Have not used my shoprider cordoba for a couple of months as we have been away in England - but would not start - think it is the controller that has died but the scooter has not had much use at all (we live in Malta and purchased it and had it shipped from the UK). I have made all the checks that in the user manual - battery connections OK - batteries charged 12.7 volts each - all the lights work, horn, winkers, all working - freewheel lever in correct position - there is a click coming from the controller box when the lever is pushed in forward or reverse - so I presume the relay is OK - have checked with a volt meter the black & red coming out of controller to motor there are no voltage - could you please tell me anything else that I can check or what the problem may be? (Malta is a small island in the med and they import parts)

I had the same problem last year and guess what. It's happened again. My Cordoba has been laid up for winter in a dry but cold garrage and charged monthly. The batteries are perfect. Last year I sent it to the local mobility providers who had it in their workshop for 2 hours exactly and rang me to say it was ready. I thought great that should be a cheap reapair! Wrong £170 and the mechanic said he had dried out the control box and sealed the cover with silicone.. Said he had had a lot of trouble chasing fault. Two hours worth! Shoprider refused to help and told me to go back to this highway robber again. I am elderly disabled and cannot do the work myself. Gutted. The same symptoms are there again. Full Batteries, In Drive, Turn on - move levers -intermittent beeping. - No Movement - Everything else works. Is there a simple fault? Would love to know.

Scooters should be charged weekly, leaving for 2 months without a charge will cause the batteries to be so low that they cannot recharge.These type of batteries willnot recharge never mind how long you keep them on charge.
I would suggest it needs some more batteries, yes expensive.
Try and buy things from malta there must be a local scooter shop that can supply you.Plus being malta a dealer maybe able to confirm what i`ve said and if you buy from him ,he will be able to help you with niggly problems
