Golden Avenger, 3yrs old, new batteries hold charge. Scooter goes only at half speed. Sometimes it will not start and gives a 6bar fault. I reset electric. When the key is turned to on position, I get a half bar, quick flash. Battery connections are secure. Svc tech advised it to be throttle pot. I will have tested b4 ordering $200 assembly. Any comments on other things to check? I'm stranded

The 'Throttle Pot' is only a $2 control pot available from most online and local hobby stores. Remove the plastic cover, unbolt the throttle bar and remove the control. Check the value and order one. Remove the wires and resolder the three wires to the new pot. Reassemble and job done.

SOURCE: The battery takes a charge, but will not power scooter

This scooter require two batteries, not one. It is usually a good idea to replace both batteries at the same time, even though one is obviously bad, and the other "seems" okay. These 12 volt DC batteries (VDC) work in tandem to produce the 24 volts that the scooter operates on. In a perfect world, they would both live a long and happy life, but reality is that some die young, others old. Since they are joined together, the one that's going out saps the life out of the other one, so take a bullet and replace both batteries. Make sure you completely charge the scooter when you get the new ones in. Verify that your charger is working properly. To properly charge the 24 VDC system, the chargers have to have an output of about 26-28VDC. The output must be higher than the rated voltage of the two batteries put together to charge. While you have the shell off the scooter, you can see if the charger is working by measuring across the terminal on each battery with the charger off. Note the meter reading. It should be 12-13 VDC. Put it on the charger and retake the reading, and each battery should show an increase in the voltage due to the boost from the charger. After three hours, each battery should show about a 13.5 VDC reading which should hold above 12 for a good 8-10 miles. Always charge your batteries overnight, and if not in use, disconnect them completely with a full charge on the batteries.

It sounds like the battery has failed or there is an electrical fault. Why don't you take it to the agent who will have the equipment to diagnose the problem.

I need to replace the battery case for my Golden tech liteway scooter. Or i need to see a wiring diagram. Can you help?

This scooter requires (2) 12 volt 15 Ah batteries. Typically you would open the case and replace the two batteries inside not the entire case and batteries.
Locate the screws that hold the case together and open it. Make a diagram of the how the batteries are connected. Obtain the new batteries locally or on-line, install and fully charge.
Hope this helps.

Hi My wife has a Golden Companion GC 221, has new

Has the scooter been stored for a while? It sounds like there are damaged cells in the batteries. This can cause the charger to register a full charge when actually the batteries are nearly empty. When you operate the scooter, you cannot get full power because the batteries just don't have it to give. Try replacing the batteries to see if that solves that problem.

My Golden Companion II scooter is fully charged & it won't go

Hi.Sounds very much as if your brake unit has burnt out. If you bought the machine new in Feruary, then it is probably still under warranty.
Get your supplier to fix it for you.

When you say the charge is limited, how far do you travel? Also what sized batteries do you have in your machine? Bigger batteries mean you can travel further. Batteries last best if they are not run more than half flat while you are using the machine. You should work on half the distance that is printed in the pamphlet for the distance you can travel.
Do you always charge your batteries overnight after each use.
Hope this helps. Neil.

Golden avenger goes very slow with good batteries

hi,

ok so you're sure the batteries are ok, and the charger is charging the batteries ,

check the battery connections on the terminal are not loose , they must be tight but don't overdo it,

are the brushes ok ? do they move ok within the motor ? sometimes they can stick therefore you lose power and speed,

Lastly but can cause problems is the speedpot, does it have a lot of up and down movement ? you will be suprised the problems they can cause.

~Regards
