My electric mobility scooter is froze up the needle showing battery charge goes over to zero but it will not move the temp is -8

Hi how did u test the batteries.the only accurate way to test them is to use a BATTERY load tester ...u can buy them on E/BAY.APROX COST $35::.cheers

After 10 to 12 hour charge, unplug the charger, make sure the freewheel lever is in drive mode, you will know if it is because you have a hard time trying to push the scooter. Turn it on and try to drive if the meter goes to above the middle on the meter, it should ok, but, if the needle goes to red right away time for new batteries. Will need more info to go any farther. or you could go to www.strege.com/BlueDoc it is an app to help trouble shoot scooter problems.

Kine blinks 6 tumescent. Paddles or speed can u help

you could have a bad throttle pot o speed pot possibly a key switch problem aswell. Hi I a Phillip the "DFW Mobility Specialist"send me a email at [email protected] if you live in or near the Dallas Fort Worth area.

Things to check: Drive/Free wheeling switch, brake release lever (this activates an internal micro-switch that enable power to the drive system, battery box connectors (condition of contacts - corroded, missing, loose. etc.); main control cable (corrosion. lose or missing pins, etc). If all these are OK, could be controller or drive control potentiometers (speed, forward, backward) on the handle-bar (tiller).
Good luck!

Neil wood, the Rascal 600 DOES use an on board charger. What signal is the white wire looking for to make the scooter move is the question. 28v?

Make sure the free-wheel lever is engaged and the charger is unplugged from the scooter before you try to turn the scooter on. If the battery gauge goes up when you turn the scooter on and there are no beeping sounds you should be good to go.If the battery gauge drops to the red when you try to accelerate slowly, your batteries are shot. (Typical replacement in 24-48 months).If there is any beeping when the key is first turned on then there is a problem and the number of beeps indicates the problem found by the computer during the POST.

I suspect this will be the batteries. The fact that the ammeter is working suggests the charger is charging the batteries. Just to be certain, the ammeter should start at a higher figure (i.e. 4 - 5 amps) the more discharged the batteries are, and should read zero when the batteries are fully charged. If this is the case, I think the charger and the ammeter are ok. The battery guage should also be ok as these do not usually move at all if they are broken. Batteries can take a, and even hold a charge for a certain period of time if they are weak, but under load, they cannot produce the desired amount of power. It sounds to me like this is your problem, but before you buy new batteries, have them checked properly as other things may be to blame, like a brake problem or even a motor or transaxle problem.

Hi. How many flashes between the pauses? Let me know and I can tell you what is wrong with it. Neil.

Are you sure the batteries are charged ? Is the Battery charger charging ok ? Are the batteries connected ? take off seat and cover to check battery leads, does the key fit in the lock okay ?
