At the back of scooter there are either 2 wires you have to join together or a switch that will take the speed up to 15mph. I have the greenpower zt4 and the switch on mine is close to the lefthand back wheel

For mobilty scooters this is illegal in UK unless registered under DVLA reqirements and take no responsiblity for information given. Modify at own risk

only today on my local news there was something about someone who has been sued and lost their home as they did not have public liability insurance for their scooter and ran a person from behind. Pedestrian sued the scooter driver and won big time

Lesson for all

Unless you go o the EU I'd reckon the 'third gear' is disabled to limit the speed to the legal 8mph.. If you have the scooter in Europe it can legally travel at 24kmh
Even electric pedal assisted bikes are limited to 15mph powered speed, otherwise they become motorcycles.. And you'll find this happens with a lot of less scrupulous Uber/Justeats drivers which the cops are cracking down on..
