If the joystick turns completely off when you try to drive it means the batteries instantly are dropping voltage below the operating capabilities. I have also seen bad connections in the battery wiring harness cause the same thing.

Hi, the ideal situation is to charge them with a known good charger Regards Rob www.gewizrepairs.co.uk

This is due to the controller shutting down. Make the brake leverin the on position

probably bad or shorted batteries

This is usually due to the battery "jumping" off the contacts when you go over a bump in the pathway. Put a RUBBER door stop between the battery and the seat post. This fixed mine for all but the huge potholes. Had this fix for 4 years

It sounds like the batteries have gone bad and need to be replaced.

The batteries contain a gel that needs to have current run through it on a regular basis (at least 8 hours once a week) or it will oxidize and solidify. If you attach the charger, what will most likely happen is the green light will either stay green or go to green after a very short time. When you turn on the power chair, nothing happens. The charger will indicate the batteries are full, but instead of being full of power, they are full of crud. Your warranty will most likely not cover replacement as this is due to customer neglect, but your insurance may still cover the replacement batteries if you can wait for the process to go through. Otherwise, you will need to replace the batteries on your own, type U1, 24v 33 amp, approx. $125 each at Batteries Plus or Interstate Battery. Good luck!

Usually a white sticker either underneath the battery box or wrapped around the seat post. Hope this helps ..... Dave

Possible problem with your Transaxle or Solenoid Brake. More likely to be the Solenoid as this would explain there being no noise when you push it (in order to push it you have to disengage the solenoid hence no noise). This is a small magnetically operated brake attached to the end of your motor and they can sometimes bind on causing noise - heat buildup and excessive battery drain amongst other things. they usually are held on with 3 or 4 small allen bolts and are very easy to replace .. Hope this helps Thanks Dave .....

Pride scooters are known for this problem, as I found out when it happened to mine.

You need to replace the Throttle Pot. Either take it to a mobility shop and let them do it or buy the part and do it yourself. It simply involves unscrewing the old one and screwing the new one into place, and there are diagrams to help you on the internet.

This throttle pot problem has happened to my Pride scooter three times already.

7 flash code is: Throttle control fault. 1. Check wiring for open/short circuits. 2. Check the throttle set-up.... The ohms should be very close to each other when placed checking forward and reverse on set up.

Check that you don't have the charger cord still connected or the motor disengaged.

Have you checked that the freewheel lever is properly engaged? You will find it somewhere near the rear wheels. If it isn't engaged the scooter will not move when the power levers are pressed. It would react like a car in neutral ie nothing would happen.

Do they flash in series? Like ten flashes then a pause then ten flashes?

hi, it's it's running okay but bleeping , could be low battery voltage or a failure in the bleeping circuit with wiring or the controller... Regards Rob www.gewzirepairs.co.uk

hi, this is the place to look http://www.pridemobility.com/resourcecenter/index.asp Regards Rob www.gewizrepairs.co.uk

hi, the 5 bleeps are related to the brake,,, located at the rear of the scooter located on the side of the motor, attached to that is the free wheel lever,, in drive mode ,, check that the microswitch is working correctly, check the wire( connectors etc ) from the brake to the controller , www.facebook.com/gewizrepairs

If it is like my Pride Go Go Traveler Elite scooter, what they don\'t tell you is that you need to give the battery a sharp jerk to make it release and come off the scooter. You can\'t just pull it strong and steady.

The park brake has got stuck, the brake needs to come off and be stripped down and cleaned, this will sort it.

Hi Donna Milliard,i would ask:Who took it apart in the 1st place & unless whoever looks at it,is qualified.I would not let them.Obviously if someone could save money they would try to.But there are times,when we must say:(Leave it to a Professional).A good idea,try choosing 1 of FixYa Experts that you pay a set fee for their Help.Sorry,i do not know the best 1 to ask.But go via the site as to best help you.I hope this helped you,i was a little confused when you rated an answer of mine.But this is my answer reading your question,if that makes sense.Lol,Colin

The brake solenoids are located on the ends of the motors.
