Looking for some experience in using Bondo to repair the attached piece of plastic. Right now the 2 pieces of plastic are held in place with aluminum AND a backing of plastic from a $ store tub. I wanted to get the basic Bondo kit and fill in the gaps between them (sand smooth and paint). I...

That looks similar to "bondic" which I have, but I find it isn't very strong.

I am wondering what the suggestion is for fixing plastic molding on escooters? I know you can use a soldering iron to heat and fix that way, but I was also thinking about epoxies like JB weld etc. Does anyone have some experiences fix plastic molding that has cracks in it? Breaks?

It is high gear/ low gear

I am unsure what this button is for. I am not sure if it was custom or part of the original bike? Pressing the button doesn't seem to do anything - I have tried it with the lights on etc, but I can't seem to figure it out. I have tried to ask the original owner, but he is not longer responding...

I figured it out and now they are working.

Possible grounding issue for lights/bulbs - what should I look for? Gio escooter/ebike I purchased a couple 194 T10 wedge bulbs for testing purposes. I attached them to my bike and they worked, but they are not very bright. I attached the bulbs to three different locations on the bike to test -...

My Gio ebike/escooter bulbs are burnt out - yes all of them. I need to replace all of the bulbs listed below : 1) 4 x Turn signals front and back - 12V 3W Y (amber colour) - wedge mount Does the colour of the lights matter (they are behind a red plastic cover)? Can I get white ones that are...

I just ordered a new one today, this way I can start eliminating possibilities. If it works, than great - if it doesn't. More research has to be done.

Yeah I'm finding that testing the actual unit is beyond my simple knowledge of this thing. I suppose I could open it up and test that way but after testing the front signal right turn, it was outputting a voltage of 0.025. My guess is that is not very much. Going to test other lights today but...

Here is the pic of the converter I have removed from the bike. It is an older GIO - I don't know the model or year. What works : -The throttle, back wheel turns -The batteries / charger -The horn - barely, makes a quack (I have watched other videos and the horn sounds different on a bike that...

I figured it out. The charger I bought with the bike was the culprit. I lined up the red with positive and the black with negative on the barrel socket connector and used the new charger - worked perfect!

Two questions surrounding the charger and the polarity. 1) Ok, I ordered a new charger for my Gio escooter/ebike - it is arriving today (at some point). The polarity of the new charger seems to be the exact polarity of the old charger (see first 2 pics - first pic is the new charger, the...

I'm going to try it for a year first and i might move to that.

if you wouldn't mind explaining - why would some of the polarity be mixed up on some cables?

Yes I've been looking into those but they are not cost effective for me presently. I also don't know if this "used" bike/scooter will last more than a year and it's a DIY project so I'm just feeling my way thru as economically as I can right now.

Great, that makes me feel better.

Ok so the picture, even though it says the positive to positive, it's still wrong?

I am in the market for a new charger. I found one online that has the same female end - 48V charger. When I asked about using the charger with a GIO someone said that they had "reverse" polarity and it would blow my batteries. I checked my charger (the one that doesn't work) and it has the...

Ok thanks for the tip on the controller.
