GIO bike controller  No replies Joined: 08/19/2011 Points: 3  I
recently purchased a GIO scooter, and as is a reoccuring theme
on these forums -- I want to go up hills. I saw the instructions
for the "shunt mod" but honestly that just doesn't seem healthy
for the batteries or the motor... and I suck at "man things"
like soldering and such.  However, the article also mentioned
just buying a replacement controller... that sounds like
something up my limited skillset ally. However, I don't know
what I should be looking for.  Also how bad is the shunt mod for
your scooter? I mean if it doesn't make a marked reduction in
life (vs getting a controller elsewhere) could I just take the
instructions to my local computer shop or whatever, and say
"here are the instructions, here is some cash, can you do this
for me?" ?  Tl;dr what is the best method for a mechanically
challenged guy to make his bike go up hills and get a little
extra speed.   Who's new    • adoeps   • Spuddy   • Ray Ray
