Hi, my name is MysterE! I have a question regarding Green Power scooters

Hi @Razr .iv had a look at the wiring etc. Am i allowed to send you my email to chat a bit closer as im not quite getting my head around the explaination ?.

That would be great Razr please.Thank you.

The battery layout is totally different to mine. Are these lead acid.

My Battery layout has 5 Yuasa 22AH Batteries and is a 60 Volt system

@Duddsy23 Yes yours is the older model, it seems you do not have the switch but from what I can see it is that connector with blue@blue /white strip wires, you will need to bridge the wires with some insulated wire, i would advise you do not cut them just bridge the block

Please Remember

Hi folks, I need to remind people of the legalities here, modding a mobility scooter to go faster than 8mph is against the law, unless on private land. This could lead to legal proceedings and fines against you. Thank you @Albus-Scope

I do not advise this but this is what and how I am using mine,

Personally, I have a full Clean Car Driving licence (held for 37 yrs), my scooter is registered/Taxed with DVLA with number plates and insured and I use mine as an electric vehicle, 4mph on the pavement and 8-15mph on the road only, no different to an electric bike, I have had no issues with the law, I do use it responsibly, "Legs before Wheels" is my moto

I also have a 200 ltr trailer I tow with it when shopping

Worked a treat @Razr.Thank you for your time.

Safe And Sound

Someone one day will anger you whilst you are riding your scooter down the road responsibly, please resist @^%$*$% snapping their &&, I assure you it will happen one day, make that vehicle you are driving/riding your own, be proud of what you have achieved and keep it.

Seems to be a lot of confusion regarding legal speeds. Latest guidelines from WWW.Gov.UK/mobility-scooters-and-powered-wheelchairs-rules/driving-on-the-road are below

Note the maximum speed is AT LEAST 8mph - upper max is 15mph - in other words the same as an electric bike or scooter. Over 15 mph is legal BUT a driving licence is required

below is a copy and paste from gov.uk.

To drive on the road, your vehicle must be a powered wheelchair or mobility scooter in ‘class 3’ or not in a class. 

It must have:

• a maximum speed of at least 8mph
• an efficient braking system
• a clear view of the road and traffic ahead
• front and rear lights and reflectors
• direction indicators that can be used as a hazard warning signal
• a rear view mirror
• an audible horn
• If your mobility scooter or powered wheelchair’s maximum speed is over 15mph
• Your mobility scooter or powered wheelchair must have:
• two dipped beam headlamps - if its maximum speed is more than 15mph
• a speedometer - if its maximum speed is more than 25mph

jae377, there are many different rules depending what class your mobility scooter falls into

https://www.gov.uk/mobility-scooters-and-powered-wheelchairs-rules

for instance, class 3 and no class must be registered with DVLA and taxed

Class 3 and no class can drive on a dual carriageway with a speed limit of no more than 50mph and you must have a flashing beacon along with the other rules of the road

Mobility scooters are not allowed to drive in cycle lanes and bus lanes

I suggest people read all of the rules for themselves

So from what I can gather my JH500 is all classes, with the 4mph restrictor switch active it's a class 2 and when the 8mph restriction is active it is a class 3 and when I flick the switch so it can go 15mph it falls into no class

even after reading the whole of the rules, TBH I am still a little baffled
