Man, thank you so much from a happy guy in Windsor UK! At last a guy who knows what he's doing. Thanks.

This was a HUGE help. Thank you. There's not a lot of videos available on how to repair or disassemble these scooters like ours. I really appreciate the pointers an tips. Have a blessed one! 😊

Wish you lived near me. You shure do talk a lot of sense. I would have a go at fixing my scooter if you could coach me. Bless you for doing a video and bring it to light how people getting ripped off 😊

Thank you very much Grandpa Cotton. That was excellent advice and I agree with you mate. We have the same problem here in Australia of the elderly getting ripped, especially the women. Thanks for your time to point this out. See ya mate _ Gerry

I wish there many more people like this guy about not only on good advice & money saving ideas. But, also in actually physically helping someone with such issues. I.e mobility scooter problems. Or anything else that the person maybe able to deal with. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍👍👍👍😉

I don't even own one of these but I do enjoy watching pops video's. Keep it up!

Hi Paul, you sir are a breath of fresh air. I'm sorry to learn that you have heart trouble, but it's fantastic to see that you are not about to give up. And you seem to be a really decent down to earth gentleman. I too have one of these mobility scooters along with my 24 year old Honda CRV, without which I would be unable to leave my house because of health problems. But I wish you and your family love, light and good health an happiness. You have helped many to save money by this great video. Keep smiling my friend. Kind regards. Paul.

Thank you sir,I was just about to give my money away till I watch this video,I changed the fuse all ok and thank for the speed tip👍

That happened with mine just a week ago. I pulled my fuse. It was fine. I cleaned it off really good and put it back in. Works great.

That is very true about people taking advantage of older people, especially women. My Mom took her Toyota to the dealer for an oil change , when the service writer was done with her she called me to go pick her up because the dumb ass said she needed brakes , alignment ,transmission flush exetera. Everything he said was bad, was a lie. Be careful people, those bad people are out there. BEWARE!

God you're a wonderful man totally down-to-earth and everything you say is totally true I'm a senior with a very low income if I got $0.50 in my account at the end of the month I'm blessed so after listening to you you cheered me up you take good care of hope you and your mom live to be at least 150 and all that healthy

I've gotta a neighbor lady I said I'll take a look at hers for her,why I'm looking up problems others have had .thanks.😊

You so right. Cool and thanks. PL Most Highe...and you, Sir. Again excellent video.

Like your video. I need to replace solid wheels on mine. Think Australia a bit too far to visit.

Thank you! Big help!

I Put 12v bulbs in and blew the 2 amp fuse. Replaced with 24v led capless bulbs for a brighter light and no blown fuse anymore.

Thank u Grandpa cotton that was very very helpful

Wise words ,Thank you so much.

Thank you grandpa cotton its the same up here in Toronto Canada businesses trying to screw seniors .what happened to the days when people respected us seniors.

Grandpa Cotton, I'm already diggin' you Sir. I'm Grandpa Rubb, and greetings from Long Beach, California.

Good ol Grandpa Cotton wisdom, good stuff!

Grand pa Cotton, I applaud you, you the MAN.

Yup. That's what I did. Changed a bulb. Thank you so much.

mate you are my kind of person, good on you,

Man I’m so glad that I watched this! You are delightful Grandpa, can I call you that? I’m 66 and I feel like a walking billboard that reads; “I’m old, come take my money, charge me your outrageous fee’s and take as long as you want, to actually fix my health issues.” If it says mobility on it, you are going to get charged 3 or 4 times what it is actually worth. Thank you so much for this video. However, ya’ll be careful turning the speed up to fast on those things because they can become pretty dangerous if you do have bad mobility issues with your hands when controlling those things because they will get away from you so quickly. ❤️ We need to ban together, take care of each other and watch out for our elderly nieghbors without being intrusive in their life’s. We can do it if we stand together. ❤️👍🏼😉 Now I’m going to go watch this again. LOL

I always check my manual first. Then I go on utube. I've saved myself so much money going out alone. Always check resources first. I'm gonna change my front tire myself to get better distance and speed.

Thank you!

Liked and subscribed great story. 👍

You're awesome!

Thank you is is why I love the USA

Hi grandpa cotton!! I have a maxima pride that keeps cutting out on me. While rolling down the sidewalk it will just stop. After I turn it on turn off turn on turn off a few times it'll come back on long enough for me to get it to the garage. Any ideas? I don't have the money to get it repaired so any advice would be so helpful thank you so much, I can't walk but a few steps at a time so I'm literally stuck here home.

As if I wanna speed mine up..there are so many CONS like travel distance the motors over heating..be happy with what ya got....Derr

Hey grandpa Cotton I'm 41 been in a wheelchair last 10 years. I would love to figure how to get that extra 5-10 mph out of my mobility celebrity x scooter. I don't drive but I do enjoy riding around the neighborhood and enjoy just getting out some.

Thanks for the information..that dial inside the handlebar cowling looks interesting...could I spin that to get 8mph instead of the standard 4?

I thought by 2019, people would have learned to turn their phone horizontally.

I was looking at the brain on my rig, gonna put 10 amp fuses in for sure. Turning a "Pride GoGo Ultra X" into an R/C car.. I'm excited, she's got plenty of torque for big wheels and I'll change pinions if I have to.. Roll Tide!

Hi GC, Well, if you want to come to the UK to fix my scooter, your more than welcome.😊🤔

I am going to try this

I have been conclusively diagnosed with an auto-immune disorder that has been medically classified as a "degenerative, irreversible condition". I am preparing for what I know is coming down the road in short order. If there is something I have learned to be true, is that if you you attach the word 'medical' to anything from prescriptions to hardware, you might as well double, triple (or multiply by an even higher number), in determining the cost of anything in the USA. The ailments of the 'Baby Boomer' generation have become the new 'Gold Rush' in our nation. Medical expenses are booming. I am all for someone making a living. As the Bible says: "A workman is worth his/her hire." But, outright theft is another story, all together! Thank you for 'spelling it out' and stating the truth so directly! I know I was numb to it for way too many of my younger years. It's time we all woke up people!

Sad thing is, my dad has been a mechanic most of his life and ran two successful auto shops. He's always put the customer first. It pains me to see not even in just that business but everywhere you go now a days it's mostly like that.

You replaced a blown 2amp fuse with a 5amp fuse ? Without knowing why it blew ? Nice one 😬🔥👎

I wish I could understand HillBilly!

Show us how you make it go faster .come on

I see how that scooter was built with the intent to rip off us taxpayers.

YOU SAY TURN THAT DIAL AND GET THE SCOOTER TO GO 30MPH...LMAO....I SUPPOSED YOU AT YOUR AGE TURNED THIS DIAL And got on the scooter and drove it 30mph...i hardly think so, but it sounds great, BUT IT AIN;T SO, THAT DIAL JUST TIGHTENS OR LOOSENS THE CRADLE THAT HOLDS THE SPEED DIAL MECHANISM IN PLACE GRANDPA......SORRY, BUT NO CIGAR!

I know what your talking about the shops screwing women and elderly. My sister inlaws sister's car blew the clutch. I said that from the get go. After a new battery, a new starter, an new alternator and it still wouldn't start. They finally tried my idea. The Koreans aren't so stupid. If the car has a damaged clutch, it won't let you drive it to prevent more damage. Hmmmm
