Thanks Tom - you're a life saver, I borrowed a neighbours scooter when I snapped my metatarsal - it also started to jerk. I wanted to sort this before passing it back. Watched your informative video, cleaned the brushes & commutator, its golden again :)
Great news well done 👍🏻
I use a mobility scooter and I am able to do my own maintenanc. I trained as an electro/mechanical engineer. However, you always need some guidance. I have contacted Tom on a couple of occasions and he has always been most helpful. Hes a genuine guy.
Hello Paul, I have a new 3 wheel scooter and the brakes are slow to react, can they be improved do you know please, regards Ian.
Hi I had jerky happening watched your video fixed my problem thank you very much money right saved me loads thanks again 😊
Just stumbled onto your channel searching for info on my wife's scooter we purchased second hand. Very helpful and clear instructions. Thanks for sharing 👍
My daughter has a pro rider deluxe when you turn it on it gives a hi pitch noise still drives do you have any idea what it could be.
Merry Christmas nice to see ya back
Another Great Job Sir 👨🦼👍 and have a great new year
Merry Christmas to you and your family good to see you again be safe and enjoy
Many thanks for your video. it may help me in the future. I do have a Pride GoGo Scooter that after 20 years i hope will only need a new battery but anyway, it would not help me to reach the supermarket. I was searching for videos on how to increase the speed and range of this mobility scooter. And when I say the speed I mean at least to 10 m/h for myself or any senior and not the speed of light as some young men are already exploring just for fun.
Good to see you back Tom Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Merry Xmas Clive.
Good information Tom.
Merry Christmas to you and your family you happy holidays good to see you again enjoy be safe and enjoy
Excellent overall keep up the good work happy new year tom
Hi John thanks again you have a good one as well.
Your so vary informative thank you for your videos please keep making them
Thanks 😊
Great videos sir you explain things that I can understand I have watched all your videos, I have a gogo sport
Tom another great video and very useful information thanks. I get how the carbon makes contact with the commutator but where in the housing does the upper spring contact go? Should it sit to the side at 90 degrees as the spring is bent that way ? Much appreciated
Season Greetings to you & your's Tom, glad to see you back up and running again with your very informative fixes, i was beginning to think that you may have given the job away and retired or something dreadful like that, ha, ha. Any way mate let's hope it's a better world in 2022 for every one in regards to "COVIT" all the best from Australia, John.
Thanks john : merry Xmas to all

Good videos on how to fix the mobility scooters
Great THANKS TOM
Great result might get mine going again. Camera needs to be more on parts concerned and less on the person . Hope it’s constructive aid to next one. !
Good stuff I've just put two shoprider scooters together to make one good one. I'm a woman and they're my scooters. Only thing is I have a few disabilities. The problem I Have now is my lights won't work. I've got new batteries on the spare. My other scooter is jerking away then stopping when I stop. So the fix was I have to get off the scooter and then put the yellow lever down move it a few inches and it worked again. As when it shakes and judders it bloody hurts. So I've put the new batteries on a spare one I had for the tyres a year ago. It's been outside but I had it well covered a litte bit of mould etc. Anyway I have done my best. I even swapped the fibre glass case from the back as my scooters lights worked. Nothing o the newish one but the power is fine no juddering noise when it reverses etc. So fingers crossed. Put the best tyres on. I feel guilty leaving my beloved scooter outside!!. Do you think it's just a fuse? I had a good look at them and cleaned it up there was only one wire attached to the fiber glass hood and it fitted well on the one Im trying out now.
If it’s jerky then clean the commutator and check brushes we have all that in stock if you need
Hi Tom hope you are well. I purchased a Gogo plus everything works on it no beeps no flashing lights the problem is that when you go forward from Stand still it clonks and jolts you back into the seat likewise when you go backwards.we traced it back to the rear part as we tried another one and it worked fine. The motor itself looks like it has been worked on before with a new gasket and its very clean for a 2014 model
We did try and change the brake all be it from another model but still the same problem any idea?
Merry Christmas
Merry Xmas bob
I have had an issue with my Freerider Kensington S, everything working except the drive motor, fault traced back to the motor plug where it enters the controller, burnt connectors, now cleaned, a touch of Vaseline on each connector and I am not mobile. ALL CONNECTORS ARE WORTH CHECKING
Well done 👍🏻
I just got a medical scooter..And just because I drove over a little bit of gravel and rocks the battery disconnected!! but I didn't know why or what happened..And I can't walk so I was stuck..But at least now I know how to fix it
Hello Tom brilliant videos thanks for help in the past, I have tracked a problem down to the relay on my controller Rascal Electric Mobility TE-388EM i need a relay for this TTi TRP-24VDC-SA-11R do you sell these as a part or is there an equivalent?? thanks Steve.
Sorry we can’t get those relays or any internal parts for the control boxes. We send all our boxes away for repair. Or supply new ones.
good jobe
Love the videos thank you I have a Care co Zoom plus when attaching the rear end of the scooter sometimes I have to use some force to make the release catch lay flat I have checked and oiled the frame etc any help please
Check to see if any dirt is under the frame where it connects to the front. May have a worn lever Assy. Has it been like this since day 1 if so take it back it not then check it with rear panel removed to see where’s its sticking , maybe a file here and there may help. You will need to check
Hello again I just upgraded to a Pride Elite Traveler mobility scooter and a bit worried when coming to a stop if the ground is slightly raised the scooter free wheels back and have to put my feet on the ground to stop the scooter I was thinking it might be the electronic brake but i don't get any problems when using it normally can you give me some information if it is the e/brake to supply to me please many thanks
Hello I just wondering do you know how to get water out of a speed shower Because it keeps constantly bacon solidhow to get water out of dynamic rhino mobility scooter controller 24v 70a
hi there john here got a problem with battery power level don't come on when i turn on power every thing else works on the dash bourd
Hi am pleased to commend you on your contributions on & of the ills of mobility scooter: but I have a problem I would like to ask for your advise! I own a Drive Cobra GT-4 mobility scooter approximitly 4 years old that a first I through needed new batteries because after a charge the scooter would show full charge but would rapaidly lose that charge within 30 minutes of normal use; after batteries exchange the same systoms exist plus now it has no power to climb any inclines no matter how low! What could be the cause? When ever you have the time of course THANKS IN ADVANCE!
Hi check your electric brake may be binding on.
If the batterys are both new and voltage going in to controller is 25 and out the most it will do is like 9 and 8 volts in reverse am i missing something he needs this thing to get around and i said i would look but ijust dont know
Hi, I wish all the experts were as informative as yourself, you do a brilliant video, maybe you could advise me on my problem, I have a shop rider, I replaced the batteries with a stronger pair,, but they start draining after a few minutes, and within 10 mins, the batteries are almost drained. ?🤔😊
I have an Pride Maxima Scooter I drill an screw into head light wire and blow an fuel and place the fuel and now it just comes on and one headlight come on and it's do not beep at all when it release the brake
Where in the USA . California can I buy parts for my scooter
I have a CTM electric scooter, I put new batteries and it move and everything work but the next day I had no power, I check the batteries and they are fully charged
Lots to check. Fuses , breakers loom ignition etc
Have a wheelchair with 4-pole motors and I am going to replace the brushes but wondering what's the best way to blowout the carbon within the motors?
Air line. Or you can get tins of air with a jet.
@@tomjacques4 Thanks for info. Don't suppose you know the size of brushes needed on a Sunrise Medical Q700r?
hi there, i bought a 2006 mobility scooter non runner to make a electric fishing trolley which worked out fine. i just wondered if i can bypass the wig wag lever and just use the snail and hare knob to make it go forward, i dont need to go backwards. thanx
Sorry no
thanx anyway@@tomjacques4
Thanks but brake aren't the problem! Has a replacement motor from older same brand scooter; sons will make exchange as soon as they're in town!
.Hi Tom. I am asking for your help, please. My Scooter moves forward and backward well, but the problem is that when I turn it on it launches a continuous beeeeeeeeeeeeep that does not stop until I turn it off. Do you have any idea what's going on? Thank you very much for your help.
Hi could be water in the horn switch? Check where the noise is coming from.
I was on a scooter I was going over a curb and it got stuck in the middle and it wouldn't go it won't do anything now I've got over it before it was fine this time I got stuck there and it won't go no more and just sit down and like a discharges right away
Hello where can I find delimiter on prowler 3410
I have a question about my scooter. It is jerky and I took the gearbox apart and replaced the tiny bearing and cleaned out and regreased the inside. It still feels jerky (almost like I'm driving over a washboard). I don't feel it at fast speeds. Could it be the motor? I have a 3 wheel gogo scooter elite. Thanks for any suggestions.
Did you ever find out why your GoGo 3 wheel was jerking? My GoGo 3xl is starting to jerk when I turn it but it doesn’t happen all the time.
@@landslittlefrenchies3304 I never did find out what the problem was. Sorry
Hi I spoke to you yesterday about I thought with my partner is back lights I have got another issue what I would like some information about when I turn the scooter on and then go to go forward it goes slightly backwards and forwards any suggestions
Could be a software issue. I presume the scooter was on a level surface.
@@tomjacques4 thanks again forgetting back to me yes it was on my level surface we purchased the Mobility Scooter last year and when we purchased it it only had 4 miles on the clock my partner has used it now for one year and then all of a sudden has now started this issue so when you go forward it reverses around 6 to 8 inch backwards then goes forward
hi i have a day strider been kept in shed not working i know batteries are fully charged as indicater needle shoots up to max on gauge when key turned on i know its not electronic brake as this is just hanging off to check it and working fine micro switch works.when i push lever to go i hear a click in i think control box but not sure its not the brake micro its louder the scooter just judders but not far about a foot then stops it keeps clicking on and off somewhere in back when lever to go is held on perminent i know motor moves as can see it but scooter hardly moves far any ideas please all fuses are ok and all leads pushed together properly
Hi check disc that is inside brake is moving freely when power is applied. You will need to remove the brake to do this. Also check motor brushes
@@tomjacques4 i have followed all your videos and have already removed the brake and that component is working as it should
brushes look newish not broken at all
checked all cable conections are in properly there is no beeping or flashing light when ignition key turned on just stays iluminated
@@markellis8337 have you tried driving without the brake connected to the motor
My control box got wet , what will happen to my scooter
It does matter which way around when it comes to using an analogue meter which you could easier blow by getting the +/- the wrong way round. Bad advise by you!
We using and demonstrating with a digital multimeter not antiques. But thanks for your comment.
Help?????? I have one of these . It tunes on . But won’t move. The light only moves the right way . What’s wrong?
Hi what light 💡 are you talking about
Can someone tell me how to wire a new brake assembly, when my old one has four wires, two for the coil and two for the micro switch. The new ones only have two wires, how do I wire it back to the harness,( Motherboard)?
It’s a 2000 pride sundancer.
doesn’t move After I replace the batteries and accidentally squirted some WD-40 around the brake assembly and used a car charger on batteries. (12VDC,
12 Amp) to each battery individually, but failed to unplug wire harness.
I’m wondering if this screwed up the motherboard by back feeding.?
Using process of elimination……
I have Continuity on the micro
switch.
No continuity on the coil for the brake assembly.
Continuity on the motor, but can’t get any ohm reading.
I was going to apply directly power 24 V DC to the motor to confirm the motor works.
I’m thinking the only thing that’s wrong is the coil on the brake assembly and I set of new brushes for the motor after I polish up the commutator and blow it all out.
Can someone tell me how to wire back to harness the new style two wire brake assembly to a four wire harness.
And explain the sequence of events related to power flow after you press forward or reverse… were does it go 1st, 2nd, 3rd for understanding.
She was always a little jerky from time to time not too bad, you’d have to rock the chair back-and-forth a few times to get her to go again.
hi Tom john here still got the problem on steep hills stops dead switch off then on again and away i go wiring and motor not hot
Scooter make and model please
@@tomjacques4 kymco midi xls

I,m sorry to bother you but I'm not sure how to use the tablet that I bought for the app?😅

@@tomjacques4 ok mate i had problems with a shoprider deluxe it would only go when you put the lights on forward and back i sent for another controller of ebay hope that sorts it
@@bluethunder7814 lights have nothing to do with the scooter working or not or even the controller
was it Mauritius or Martinique ???? another problem solved
I have just got a scooter from my friend, it is from care co originally approx 8 years old but only used a few times, then decided to use it again so put two new battery's on it, and again never used it so it lay for over a year, I got it this week and charged it up and went out on it and it just stopped dead after approx 10mins, when I got it transpoted home again I put it bk on charge cos I thought maybe I hadn't given it long enough ,then the next day I took it out it done the same thing stopped dead after approx 1hr, and had to have it transported home again , thr ight is not working on it and the horn is not working , it is suppose to do 8mph but it is not doing that I would say approx 5 or 6mph, does anyone know if it would be the battery's as they had been in the scooter for approx a yesr, if I got two new battery's I'm thinking that may solve the problem, I don't know the model but I have the serial number and it says it takes 2x12V34AH battery's should I order them and try it or get someone to look at it, any feed back would be appreciated.
Think an engineer would be your best bet a lot to look at
Hi bought a rascal mobility scooter and it was doing 8 mp and had it 2 weeks is second hand and it slowed down really slow so bought 2 new batteries witch cost a fortune and no it’s not that could u please help
I don’t ken what model it is but I would check the motor brushes first. Batteries have nothing to do with speed of a scooter. But it’s the distance the scooter they control.
@@tomjacques4 thank you
Could also check the brake if it’s binding on
We’re do I check sorry for bothering you
@@JoannDarlington hi mate so much to check need to do continuity check on brake etc. some other videos that we done show that
What about a wobbly wheel
If you have a wobbly wheel then there may be an issue with incorrect fitting slack bolts or a faulty / bent axle.
Hey man, I would just like to say thank you for your video's, they're probably far more reaching than you realise...story short, a family member who is gravely ill purchased a dodgy used scooter (there are some real unscrupulous sorts about) and with your video's I was able to repair it for him, he's now able to get out and about again 👍
Thank you brother God speed. Not all hero's wear capes.
My horn works, but no lights on the battery meter, batteries all checked out
Check the voltage at the wires to the battery gauge and follow the wires back
@@tomjacques4 will do thankyou.

hi mate i have a rascal ventura and my tiller has become quite loose/wobbly. the wobble seems to be coming from low down on tiller perhaps where the bearings are? do you know how to tighten up a wobbly tiller? i already tightened really tight the big bolt near bottom of tiller. also a small alum key bolt down near there i keep tightening that aswell. my steering has become very "light" so i have to use 2 hands on tiller as with one hand it can steer left or right so need ride with 2 hands on tiller aswell. any help appreciated.
