Fantastic review kind regards from Uk and have a blessed Christmas sir!

I come to realize the formula in my previous comment is not even close as you stated . The Yuasa brand batteries that are most often use in my ATV/UTV service business do display AH and CCA both so you can look them up on parts websites to get reliable AH to CCA ratings . These numbers should be a good reference for most brands . I did not notice this at first because my attention was mainly with AH until I got my BT200 tester .Example Yuasa AGM 18AH - 270CCA

Any way to make the Victory 10 a bit faster?

What grade incline can this handle? What about bumpy grass?

I found a formula for conversion , AH x 7.2 = CCA

That back pouch is for your registration, insurance and your wheelchair ♿️ license 😂 lmao

Mine Has Oil And Not Grease And Is Leaking From The Zerk. What Oil Should I Use To Refill It? Thank You In Advance.

Nice little scooter, Good ground clearance. Say hi to your good lady and be lucky.

I know that most power wheelchairs can be programed in speed and sensitivity but have always heard that scooters cannot be programed differently than the way they come.....

Thats a pretty nice unit. I really like the new Golden seats!! They seem to be using that pattern on the Companion series as well.

Hi Ian!! Wanted to let you know that I was successful in grafting the 3-flat charger connector TO the generic charger in place of the 3 pin XLR connector. Really appreciate the info and even the wiring diagram!! (1st gen Golden Companion II)

thanks for the Review

I like the idea of your channel but it woul be nice if coul share what you are actually doin and explain the process. Thank

Very informative video. I have watched several of your videos. The Golden Companion transaxle twice and the Pride transaxle video also the Go-Go and The Dussenberg turd was also very good. You sure do a lot of little clean ups and shine for the customers who drop off scoots that look like they were just dug up from the bottom of lake Mead.. That extra care really is admirable. I own a Golden Companion three wheel scoot and a new e Wheels 11 sports scooter { looks like all the body parts are from a Yamaha Vino Molti scooter} I went to the Yamaha web site for parts and except for being a 50cc gas scooter and only two wheels they share a bunch of body and suspension parts including the Flower basket mounted above the low mount head light, I mention this because if you ever get an e-Wheels 11 in for repair you will find it almost impossible to get anything from the company. I Hope you will have the chance {or misfortune} to work on one so I can see what makes it tick. Any way. I am a big fan of your DIY show. Cheers!

Thanks , I may order the parts through you and try to do the repair in Oregon.

I’ve only had my lite rider about 20 months, had to get new batteries, it runs good so far. It was $1500, they’ve gone up since; , I might get a better bigger one, but I like the joystick, and short turn radius of the envy lite rider (300 lbs rating) for my small place .

Thanks for these informative videos Ian ! When I got my lite Rifer, , I did not anticipate golden’s reliance on 3rd party manufacturers. And it’s hard to know which are quality parts and not cheap unreliable knockoffs. The shops want 6 -8 weeks up here to schedule a repair. Mayb3 they can’t get spare parts either? So when I need a one, I’ll see if I can save by getting a part through you, and paying for trouble shooting. It’s seems that’s how golden makes money, making parts as much or more than a new scoot.

That brand is AWFUL CHEAP. I bought BRUNO. Thanks. For sharing. Great channel

thank you for all your videos. I have two elite travelers . I have had the trans-axle out of one to replace the drive bearings once, but now it sounds like the axle block bearings are bad. Do you have any idea what size the axle bearings are? I would like to order the bearings before I disassemble the scooter. I would like to press the old bearings out of the mounting block and replace them. Thanks again..

A little drag here and there that's not supposed to be there all adds up

I have some motors with brushes and a couple without brushes I do understand the difference Do you know whether or not I can swap them out with the same controller? I haven't looked yet to see if they will physically fit to the other transaxle I have one motor that's four pole and of course it's missing a brush I learned from your videos I've been fixing them now and collecting for about four years

Ian, you should be a pro wrestler !

I’d hate to see what that little tank did to the Tesla , lol

My son is in the Air Force, he got t boned , and now there’s a short in the electrical draining his Acura battery

RUclips is running ads every 2 minutes

That is a chunky little unit

He’s worn the tread down on those tires

Man that guy put a recliner on that unit !

You work hard , good job

I just got done building one of those using chair motors in the rear

Loving your videos, very informative, also I like the fact that you don't go for ball games, and that you're a music lover, what music are you in to?

I hope you sell it and make your money back. Cheers from PHX

Long time no see .. a guy gave me a pride victory 10 4 wheel scooter with a bad motor and I had a practically brand new j a z z y power chair. I made the motors from the power chair onto the back of the scooter and it works perfect

Hi, just seen this video, very useful information for my wife's go-go. Looking at that wheel keyway I was wondering if it might be an idea to get a local machine shop or hobby machinist to run you up a few woodruff keys with the top flat part a few thou wider than the bottom rounded part for if you get another one like that?

I’m hoping to save everything els3 when it’s time for a new motor, but can’t wait 2 months for a repair

I really enjoy watching you recondition, that Go-Go Sport. As I have one here in, Pahrump Nevada. It's sick. It's old. It's beat to death. It was running for me now it's not. And I believe it to be a bad cable in the tiller. I thought it was just the contacts on the connectors. Apparently not. Except the elbow. From the vertical tiller. To the under horizontal. Right there at that 90° turn of the cable. The internal wires have gone bad. I'll have to replace the entire cable on mine. I thought some cleaning and re-soldering would do the trick. Nope. It doesn't generally go bad, metal wires. But they can from, Metal fatigue. Not having any money or a slush fund to pay for repairs. Presents a greater challenge. Especially with my brain surgery 19 years ago. I can't do what I once did for a career living. It looks like you did a great job reconditioning that, GO-GO SPORT. Mine is much older and much more worn out. The tires have no more tread they are bald. These are solid rubber tires. These are not pneumatic tires. And the tires have no tread. I've never seen one out, hard rubber tires like this, before. Basically on a lawnmower. This must have carried some truly fat people. It does not appear to have been, in a flood, ever. Though it looks like it has been in a, hack attack, through the years. With many busy sets of fingers. And leaving out half of the screws. Half the screws are missing. The tiller control plastic surface has been badly busted. No key switch. Replaced with a toggle switch. No security. No one but him. Just a gaping broken plastic. Where the button and ignition key switch once resided. So it looks like this upside down, down the stairs or something? How else would you break the top of the tiller?. Unless this along with the occupant. Went falling down stairs? And they died? And then it got passed on to somebody else. I do not know? You see the damnedest destruction. Since this is my first, Pride Mobility, GO-GO SPORT, mobility scooter in my life. As a retired, broadcast engineer. With major traumatic brain damage. I'm not quite the same as I used to be. Thinking about it is one thing. Doing it is something totally different. My brain does not coordinate with anymore. It has become extremely stressful. After a lifetime of enjoying doing it. And my, neurologists and neurosurgeon told me. I would never make a full recovery. And I better get used to it. I still haven't gotten used to it. 19 years later on. It's very frustrating. Not to have personally gotten back to the way I once was. It's stress fully, frustrating. I know it's all lousy broken contacts, broken stressed wires and intermittency's. It's definitely like an old car, jalopy. Like the vehicle, on the Beverly Hillbilly's. You just have to know where to kick it. If you're lucky. So your video was, very helpful and well laid out. You, took things, further than I have thus far. Great to see your in-depth approach. And you said the unit smelled foul. So maybe in a very, sewage oriented backup? Maybe she pooped in her pants, regularly? And infused that aroma into the entire, mobility scooter? As it, had that dead old lady smell. She probably had been pooping and whizzing in her bloomers, regularly? And trickled down, throughout the mobility scooter. When her basement apartment filled up with sewage. And the mobility scooter got her through. So now it smells funny. LOL But you don't have a good feeling when you've finished a good restoration. And just want to get that smell out of your shop. And it burnt your nostril hairs. I know. That is a very satisfying video. Thank you for your in-depth look into a restoration of a Pride Mobility, GOGO SPORT. I would order that your used and reconditioned, GO-GO SPORT. But I'm in Pahrump Nevada. And it sounds like you are in, Australia or England? And is a bit far for me. Shipping would be far too expensive. Coming to you from your, limey English accent. All the way to, Pahrump Nevada. I also never knew. That the UK also had a, Las Vegas? Complete with hillbilly Caucasian women. I mean who knew? Yes that is the exact unit I have. Getting parts from the factory is impossible. They send you to a third party company. That's not the way to do it. That's being given the runaround. So all the parts are obviously from China. But the third-party company tells me. They have to get it from the factory. Which will send them the parts. They mark up, 50% and sell to you. Yet it's not the 1960s nor the 70s, anymore. We pretty much did away with the middleman. About 40 years ago. When laws were passed to prevent such, folderol. And now it's back to take advantage of the elderly and disabled. The most vulnerable. As I see it. These battery-operated mobility carts. Should cost between 100 and $500 US. Should be offered by the major bicycle manufacturers. As they are simply 3 or 4 wheeled, battery-operated and motor driven, bicycles. Designed for handicapped people. And are built like a cheap electric bicycle. And made out of much cheaper Chinese components. Not made by Schwinn, Raleigh, Trek. That will last for a 50-100 years. With virtually no maintenance. Except for the rubber tires and tubes. But these have solid tires. That can almost, never wear down. As they have no shock absorbing resilience to begin with. Yet the tires on this one are all bald. And I think it doesn't do, very well at the drag strip? With a, 5 mph, top speed, mobility scooter? But it does have virtually instant torque. To get you up and into that, crosswalk and mowed down. Buy a car. There will always be those. As I do think, invalids. Getting killed in crosswalks. Has always been short, sweet and funny. Funny for the invalid. Thinking... and I had to die, this way? In my battery-operated mobility scooter? Try crossing at, intersections. On the wrong, green light. And whoops. Splat! But you'll go out in style with a Pride Mobility Death Scooter. I want one. Now I have a broken one. I will have to make work again. But I will probably replace it with a shiny new one. Then I'll fix that one up. But it's an old clunker. Likely one of the first delivered. It's in rough shape overall. Likely excessively costly to repair. Has something is also wrong with the gearing. When in freewheeling mode, gear. You start pushing it and within about 20 feet. The electromagnetic brakes come on. But it's in freewheeling mode. And the brakes are on. Shove it back and forth. Flip the gear shifter back and forth. You are now back in freewheeling mode. And about 30 feet away. The brakes come back on. It's still in freewheeling gear. The brakes are on. Yes it's getting rough. Like an old jalopy. It was probably one of the first? The sticker with the serial number is illegible. Maybe it was originally stolen? And passed around to other old folks. I do not now? Now it's in my possession. It was gifted to me. Nonfunctioning. I got it to work. It worked reliably for a week and a half. Now nothing. The batteries are well charged. Battery indication looked good on the tiller gauge. The batteries are not the problem. (More Petri Dishes in the following post)

Now why the electromagnetic brakes are coming on in freewheeling mode? Sounds like it's time to get junked? As these are the most important components of the unit. The motor drive axle and tiller control. Nothing much to it. Nothing much to go wrong. The wiring all sucks. The Taiwanese parts are all, from China! And therein lies the problem. Emperor She. Does not want to have an abortion. Because he is a man. But he is a named She and Emperor for Life. He has declared himself. Isn't that nice of him? Chinese need to follow one supreme command leader. Their little Chinese brains. Can only invent the noodle. And fireworks to burn down the house with. But of course. What would you expect from the Chinese? Or the, Taiwanese? Aren't they a lot like Chinese? What's the difference? What speaks Mandarin. The other one speaks Cantonese. I don't care I can't speak nor understand either one? I just know anything is crap coming from there. They have no quality control, whatsoever. It's because they have, slanting eyes. They can't drive well. When it's not their fault. It's God's fault. I mean wouldn't you hate it. That anytime you looked in the mirror. Some Chinese guy is always looking at you. I would think it could be unnerving, to any, person? And probably happens to Chinese folks and most Asians every day? And what do you do? Yet I do not have the, proboscis. The schnoz. Or that New York City accent. To determine I am, Jewish. So I fool, everybody. Fake, everybody out. Whereas I'm just a, Jewish high school hillbilly dropout, from Detroit. Who made it to a respectable, CIA cleared, profession. Called a Washington DC Network Television Broadcaster. Ace Engineer. As, RCA/NBC. Only hired. The best engineers in the world. And we all knew we were in elite class of, engineers. Which all came with much honor and responsibility. I worked amongst, no fakes. No snake oil, charlatans like Donald Trump. Who just did what to our country? Praising Nazi generals? And then everybody likes him? What is there to like? But he's a charming individual. To, other misogynists. I guess? He is so damned boorish. So incredibly, ill mannered. He has no presidential decorum. He doesn't know what decorum, means? And the POTUS is not a standup comedian. Until now. And I'm even more worried. When Donnie keels over dead. JD Vance and even more maniacal predator. Becomes POTUS. These smiling, leering, Yale and Harvard grads. They want to re-create the USA in their image. Because our founding fathers didn't do it right! The side on the unethical. The only side that can make money. But smart asses from, Yale Jail and Harvard, know how to. Destroy the USA for their own, religious extremist, anti-everybody, anti-American, platform. Takes over. With Project 2025. The Nazi nation for the North American continent. Once called the USA. Now called, the United Trumps of, Merica. And it will be like one big old country club party every day. For the wealthiest on the planet. Who won't have to pay any taxes, ever, again. Because it will be fixed. So you can have wealth without taxes. As all of the people you hire will pay the taxes. And as he will charge a 20% tariffs on, Chinese products in the USA. To, financially punish the Chinese. Right here in America. Along with the rest of us. That will make up the difference in tax revenues. The wealthy and big business conglomerates will not have to pay for. Because that's what Americans want for the wealthy white elitist class of commercial robbers. It's all going to turn out perfectly. You wait and see. In which Eastern Bloc country we escape to? What's Edward Snowden doing these days? Did he get to vote? In whose elections? Isn't he innocent until proven guilty? Aren't I also? What's going to happen for the next two 4 years? How much damage will be inflicted? How was this allowed to happen? Who is responsible for this? Where does it say, in our Constitution a, Felonious Dictator, could take over? Where? Because hate filled Nazis want a dictator on their side? And that's a democracy? To elect a dictator? No no no. They got that wrong. No it's about, issuing more freedoms. Not taking them away. We are not going back even if he is. The USA has been taken over by a Nazi uprising. The German American Bund. It's the Germans. They keep creating these world wars. And they don't have to be in Germany. One was 1862 in the USA. After that came Russia and China. Israel and Egypt. Africa and Africans. Of the apartheid party. Where slavery hangover. Continued on unabated. Until Elon Mosque, figured out how to accept credit cards for eBay. Genius! What a genius! Who would have ever thunk how to do that? And for that he should be made the wealthiest man in the world. Then Jeffrey Bozzo. For selling paperback books, on the Internet. And I thought how stupid? How are you going to make any money doing that? I mean it was just a song by the Beatles. It's not for real. Right? How do you go from selling paperback books to putting the virtually every business in the USA out of business? And will possibly put Wal-Mart and Target out of business. All stores closed. Distribution centers only. Everything delivered by battery-operated drones. In 30 minutes or less or it's free. We would have to vote, anymore. The government will now be run by, Artie Fecal, intelligence. Artie is a great guy. Just not much in the way of IQ. And our government will now be run by Artie Fecal. Who will take over. So Donnie can run the government by remote control while golfing. Maybe this time around. He will tear down all of those stupid museums. Been there for over 100 years. And turn it into a new exclusive golf course. With beautiful white marble, residential overnight facilities. At a Faction, of a cost. From the original Syndicate. You'll have to pay into for protection. Because if you don't? What's to become of us all over the next 4 or, 1000 years? RemyRAD

On the scooters and powerchairs that I refurbish I use a level to level the arm rests.

Plenty of foot plates always on Ebay Ian.

Nice one Ian. That's an easy $ 600 there when you consider what new one comes out at. Have two been celebrating this week.Say hi to Jenny and be lucky.

thank you for the video

I have a scooter with 2 baterries of 12V and 12Ah each which means 24V..I'm not sure what charger should I use to charge them regarding the amp (written on each "less than 3.8 amp") .Thank you

ราคาท่อใดบักฝรั่งเอ้ย😅

I like the joystick models, leaning forward to steer is a bit of a challenge with my disability.

It’s not portable Unless you don’t need it !

What mobility scooter has the fewest repairs ?

What is the most common issue you see with golden envy lite riders ? Can you run them on wet pavement ?

thanx this just worked for my dads scooter saved us a fortune he was going to get a new one

I have the current Vive model of this and overall we are fairly happy with it. It comes apart easily & the heaviest part is the battery at 34 lbs, which is good. Truthfully, we find it narrow and agile in tight spaces. Cons for us: my thumb gets tired of being on the throttle. Our only real problem with it: the battery does not seat well at all when you're trying to reassemble the scooter. Takes numerous tries for my husband to get it to fit right. It just doesn't want to get seated in its spot tho he does it as demonstrated. Husband sits on the edge of the SUV's trunk to assemble and take it apart. He's tall enough to not need to sit on the floor.😊

Nice video, are there any compatible tires for the Pride Victory scooter on the market? Because the original ones cost a lot. Thanks
