Before we deep-dive, here’s the big picture: HYPER GOGO designed its magnetic tank-and-fender sets so parents can transform a kid’s electric chopper in under ten minutes—no specialist tools, no wiring headaches.
Why Swap Tanks Fenders?
Short answer: instant style plus added protection. The PVC shells take the abuse of tip-overs and gravel spray, sparing the bike’s alloy frame and wiring loom. Each kit weighs under 1 lb, so performance and range stay the same. Clip-on magnets mean kids can help with the swap, boosting hands-on confidence. Because the lighting harness runs through the faux tank, you can change LED colors or graphics without buying a whole new bike.
Tools Prep
| Item | Spec | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 4 mm Allen key | supplied in box | Fender bolts |
| #2 Phillips | household | Rear-fender splash guard |
| Soft towel | any | Prevent paint scuffs during removal |
| Dielectric grease (optional) | silicone-based | Seal lighting plug in damp climates |
Power-down first: unplug the yellow bullet connector under the seat so the throttle can’t roll on while you work.

Step-by-Step Replacement
1. DisconnectClean
Kill power, then wipe the old plastics so debris can’t scratch the frame during lift-off.
2. Lift the Tank Shell
Grip near the faux gas cap, pull straight up until magnets release; avoid twisting to keep alignment tabs intact. Detach the two-pin lighting plug and set the shell aside on a towel.
3. Unbolt Front Fender
Use the 4 mm Allen to remove two M5 bolts at the fork crown; the video’s underside angle helps you locate them quickly.
4. Swap Rear Fender
Loosen the Phillips screw under the seat hoop, slide the fender rearward, and lift. Reverse with the new piece, tightening to 3 N·m—finger-tight plus a quarter turn.
5. Prep New Tank
Check that the pre-installed magnets are flush and the gasket around the wiring port is seated; mis-hung magnets cause the “falling lid” complaint some Amazon reviewers mention.
6. Re-connect Lighting Harness
Align the keyed two-pin plug, add a dab of dielectric grease for splash protection, and tuck the wire so it never pinches under the shell.
7. Snap Test
Lower the tank vertically until both magnets click. Tug lightly—no wiggle means it’s locked. Power up, cycle RGB modes, and confirm the headlight works.
8. Final Fender Clearance Check
Spin the wheel; the gap between tire and fender should stay at least 5 mm all around. If you hear rubbing, loosen, realign, and retorque.

Maintenance Care
-
Wash gently. PVC scratches easier than metal; use a damp microfiber, not a hose.
-
UV guard. A quick spritz of non-silicone detailer keeps colors from fading.
-
Monthly magnet check. If the tank feels loose, remove it and ensure magnets haven’t picked up metal shavings that weaken grip.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Likely Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Tank pops up over bumps | Misaligned magnets or gasket debris | Clean mating faces, reseat, or replace magnet |
| LEDs won’t light after swap | Pinched or reversed harness | Re-route wire; verify arrow-to-arrow alignment on plug |
| Fender rubs tire at speed | Off-center mounting | Loosen bolts, center by eye, tighten evenly |
Upgrade Ideas
-
Custom decals—PVC takes vinyl wraps easily for one-off graphics .
-
Fog-mist add-on slides under the tank; reuse the same lighting port for power.
-
Bluetooth speaker inside the new tank shell lets kids blast music without earbuds.
Conclusion
Swapping tanks and fenders is the fastest way to refresh, personalize, and protect a HYPER GOGO mini chopper. Follow the eight-step process—power off, unclip, unbolt, align, and click—and you’ll have a showroom-ready ride in minutes. Stay vigilant about harness routing, magnet cleanliness, and bolt torque, and those vivid plastics will look sharp long after the battery’s last bar. Ready to roll? Grab a new colorway, queue the tutorial video, and let the transformation begin.
FAQs
Q. Do I need to remove the handlebar or wheel to change fenders?
No. Both front and rear fenders slide out once their two screws are removed—no wheel or bar disassembly required.
Q. Will the lighting harness work with older (2023) bikes?
Yes. All 12-series bikes share the identical two-pin connector, so tanks are forward- and backward-compatible.
Q. How long do the magnets last?
Neodymium magnets retain over 90 % of pull force after ten years under normal temperatures; wipe grit monthly to keep full strength
