Paul there can be brake problems and or motor problems with this scooter. I have had to replace both the motor and brake to get it to work properly. The brake can stick or drag causing the scooter not to want to start up. Ride the scooter for a while and feel the rear of the motor near the brake (be careful it can be hot) to see if it feels hot if it is then the brake is dragging and needs to be replaced if its not overheating then I would replace the motor. Hope this helps

49cc taotao can't start with electric, only kick start. electric dies when brakes applied

Sounds like your battery is dead. Sometimes they seem ok, or read good on gauge...but just a little load kills it. May also be internal short or connection problem inside battery. Either way, I'd start there.

Cant start my Celebrity X scooter. Seems to drop into free wheel on power demand.

Are there any fault codes? if so check your manual. Is the speed setting turned down low?. The click is the brake releasing so that's ok. Motor brushes may need attention.

My quingo plus does not move either forward or back but electrics seem ok

Hi there sorry to hear your scooters got problems, one or two things could be wrong,

1 make sure the brake lever is engaged properly this will be located at the rear end of the scooter.
2 if the above does not work you could have a problem with the brake itself.
3 does the scooter beep when you turn it on or when you engage the wigwag in the forward motion.
4 if you still cannot get it going give me a call

I have a gogo scooter it bleeps once than cuts out I have to turn it off and back on for it to move

probably a dead battery or a bad battery will move you till the controller gets to a threshold voltage then it beeps and stops , testing this is easy turn on the scooter adjust the speed control to the lowest setting then start riding the scooter at full throttle then start turning up the speed controller if that produces the problem then the batteries need charged or replaced

I have a milan mobility scooter,turn the key & it sounds a low

Hi. This sounds difficult. I have had a few scooters move slowly forward or in reverse, but not both. Normally if the speed pot ( wig wag ) is not exactly in the central position, they can do this.
It is possible for a scooter to have your problem, if the speed lever is binding or rubbing on the housing. Normally the lever is returned to the middle by a spring around the speed pot shaft. If this spring is loose or broken, then this could also cause the problem. Sometimes a small spot of oil or grease will help.
To check the speed lever is in the middle, slowly move the lever for forward untill you hear the brake solenoid release. Now release the lever and slowly pull it for reverse untill you hear the brake solenoid release. Make sure that the speed lever moves the same amount for forward as it does for reverse. If not adjust it with the key off.
If you get the machine to drive properly, then change the controller to see if it is OK.
As for the beeping, a lot of machines will go into an error mode if the speed lever is not in the central position when you turn the key on. This is a safety precausion.
Good luck. Neil.

My shoprider cobra loses speed when I am on top speed.

Hi. Does the machine do this more soon after removing the machine off the charger? When a mobility scooter is going down hill, the controller feeds the voltage generated by the motor back into the batteries. When I an testing machines here at the workshop, I have seen cases where 10 to 12 amps is going back into the batteries on a down hill run. If the batteries are fully charged or unable to take much current, the controller slows the scooter right down to limit the higher voltage generated.
It might pay to check the battery leads and connectors as well, and get the batteries tested.
While you are driving along, try moving the speed lever slowly up and down, not in and out as you normally use it. Sometimes a faulty speed pot ( wig wag ) will cause the speed to change.
Good luck. Neil.

Replacing the battery on a mobility 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.

Regards
GeWiz.
