    I came across your videos by mistake so glad I found them I didn't realise there was so much to go wrong with the mobility scooter, so now I'm addicted to Your channel which I thoroughly enjoy and also the way you point out the things that are wrong and you don't make it look too difficult well done to you

    I'm slowly but surely catching up on your videos, having become a mobility scooter user, very straight, and well put forward information from yourself especially interested on the boot scooter as I have one of the gogo sport for shopping and a ranger 8xl for more challenging days lol.
    Thank you. Learnt a lot already 👍

    Thank you for the video, it was very helpful.
    My wife has a GoGo Elite Sport, which got caught in the rain for quite a while and stopped working.
    The battery box was full of water, so I dried it out and bought new batteries for it.
    The whole machine has been inside a warm room in the house for a good couple of months, so it should have all dried out by now.
    Thanks to your video, I tested the batteries and fuses and all work fine. Like you, I followed the trail up to the main power cable under the plastic facia cover on the front of the machine and power comes through at just over 27v.
    This is where I'm now stuck.
    I believe, like on your video, the problem will be the ignition barrel accessing water but I couldn't see what that yellow wire you used was or where to put each end of it to by-pass the ignition, like you did.
    Please could you clarify what wire I need to do this and where/how to test if it is, indeed, the ignition at fault?
    I will also need a new front facia which houses the horn button, as this has broken.
    Kind regards and thank you.

      Not much but It depends on make and model I would recommend using a waterproof cover if it heavy rain 🌧

    I often wondered if rain entering through the ignition lock would be a problem so this is very interesting. Is this the reason that the key provided with the Go-go has a plastic shroud around it so that water can't get into the lock itself? Obviously if you're using a simple key without this plastic surround, as shown in the video, water could get it in.

    Hi mate love your videos, hoping you can help me. I've got a mercury regatta mobility scooter, but lately its started to jerk when I go forward. Hope you can help in some way and because it's the same problem as my wifes scooter a rascal850, we were told it's the main controller board can it be the same for my mercury regatta. Thank you

    Could you make a video on using m18 milwaukee batteries? I put the the m18's in and the scooter just beeps for over voltage.

    • @tomjacques4
      @tomjacques4  3 года назад

      Lol lol I don’t understand why u would want to use those batteries 🔋 2 x 18 would give u 36 volts our scooters run on 24. Plus the current will not take you far lol 😂

    I have an Odessey Drive tat does not go. I have checked all connections and still nothing. When I turn the key to on position I hear a faint buzz sound . All the lights horn and turn signals work but the battery gauge does not light or does it not move. Any suggestions?

    A friend of mine asked me to look at his scooter. It is A dynamic model DK-PMB40, S/No l11102404. The flash code has 8 blinks. As I can't stand arrogant people most of the people I know have little money for repair, so they come to me when anything needs fixing. Any help figuring it out will be much appreciated.
