I need some help figuring out how to have my motor move in a 60v battery pack, so everything is functional at 48v but when i add one more 12v battery for 60v the lights on the throttle still show, it turns on and everything bu it don't engage the motor at all,so i revert back to 48v and it all works fine. Is there something in my controller limiting voltage or a wire i can undo?

Does it have a display? If so, there is probably a menu to choose the voltage it runs at.
Otherwise, it might be a factory setup option for what voltage it runs at (regardless of what's engraved on it). That could be a software setup (that only the factory can change) or a hardware jumper (or resistor) soldered on the internal board.
I bet that’s it (so if it was converted to lithium ion, 14S could be used). Looking at the replacement controller on the Gio site, it looks like 48v nominal, and pics from google all show 48v.
There's a slight chance your controller did not fry... The controller on my 48v eMoped has a 100V caps, but it also featured overvoltage protection (61V max). I recommend using a decent controller off a eBike/eScooter (more power, smaller, cheaper).
