Tony, It is evident that you didn't remove the batteries in the first place. The batteries are hooked up in series meaning that 1 battery uses the positive cable, the negative on the same battery connects to the positive on the other battery and the terminal left is the negative for the system.

The Hand Control has probably bent in from use. ( Where she Pushes the throttle Control )
Grab a hold of it and bend it out towards you slightly
The part about the indicator going down when she moves and back up when she stops is normal

hi, ok now you need to check your wiring within the battery pack ,
If there are two batteries, you need to make sure that negative wire of one battery connects to the positive of the other battery,
now use the postiive and negative battery connections to connect to the scooter , that will give you your 24volts,
battery 1 connects battery 2
+ | - <------> + | -
== 24Volts
use the + of battery 1 & - of battery 2 to connect to the scooter.

hi, ok remove the seat by turning it to the left, there is a lever normally on the right side that will allow it be turned round,
once you done that, lift the seat in a upwards motion, the cover should come away by gemerally lifting it, it should be attached by velco underneath,
you should now see two batteries. 40Ah batteries will allow you to go further if the battery Ah is lower, 50ah batteries again will allow you can go even further NOT faster, if you buy the larger AH batteries please make sure the dimensions of the batteries will fit within the scooter battery holders.

The control seems to be the issue. I have rewired so many scooters. When you have power and it wont go, it is usually the control. If you cannot afford the part right away, you can rewire it or have it rewired direct

Hi. What size batteries you buy will be limited to the amount of room you have in the machine.
17 amp hour batteries are really a bit small for any mobility equipement. A lot of power chairs have 35 or 40 amp/hour batteries.
Buy the biggest that will fit into the available space.
Batteries are designed to perform a certain number of "charge cycles". If you run your batteries down by 75%, you will only get a small number of "charge cycles". If you only use 25% of the batteries capacity, you will get 100's of "charge cycles".
The best I have seen is 7 years out of a set of batteries. Short trips and recharging after each trip is the reason.
Good luck. Neil.
