I think music is fine, it kind of calms you down, and not you get frustrated 👍

Thanks Pete!

after buying new batteries, figured out that the red and black wires were not hooked up properly. thank you for helping me to pinpoint the problem of my batteries not charging and the scooter not working. the tip on testing the current output from the xlr connection near the fuse is what led me to pinpoint the issue that the wires were crisscrossed, and im glad you showed the correct wire pattern

Hi, Sometimes big things are in little details. I am happy to help 👍

I operate a Scooter Rental company by Disneyland If a scooter does not move and beeps, its most likely the lever being in Neutral. You have to pull back the lever back in drive and than resetting the scoiter by turning the key off and than on again. I test the batteries with a load tester. I purchased mine at Harbor Freight for 20 bucks. This tester will will put a load on the batteries to quickly isolate a bad battery. If the batteries are good I pull codes from the scooter by counting the beeps. You can quickly pinpoint the cause that way and look up the beep codes online according to your scooter manufacturer. Sometimes it will be a dpeedpot or throttle in rare cases a microswitch on the brake solenoid. In rare cases in the wiring harness. I usually swap out wiring harnesses and if necessary a controller to eliminate the fault. It's easier to diagnose a scooter when you have other models that are similar. Pride Victory models are interchangeable all the way ten years back. That's why in my rental business I can reduce overhead costs and fix pretty much anything quickly and efficiently. My service calls are low as a result inside Disneyland as a result!

Hi, Thank you for your message. I knew all what you have written, but may old people don’t know where to start to test their scooter without special equipment . I have more videos about possible problems. Good luck with your business.

Another thing could be the battery keeps popping out because of the Velcro that comes with the scooter I find using those 3M Velcro strips helps hold it down firmer

[@georgesworkshop8600]

Good idea

I have a question for a Pride Gogo. We just bought one from an estate sale. Brought it home, charged it, but no light on the dash illuminated. Only the power light and headlight works. Little power to the motor for motion. 3 yr old battery. Possibly needs new batteries?

[@georgesworkshop8600]

Hello, In my opinion the battery needs to be replaced. As your description says there’s not enough power in the battery to move it.

[@jeffrichmond-bate2573]

thank you

[@georgesworkshop8600]

Thanks

[@jjp95136]

Ditto. Words would have been great. Since there were no words perhaps I missed the point. But since both old batteries seemed to test good, what led you to replace them? I’m having the same problem with my wife’s scooter.

[@georgesworkshop8600]

Hello, I met with this problem many times and simply this is the solution. When you test the voltage and that seems okay, but it can’t transform into power. There is a shortcut or misconnection between cells. Ps: I am not confident to speak 😅

[@lindatate7053]

I pushed it home with my one leg. Now I can get it to do anything

[@georgesworkshop8600]

Hi Linda, I hope you could sort this out.

[@manfredseis5492]

just an example! Yesterday I drove about 8 km, I live on the mountain so I have to overcome a lot of inclines, I also have more powerful batteries on board 2x100AH ​​temperature -1-2 degrees 1/4 of the battery power was gone, if I had still been light I would have had the route not done and if I had the 75AH batteries in there, this version is the one where the health insurances finance, so I would have made an appointment. What I mean by that, I'm glad that I have a scooter and don't need any assistance to help me and that I can divide my time as I want, but I don't have a large radius with it. The lithium ion batteries are not supposed to be the best, I have backup batteries in them that are used for hi-fi systems in the cars, lead-gel batteries are not, I had them in there beforehand, they are not for me they were mostly broken after a year, I'm curious how long the current ones last, 1 year I've already made it! JUHU !! :-D :-D

[@georgesworkshop8600]

I’m sorry to hear that you are hardly depending on your scooter. The real capacity of the battery is depend on many things, like temperature, riders weight and terrain conditions. I hope the batteries technology will improve with the new electric cars technology. All the best George

my mother (79 yrs old) has a go go elite traveler that works for a while and then stops. It has new batteries which are fine (I know because I thought that they were the problem and batteries plus tested them) she uses it for our dog to run and the problem is getting worse. She is afraid to go too far in case it stops for good. Any ideas?

[@georgesworkshop8600]

Hello, Are the batteries brand new? If the batteries are brand new this shouldn’t happen. My guess is they are on their end of life.

[@markwhitfield5412]

the old batterys read 12v or over, how did u arrive at a short?u should of flashed a bit of wire across the terminals to see if there were any amps, even a shagged battery can show 12v. its the power it should give.

[@georgesworkshop8600]

Hi Mark, I am sorry for the late reply. I get used to do a run test, check how the battery keeps charge. If charge up quickly and then go flat same quickly, then the battery will go to the skip yard and need to be replaced. This is the most easiest way to check it. May the battery charge up to full, but it could be one or more cell short circuited.

[@danrelich9110]

I have a pride revo 2.0 only 6 months old. My problem is when I fully charge the batteries they show full. When I run the scooter for very short distance the battery monitor shows one line down. When I disengage the motor lever the monitor will show the batteries are completely full. Any idea what the problem could be? Thank you.

[@georgesworkshop8600]

Hi Dan, I can guess only, has been your battery flat for a bit long? Or completely flat a couple times? In this case will be a battery problem. But this is just a guess, need to investigate.

[@ericwelburn8311]

I have a similar problem but the batteries are less than 2 years old with minimal usage. How did you know diagnose the battery problem before deciding to replace them?

[@georgesworkshop8600]

Hi Eric, Unfortunately, the batteries need regular use/ maintenance. It they rarely used their lifetime will reduce and occur same problem as in the video. It’s available on the market to buy testers, but they are expensive, cheaper to buy new batteries.

Hi.. i have a pride elite gogo traveller sport.. lol sounds complicated already.. anyhoo i remember when i got it that there was something different than usual about the battery pack... but i forgot what??? It was maybe that theyre 2 11v instead of 12 or something... it was a more powerful pack than a standard gogo was but not as high as the gogo upgrade pack they were selling for them. Im just confused what batteries do i buy. My scooter is not charging fully and the moment i try driving it drains the power lights abd hardly moves. Any tips would be gratefully recieved. All the best either way and thanks for the battery change method vid. Peace and regards from me

Hi, I’ve checked on google and you need 2 of 12V 18Ah batteries. Sport includes higher capacity batteries, this is what different from normal traveller

I have 5 beeps with fairly new batteries. It beeps even while in drive. Is a short circuit still a possible problem?

[@georgesworkshop8600]

Hi Mario, Without inspection I can’t say anything surely, but my guess is the electronic brake magnetic is guilty. I will post soon a video how to replace it.

Hi Betty, How old is the battery? A short-circuited battery could cause same problem. Or if there is a carbon brush in the engine and that is stucked or worn present same issue. I suggest to check these first.

My Gogo 3 wheel suspension scooter stops when I'm driving it and the fully charged battery, 24 hr charge, beeps 2 times. I turned it off and back on just to get from kitchen to bedroom in my apartment. I don't see reset button. It's a about 2 years old. Any assistance would be appreciated

[@georgesworkshop8600]

Hi, beeps two times because the battery voltage is too low to operate the scooter. The solution to this problem is to charge the Go-Go mobility scooter fully until the charger & meter indicates completion. As you charged fully your batteries it means you need to change the batteries.

[@yrb5512]

[@georgesworkshop8600]

Hi, I have checked the internet, too and I can say 9 beeps indicate control unit issue. If you are in the position to try new batteries it worth to try, but most of the time control unit is broken. Its replacement is expensive, may repair is not economical.

[@garygullikson6349]

@@georgesworkshop8600 Take it to a trustworthy scooter repair service. It could be a number of different problems, if the controller is shot, it may cost you $350 plus labor and it may make sense to buy a new scooter. I trust Pride brand more than others. I had to have the electronic brake replaced, similar symptoms as yours, cost me $150 as I recall 5 years ago.

[@dannowak6468]

Nice video but do not depend on voltage to determine if a battery is bad, they need to be tested under load. Either test the batteries while trying to drive the scooter or use a battery tester.

[@georgesworkshop8600]

Hi, I understand your point, but a battery tester is not cheap and average households don’t keep at home. May it could charge the battery, but don’t hold the charge. I wanted to demonstrate even the voltage is seems ok, but the battery isn’t good.

[@dannowak6468]

Fair point. Common sense plays a part as well. These scooters are brutal on batteries so if they are 4 - 5 years old when you test them then yes, the battery's are shot. I wanted to make the same point that you cannot depend on a volt meter test unless the batteries are under load. You can end up changing perfectly good batteries and not solve the problem.

Hi Tim, It is in the video, the batteries are short-circuited and cannot be transmitted the power. A special metering tool required to test the batteries. Unfortunately, it’s quite expensive, so it’s cheaper to buy new batteries then testing.
