On some scooters it is possible to change the polarity of the motor. If its a two brush motor (most are) you can just swap the red and black wires around in the connector plug for the motor. Make sure you get the right wires if you do this but I have to point out that there is obviously a problem with the scooter and I would strongly advise you to get it looked at by your local dealer as the problem is potentially serious and may cause other problems as well. I cant really understand why it would only go backwards. May be a throttle pot problem or main controller fault. Either way, as I said, best get it looked at as even if you do swap the wires, it is most likely that the scooter will only travel forward at the usual speed for reverse, normally 2mph! Hope this helps.

Hi marilyn, Sadly no mobility scooter manual will give you such information, i willing to help , what do you want to know ? faulty lights , thinking of fitting a new controller ?

go google --type in schematic diagram for rascal 200 mobility scooter and if there is one you will see it as a pdf version download

you have connected the wires incorrectly to the replacement pot

Check the multi pin connector on tiller and where it connects under the seat between the batteries. Most common problem.

hi, firstly what controller is fitted (curtis) ? then i can give you a ideal controller wiring schematic but you won't get hold of a Rascal one..

Could have a wiring issue you should look in the console make sure nothing is crossed.

sounds like the joy stick is damaged, you may be able to sort it by reprogramming, go to a mobility shop and ask, if it can be done then they may well do it free, hoping to get your custom in future.
