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 :)

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.

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.

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.

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?

Great THANKS TOM

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

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.

Hi could be water in the horn switch? Check where the noise is coming from.

My control box got wet , what will happen to my scooter

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.

I've got a wee bit of a problem I can't solve. Battery is fully charged, Charger works, and 24.5v at the charging port, but as soon as you accelerate, she only goes 3" and konks out. It's almost as if the drive lever is popping out, but it's not. And I know the codes don't go that far, but it beeps 8 times! Och I dae nu?

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.
