You won't believe why my scooter wasn't charging

Walking you through dissasembly of a scooter (any brand, really but this is for a Hover 1) and showing you exactly why my scooter wouldn't charge. This was a super simple fix that didn't cost me any money. Anyone should be able to do this at any skill level.

    You must not have listened. The charge wires got wrapped up from the steering wheel being twisted too many times in the wrong direction. Thus the disconnect.
