Ive got a sterling little gem when turn on battery is full pushing the throttle forward or back it just beeps and wont go i checked all connections and it still wont go even though its in gear

hi, check the connectors between the axle and the chassis , they may need cleaning , check the battery connectors where the battery connects to the chassis , looks like three large button holes .. make sure the frames connectors move easily and are clean.

Hi check if the freewheel lever is in lock position,. Cheers

Turn on the key, hold until it beeps. Push the joystick full forward until it beeps, pull the joystick full back until it beeps. It is now unlocked

The Sterling Sapphire is not sold in the USA so, you may want to verify this information with a local technician however; 7 flashes or beeps is commonly a throttle issue. When the problem starts and you have been driving for awhile, ensure the throttle lever is in the stop position, turn off scooter, wait 10 seconds and turn scooter back on. If that does not clear your problem: There should be two set screws (very small) that you can tighten with an allen wrench on the throttle lever. Make sure those are tight.

If this is a continuous problem, you may need a new throttle potentiometer.

how did you fix it

Did you find out what is wrong as mine is doing the same

When I turn my sterling little gem mobility scooter on it beeps even when I go forward or backwards why??

Hello

Check the following:

* Circuit breaker on main control box is tripped
* Fuse blown (check fuse in main control box assembly).
* Incorrect polarity at battery terminals
* Dead batteries.
* Charging cable is still connected to charging receptacle
* One of the cable connections at the main control box is loose.
* Control connection cable disconnected
* Broken key switch
* Throttle stuck fully open
* Throttle control potentiometer broken.
* Speed potentiometer broken
* Battery voltage too low.
* Faulty charging cable.
* Charger not working.
* Charging circuitry in main control box assembly not working


If these check OK, the problem is likely to in the control connection cable or upper control box Verify that the upper control box is getting 24V. (Blue wire on red connector.)

* If the upper control box is not getting 24V, replace control connection cable

* If the upper control box is getting 24V, check key switch operation and verify wiring in the upper control box. Trace voltage from keyswitch on to find where the problem occurs. (Replace upper control box if necessary.)

* Charge batteries with a 12V charger or replace if necessary.

* Ohm test the charging cable - replace if necessary.

* Test scooter with a different charger, if new charger works, replace charger.

* Check wiring in main control box assembly - replace in line relay if necessary
* If batteries, charger, and all wiring is good, replace controller PCB. (Note the model number for the PCB, for example 1208-2330.)

hi, the rear connections to the main frame are a big cause for problems , make sure the contact are clean and there is a actual connection.

Also check the free wheel lever.

Also you may note that if you haven't charged the batteries for a while , they get weak and may need replacing.
