My son's GIO Mini-Beast sounded similar when cranking and it turned out to be the handlebar mounted choke that was keeping it from starting. It's kind of a flimsy assembly and the cable had slipped...

Nice bike! Shame they don't sell them in Canada. Though if they did they would probably be $5K.
Enjoy, looks like a blast :)

Not sure if you are using any lube on the beads, looks kind of dry in the picture. Some soapy water on the beads makes the tire a lot more manageable as the lube lets the tire slip around versus...

Hello from another western Canadian!
Pretty slim pickings on this side of the border for the Chinese bikes, there used to be quite a bit of selection 10 or so years ago but it mostly dried up.

Here's a youtube video on clutch replacement on the Tao 125, it might show you the info you need to reassemble? Hopefully anyway. Cheers!

I don't really think any of these chinese bikes/atv's have service manuals, at least none that I've ever seen. I had a couple of owners manuals for GIO ATV's and they were kind of a joke as well, no...

You can attatch pictures to your post so others can help you identify it as well. There are a bunch of different GIO models, even just doing a google search might help you identify it. I've had two...

I had to look this up because I had never heard of this machine. It appears to be a small UTV with a 200cc engine and a dump bed. Also, shaft drive it looks like so altering gearing isn't really an...

It's entirely possible that it just has the automatic clutch that engages with engine RPM. My sons GIO Mini-Beast (110cc I believe) had no shifter or reverse, and I bought it new. It was just gas and...

Love it, looks great!
Wishing they would sell them in Canada, I'd buy one. Looks like we will get the Monkey bike but not the CT125... Lol, wish it was the other way around, much rather have the CT!

Hello,
I had a couple of GIO ATV's that I bought brand new (2009) and if I recall correctly the owners manuals were kind of a joke. There was no useful information in them at all, they were more of...

Yup, parts bike might be the safest route! I bought a Honda Ascot 500 at an auction once (looked fine). First time I rode it I noticed it pulled like a mofo, after some disassembly and measuring I...

I don't know anything about Loncin ATV's, but my sons 125cc GIO Mini-Beast had a CVT type transmission. Just give it gas and go, there were no gears or even a gearshift.

Kind of odd that it cranks regardless of brake and safetys being on... Almost sounds like an issue with the computer or possibly the alarm. I'm sure you checked this already, but did you try...

Glad you got it sorted. You will probably be fine now as the battery you bought is probably better than the one that came with the bike. I had a couple of chinese quads way back and the batteries on...

Pretty sure it's just your battery being bad. A multimeter doesn't really give you a good indication of whether or not the battery is bad. I've had batteries that put out good voltage readings at...

Just out of curiosity, you have made sure the engine is free? Can you push start the bike? 9 times out of 10 a no crank is caused by a bad battery or blown fuse.
