Help to Increase Speed-500 Watt Electric Scooter/Moped.

Hi,
I own a Gio Electric Scooter with 500 Watt brushless motor. Some other specs are:

Transmission Auto
Engine Type 500w, Brushless, Electric
Min/Max. torque 32-55 Nm
Starting System Electric Start
Battery Capacity 48V/12AH
Max Speed 22-32Km/H (13.6-19.8mph), double speeds

I like it but it is absurdly slow and lacking in power. I would very much like to increase power...especially for climbing hills. I understand I can modify the scooter for greater power and speed. Do I do this with a new controller? Batteries? Motor?

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

Go to www.giobikes.com and check out the blog regarding the "shunt mod." I have the same bike as you, and just did it.. it works awesome!!!
