Re: My 2012 electric taotao is not holding a charge very...
The batteries on these things last around 400 charge discharge cycles. If you have recharged the bike every day for 14 months, that's it. You need new batteries - sorry.

How old is the battery? They last 5 years if looked after and kept charged. It may just be worn out or has a failing cell.
Or you may have something draining the power even though everything is switched. You can test by removing the battery, and charging it up, and then leave it for a week and refit it. It should still have a full charge.
Sounds like your battery is dead. Sometimes they seem ok, or read good on gauge...but just a little load kills it. May also be internal short or connection problem inside battery. Either way, I'd start there.
Is this bike chinese? if so toss it the chinese have yet to discover customer parts support so new parts can only be found on a new bike. Buy american or at least japanese where they pretend to like us.
Whenever you have issues where the battery isn't charging it is most likely the fact the the battery is bad,m or maybe theres a short somewher e aolong your currents path. Check to see that your chareger isn't broke, and you can do this by using another person's charger to determine the life of your own battery. If it charges with the other charger then that's the sign you need, so that you can replace the current charger.
My 2012 Taotao 49cc scooter was spitting and sputtering then just died one day. I brought to a small engine repair person and come to find out, the hoses that came off the carb had cracks in them. Changed the hoses and the problem went away. Hope this helps.. I have since replaced the cheap hoses with new ones from the auto parts store and never had the problem again.
