I am offering 12v 20Ah battery packs and the installation for any Electric Scooter. It increases the speed by 25% (60v instead of 48v. Makes riding these things much more enjoyable, it will allow a bike that does 32kmh to go 40kmh.

12v 20Ah (Gio 500+) SLA batteries with Installation and 6 months warranty - $120

12v 12Ah (Gio 500w) also available with everything for $100

Electronic transmission 2nd gear (Ratio - 1.73:1)
Delta-Wye Gear installation - $150

I am an electronics engineering student and have much experience with BLDC controllers and motors. My personal Gio 500+ is running at 72v (2 extra 12v) with a 42A controller. When fully charged it puts out 3.5kW (3500W) into the stock 800w motor and does over 75km/h with a two speed electronic transmission. If you're interested in a more extensive upgrade such as mine, please call for a quote.

Scary stuff... It doesn't occur to this person that the vehicles Gio offers are not engineered and built to travel safely at 75kmh? Gotta be somewhere in law about councilling folks to commit crime (modifying ebikes to travel faster than legal limits...)

Lock

Unlike drugs, it seems that providing the technology is not illegal, it is the rider that is performing the illegal act by operating a modified vehicle.

No modifications

6. A power-assisted bicycle must not be ridden on, driven or operated if it has been modified after its manufacture in any way that may result in increasing its power or its maximum speed beyond the limits set out in clause (d) of the definition of “power-assisted bicycle” in section 2 of the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations made under the Motor Vehicle Safety Act (Canada). O. Reg. 369/09, s. 6.

Set fines for this is $85 plus costs. Unless you go by what the local law enforcements officials say, ignoring this section of the law, that modifying reclassifys the ebike as a motor vehicle opening them up to a number of law infractions never meant to be applied to ebikes.

I have seen Kijijii ads that sell those aftermarket gas motors that claim they are legal (they are not).

Benefits of Mods

-With the TOP SPEED BOOSTER KIT what you’ll be getting are brand new, high quality, custom made, booster components. This kit also includes simple, detailed instructions with pictures.

It’s just plug and play.

It will not harm or change any component on your bike. You don’t even have to cut any wires. It’s fully reversible but there’s no reason to reverse it unless you want to go slower.

Anyone with simple tools and electrical tape can do it. Don’t feel intimidated by the install since there will be simple step by step detailed instructions with pictures.

This is easy to install and will increase your top speed anywhere from 10-15kmh depending on how much you weigh.

An additional benefit with the installation of this kit is increased range by 20-25%.

This is a proven addition to your electric scooter. I myself have it installed on my very own GIO 500W+/800W electric scooter for my daily commute even up steep hills so I stand behind this product.

This kit is safe, highly recommended and essential for GIO/Motorino electric scooters as well as many other makes of electric scooters.

Order now!
Only $95 + shipping

If you live in the Metro Vancouver area I could deliver, supply and install it for $110-130 depending on distance traveled.

Almost curious enough to send the $$$ to see just what is being sold (controller w/simple shunt mod, or?)

I can meet you anywhere the bike is and install my brand new, custom made, high quality scooter boosting materials kit.

this does not negatively affect your bike and is safe. I don't even need to cut any wires. This will increase your top speed 10-15km/h depending on which bike you have and how much you weigh.

An added benefit is that you will get more range and protect your existing batteries by making them last longer.

i also have torque modded controllers to significantly increase your acceleration and hill climbing power.

please reply via email to set up an appointment. thanks

Right... so a little solder dribbled on the controller shunt to up the max amps...

Really curious to hear the explanation about how higher speeds can be obtained at lower Wh/km... Unless the stock Gio controllers are horribly inefficient and he is supplying better controllers eg improving controller efficiency from 80% to 90% maybe. I wonder if standard Gio controllers feel hot to the touch after a "hard" run...

Well this October 10 Toronto Kijiji post confirms the shunt mod at least:

Just a warning to everyone,i've seen this persons posts now all over the electric vehicle forums selling lith type battery packs he is taking pre orders now.. I seen some questions he did not answer properly and seen alot of people question him about his product.

So just be careful i still think if you buy new batteries make sure the people you buy them from will support you and the questions you have.He could not answer any techy questions people had other than just pasting the specs from where he gets them from. Just a heads up there's alot of un educated e-bikers out there, i don't want to see anyone mislead when there are alot of good store front business's that come with experience.

Lock, my bike goes 75km/hr. I would never in.stall that one someone else's gio, as I agree they are not built for it. However many evokes are. I soup up good to go ~55km/h. It is irritating that you would attack me on a public forum instead of asking educated questions directly. As for the post before me, I don't think your referring to me because I haven't posted about batteries at all. And the educated part doesn't add up either. I am an electronic engineering student. Formerly an aerospace engineering student. I think I can answer any question you have with an essay. It is peoples business what they do. I am not breaking the law in any way.

Next time talk to me Lock. Considering your position as a moderator of this forum I am dissapointed in you for starting a petty squabble. I have many satisfied customers. When you get tired of going 32km/h in a bike lane you'll call me too ;) 647-995-8064

Stew,

If ebikes are to stay legal. Then people shouldn't be modifying these bikes as it will have a negative effect on what this group is trying to accomplish. It just enforces the gas scooter communities beliefs that we're renegades and should be licensed and insured.

I fully agree with Vic. I feel uneasy when people here boast about illegal speeds and illegal activities.

Even discarding the legal side, it would seem reasonable that a motorized vehicle capable of 50km/h or more should carry liability insurance.

Sure 32km/h is slow for many people, but illegal mods is not the solution. There are electric scooters that you can license and insure as LSM. Buy one, learn to ride it at the speed that it is intended for, and continue to enjoy a green ride.

OMG..You should think twice about what you are doing, your gonna get someone killed by modding e-bikes to do 75kph..An aerospace engineering student!!!! You really should develop a electric scooter rocket to go to the moon. Do you realize if you sell someone a mod kit and they get hurt or even die that you will be liable.Let then figure it out on there own then there is nobody to blame but themselves.I guess the money must be good in selling mods..Good luck Stew
