I hope this information is helpful, good luck!

The most likely source of the noise is your front wheel bearings or the front springs for the suspension. Each front wheel has an inner and outer wheel bearing which is sealed but can develop noise over time. If you can, block up the scooter and spin the wheel in the air. If you hear noise it is either a noisy bearing or you need to remove the wheel and grease the spindle (axle) the wheel is mounted to. The wheel bearings need to be punched out and replaced with the same size bearings from the manufacturer or a bearing store.
While the scooter is off the ground check the steering linkages and spray lubricate them. Also, lubricate the springs and anything else that moves or pivots. If the steering tiller squeaks at the head tube frame (steering column) upper or lower bearings you have a more technical repair. That involves loosening the lock-nuts for the steering column dropping the lower front frame assembly to either repack with grease or replace the bearings. You would also have tor remove the upper tiller assembly and get it aligned on reassembly.
You should be able to hear and isolate the noise once you have the front end blocked up off the ground. Hope this helps.

Throttle potentiometers are a frequent part that is replaced on scooters due to wear. This part is available from the manufacturer Pride or from a company called Monsterscooterparts.com.
At the Monsterscooterparts home page click on mobility scooter parts, pride scooters, pride parts click on Pride Victory XL SC270 , select throttle pot assembly. Verify SN and compatibility remarks. They have an 800 phone number for questions and they ship worldwide. The Pride part number is ELEASMB 1511 for Victory XL 4 wheel scooters after the year 2000. Looks like the price is about $80. Labor is about 1/2 hour and can be done by an experienced mechanic or do-it-yourself. The part is available from the manufacturer if you are a dealer or have an account.
First remove the throttle lever by loosening the allen set screws. Separate the front console covers by removing 8 or more screws holding it together. Locate the throttle pot, unplug it and install a new one. Be careful not to over-tighten or strip the screws holding the potentiometer housing tabs to the plastic. Check the alignment visually before reassembling it. Don't pinch any wiring when you put the console back together. When you reinstall the throttle lever make sure it is even left to right and does not bind on the plastic console housing. Tighten the lever set screws firmly but do not strip them, this repair will need to be done again and you want to be able to remove these set screws. Hope this helps.

If the batteries have been volt tested OK and they wont hold a charge, check your charger to make sure it is functioning properly. If there was a short, the scooter most likely would not work or would give a flashing light code. Batteries typically will not hold a charge when they are damaged, have been sitting unused for a while or if there is a mechanical issue that is causing dtrain on the motors. Check the air pressure, bearings and ensure there is no noise or vibration that may indicate a motor failure. If all those check OK, replace the batteries.
Good luck!

There is a fuse that you need to check out. Do you still have the manual? If not, I can get a copy and send it over, please let me know.... Guy :)

You have a speed control and/or throttle pot problem. This can also cause a cb trip

Sounds like Overload Cutout ??? Use a Higher Rating Cutout, as going up hill is very hard on Scooters and it also depends on your weight.

Hello,you need to get someone to refit your forward reverse lever.im disabled myaself.please give me a thumbs rating 1 to 4.i do this as i care not for profit Colin.

Have the batteries tested with a load tester. Usually when it starts to move slow it means the batteries are going.

Hi. Have you checked the free-wheel lever is in the correct position?
Is one of the battery lights or any LED flashing? If so, count the flashes between the pauses, and let us know.

hi,

ok the brake unit is normally located to the right of the electric motor,

Now first check the wiring making sure there are good connections and clean connections, now remove the brake unit by undoing four to six allen bolts but please take care as they can get very stiff and rusty,

You should be able to get a replacement until by taking it to a repair agent but please bear in mind sometimes late braking can be caused by a controller fault however it is rare.

Regards
Gewiz.

please check your wirings.

Check that it is unplugged from the charger. Then check the freewheel lever to ensure it is in gear by placing it out of gear first, then placing it firmly in gear. Do this while the key is OFF. Wait three seconds, then turn back on and it should go.

If it doesn't, and you are sure it's in gear and unplugged from the charger, you should be getting a fault code flashing on the charger display. Consult your owners manual to determine the fault and proceed as recommended.

Here's a link to the owners manual if you've lost yours. Good luck.

It is called the "current limit time out." Apparently the battery needs to recuperate or adjust its charge across the cells. That is another question. What it needs is a few minutes to be turned off. I know this from seeing the manual. https://youtu.be/PB2JsjU9m3A?si=QEXCzBoW3ni5mWyi&t=122

It may be something as simple that you have picked up a twig or a piece of litter. Lie on the floor and look underneath with a flashlight or get a young person to do it..
