I have a Golden mobility scooter,i need more speed

Most 125cc scooters are restricted to between 60 and 70 mph often because of certain laws in each country they are sold in. These 'Twist and Go' automatics alway sound like they want to go faster but the transmission needs to rev that high to work properly.
It is possible to de-restrict your scooter but the top speed you would get would not be a lot higher, maybe 10 to 15 mph more.
Scooters also use much smaller wheels compared to a motorbike which makes the scooter less stable at higher speeds. Mine starts to shake and vibrate when it hits it's top speed of 70mph. To get much higher speeds you would need to spend a lot of money changing gearing ratios roller weights or even swapping complete transmissions. One option if you want to keep at the 125cc size is to change to a bike with a manual transmission like the bigger motorbikes. Some of these bikes can get closer to 100mph but most 125cc bikes and scooters all tend to max out at 70mph. At higher speeds the manuals don't sound like they are working as hard as a scooter does.

I am thinking you mean a Mobility scooter rather then a Ford Edge 2 litre? Full 'make model (what it is)' in all questions please. We also have a Quantum category.

Have the batteries load tested. An Interstate Battery shop will do the test for free in 2 minutes.

The controller is under the scooter about where you rest your feet. You probably damaged it when you went off the curb.

there are four possible reasons why a mobility scooter loose power including the user weight (vs. max weight of a mobility scooter), the weather condition, the riding routine and the battery age. You can check those factors to figure out the root cause. http://trustedmobilityscooters.com/reasons-mobility-scooters-loose-power

you meant Sorento, right>? or i tell you wrong.
speedo and Odometer dead? a key point. in most cars.
check all fuses first , those facts are in the glove box opr. guide.
RTM on fuses

alldata.com $15 to look in the FSM for 30days.

is that too much? $$, say so and ill look for you. ok I did... just now.

keep in mind most cars 2007 an newer are NASA level complexity ,looks like MIL equipment i cut teeth on..
(things talk to each other, and diagnosis can be complex with out the factory scan tools. (CAN bus tools)
btw, im retired too. retired, electronics, tech.
did you know most pub. libraries have this books or esources?
you can go to mitchells fantastic service for free in my LIB.

diesel. wow. ESP, wow2,seat warmers, and 100s of pages on electrics. vast complexity,
IM ONLINE NOW>looking at your dash drawings.
7 pages just on the cluster
ok on page 5 is the MICOM unit, its in the dash, l/P cluster
and is has a Hall sensor called a speed sensor.
this device sends speed to many places not just the dash
to PCM , to A/C controls (cruise)

there IS no CABLE, those were Olden days.
so which is bad.?
easy
scan car moving or with one drive tire off pavement, in drive.
use the scan tool see if MPH reads right. (test 1) afterfuses.

if reads right , the HALL sensor is working.
if not its bad.
Any scan tool works, even a $7 scan tool to see RPM, and SPEED
and all std, scan data.
if the HALL speed sensor reads right scanned then the IP gauge
is bad, the Micom unit and im sure that $$$ to fix.
my guess, is you are flummoxed now.?

it can be wire fell off, or corrision in any connector related to that HALL sensor. btw 2 the sensor is on the drive axle to measure
tire RPM, and coverts that to MPH.

run the fault codes and look for problem cam or crank position sensor
could be a problem engine mount that is being started by a misfire

It sounds like you inadvertently set the speed warning (you can set it in the OBD to warn you if you go over a certain speed). If the car has nav, look under the "settings", second page, and turn it off or set it to something like 85. If you don't have nav, I'm not sure where the setting is but look for "speed warning" in the manual. Hope that helps.

Hi, my first recommendation would be to take the plugs out and visually inspect each one and check to make sure they are properly gapped, if they look fouled at all i would replace them without hesitation. try throwing a set of NGK plugs in the car to fix the misfires. other than that you may want to look at the wires. good luck joe

Sounds like itr is not getting enough fuel. Try or check the fuel filter for dirt or water, and also check the fuel pump pressure to see if it meet factory specs.
Good Luck Jerry
