Shell Could be a couple of things but I would suspect the throttle pot. If the scooter is 4-5 years old or older the motor brushes might need replacing. If dad has the scooter outside and it gets damp the brake assembly might be sticking also If it gets rusty. If Medicare paid for dad's scooter I would contact a repair service to check it out and repair it since Medicare will pay for 80% of the repair cost. You can call Repair Express @ 1-877-581-3733 to see if they have a tech in your area or contact the provider that sold your dad the scooter to see if they have a repair service Hope this helps

I have a merits s131

Put the unit in drive mode (engage the brake) and try again. If one way doesnt work, try the other way. If this doesnt work you may have a faulty brake switch or brake wiring. Replace both and try again.

My father-in-laws gogo will be not used for several months while he's in florida. how should the battery be stored/charged while not in use?

Charge the batteries fully and remove the battery pack from the scooter. About once a month charge the battery pack. It shouldn't take long to charge since you are not using the scooter Don't overcharge when the light on the charger turns green turn it off and unplug it from the battery pack. This should keep the batteries fully charged and fresh when FIL gets back home. Hope this helps you
