    Looking for some advice on my scooter, first it has new batteries but still crawls along no matter where the speed control is set. Also, I noticed with the scooter off the ground if you turn it on and hold one wheel the other wheel turns at a normal speed. Let go of the wheel and it's back to that super slow speed again. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi i have got both the green and red lights on after being on charge for a few hours, it can’t be the charger or batteries at fault as they are both replaced with new a charger and new batteries. Could this be a loose wire or duff controller? Or maybe a hand brake connection fault?

    Hi, Re - bi weekly charging when scooter is put away , in shed over winter. What would you recommend for charging intervals when using every day. I realize continued use will eventually flatten battery and it would require charging to keep going, but is charging daily, an overkill and detrimental to the battery, or should it be charged every alternate day or each third day or something?

  • @xfoneguy
    @xfoneguy Před 5 lety

    We have the GoGo Ultra X scooter.....last time we flew on vacation, the console was somehow damaged. It's a 2 part assembly - the top half is simple to replace - you remove 4 screws from the bottom and the top lifts off. The bottom half is another story. It has a hole in the middle, allowing the unit to slide over the vertical part of the tiller assembly. But there is wiring harness that prevents removal of the shroud. I can't find the other end of the wiring harness - it would probably be fairly easy to replace the shroud if I could find it. Any ideas on this problem or where I might find a service manual? I've spent hours online without success. Thanks - Ken

    One other problem I noticed on a different model, is if you have the lock in the unlock position which disables the scooter from running, and then flip it back to the locked position the problem will still persist unless you turn the key switch off and on again while your it's in the locked position.

    • @paullee5573
      @paullee5573 Před 3 lety

      If you have a removable battery box then you simply need to turn the "lock/unlock" knob several times, making certain that you leave it in the licked position.Try this and get back to me with the result. We will get this problem sorted between us, at little or no cost.

    • @gil6995
      @gil6995 Před 5 lety

      First, if your chair has armrests remove them. This will make the chair lighter. Then fold the seatback down. Next, stand behind the scooter and grasp the seat, one hand on each side of the seat and quickly rotate/wiggle the seat clockwise/counterclockwise while at the same time pulling up on the seat. This works for me.

    I hope you see this soon, I drove into some rocks with the right rear wheel, and got stuck, so after a couple of tries to drive out, I put it in neutral and pushed it out, then I put it back in gear and it beeps five times and won't work. :( I had to push it all the way home. I took the key out, I put it back into drive position and it still beeps five times, thanks. This is my only transportation.

    Thank you very much for this information! I'm getting my first scooter delivered today, and I was wondering about battery maintenance (which I'm sure is probably in the manual, but I'm excited!). It's also nice to know ahead of time why the scooter might not move if the gear lock gets moved into "neutral" during transport.

    Hi, I have a similar scooter a GoGo Elite Traveler Plus made in 2009. I'm really frustrated. I did go on YT and watched your video and others. Seemed like it was the brake assembly. Purchased one online and I put it on, no change under similar situation, did the same thing so I sent it back. So I do know what it is NOT. lol. I bought it for $75 and it needed batteries. Bought new. It ran GREAT for 2 weeks. Took it on short trips around town and longer ones. Then one day it took me out of my parking lot and when it started going down hill it beeped stopped and started to roll slowly. Good they don't roll well with the key on! When I pushed it to turn it around it would go for a few yards and stop. I got it back up the hill and when it started down the parking lot it did it over and over till I just had to push it home. It was beeping but it was beeping like mad. 2 different types of beeping and it was hard to count them. Also the gauge was swinging back and forth from all the way on to all the way off, back and forth like a windshield wiper. So I said all that to ask, if it isn't the brake assembly, what do you think I can try. No one in my area will even look at it because of the age and they are all backed up with customers.

    I have Several Issues with mobility scooters.
    # 4mp is just not enough for outdoor applications
    #2 the wheels are small it jerks at every little bump.
    #3 Its length should be able to be extended.
    #4 the positioning of the seat is too high. I often... after falling just can't get myself raised high enough to get in the seat no matter how low.
    #5 It seems designed to make folks Look like I valids. The seat needs to recline more. For a more natural appearance. (Except the high end ones)
    #6. I cannot ride them long distance. It hurts my back and neck. @ 4MPH that makes it worse.
    Of course, this means I require a special needs scooter.
