hi, there could be a whole number of reasons why this is now happening, from experience i would say either the controller is cutting out (heat, too much current ?) or the brake may be coming on ( low battery voltage , poor batteries) slight incline will load the batteries , to a faulty over current reset button however that would have popped out

Check the brushes, remove a brush and smell the end , smell burning ?

if so there is either a badly fitted brush or the commutator is starting to break down,,, cleaning here could help...

check for connections esp from the controller to the motor and brake....

Remember , if you have recently changed your batteries, how good is your charger voltage wise ?

Still stuck then please contact me...

what ah batteries do you have? have you tried going up hill at a slower speed? as you may be over loading the controller, is the scooter rated for the steepness of slope you are trying to get up? if going slower works take it to a mobility shop and ask them if they can reprogram the scooter, they may make a small charge for that.

have you had a look on eBay for second hand or old stock being cleared.

The battery charger for this scooter is available from:

http://www.monsterscooterparts.com/

I believe the original equipment charger from Invacare for this scooter was a 3 Amp off board or on-board charger. The charger is no longer available from Invacare. Monster scooter parts shows this as a 2 Amp charger for the Lynx.
It would be more expensive to repair this charger than to replace it since you indicate it failed after a storm power surge. You will be happier by replacing the off-board or on-board charger for a price between $50 and $150. The only cost effective charger repair is the cord or plugs.
If the charger was plugged in during the storm, I would check the power path on the scooter for burnt fuses and wiring. Hope this helps.
