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)
Hey Remy, We do have a "Vegas" in England its called "Skegness" or know by the locals as "Skeggvegas" Imove to the real Las Vegas in 2013 and I know Pahrump all too well. If you are sure that it's front to rear harness you can order parts from these guys that way you might be able to keep the Hillbilly Sport going. 4 Wheel F-R Harness monsterscooterparts.com/collections/go-go-sport-s73-s74/products/tiller-harness-for-pride-go-go-elite-traveller-plus-sc53-sc54 3 Wheel F- R harness monsterscooterparts.com/collections/go-go-sport-s73-s74/products/front-to-rear-harness-for-the-3-wheel-go-go-sport-s73
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
I use "Back to black automotive black trim restorer on faded black plastic otherwise I use Meguire's natural finish interior protectant and to me its a perfect sheen.
I keep a stock of the screws for the GoGo battery boxes. I have never found a box that had all the screws. I always make sure to put every screw in. Thats just me...
I just got a go go sport it says it’s fully charged. It runs for a while fine then battery lights go down and scooter stops and beeps. It has set for a couple years I’m guessing the batteries. It will run fine for 5-10 minutes before this happens. Could you give me a guess
If the batteries haven't been charged periodically at least once a month while it's been sat the batteries will need changing. It will do two things, either charge up really quickly or charge for a long time even sometimes never going to fully charge green light on the charger. Best advice is replacing the batteries.
hello need help with Mobility Go Go Sport 3 Wheel put two new battery and a motor still doing the same thing it start to move then stop release the lever power comes back press it again and lose power again can't afford to buy a other one please
Are you local to las vegas? you could bring the scooter to us to check it out. If not, I can only suggest taking it to a local repair center or contact Wheelchair Scooter Repair to get an in-home service call www.wsrsolutions.com/contact-us/
I once replaced the batteries in an actual Hoveround powerchair with my customer sitting in it. The battery trays were 1/4" deep in stale human urine......awful!!

Have you tried the generic seat upholstery from Monster Scooter for the GoGo seats? I have and they are pretty darn nice and cheaper too!!
I only buy from my manufactures not retail or aftermarket.
