I HAVE RASCAL 235 SCOOTER A LOUD SCREECHING NOISE
Use compressed air to blow dust and rust out of the brake assembly. If the noise persists you may need to disassemble the brake, clean it by hand - especially the brake pad. You may also have the armature nut misaligned at the brake tearing the brake pad apart. Loosen it when you are cleaning the brake and then remount it 1/32" back away from the back end of the brake.

I would check the to see if the batteries are overcharged. You can tell this by looking at the sides of the batteries. If they are "swollen" and have distorted the battery shape, that is being caused by the charger. I had the same problem and needed to by new batteries and a new charger.
How far will 17amp batterygo
I keep asking this exact question, and have come to the conclusion that the answer is the same as how long is a piece of string. I got a load of answers ranging from 10 miles(bit of a nonsense - my cronky old rascal taxi did that!) up to 18 miles, which I feel is a bit optimistic unless it is all on dead smooth dead flat surface with the wind behind you. Be glad to hear a definitive answer, and havea speedo fitted to my Travelller!
We have a 11 month old elite traveler scooter. The...
I just fixed this problem in a Go Go Elite that was less than 6 months old. We would plug in the charger and the "charge" light would not turn on, just the "power light" I took out the battery pack (check manual for instructions), removed the cover (8 philips head screws) and checked the voltage on the two batteries. One read 4.5 volts and the other 4.7 volts. They should both read at least 11 volts, ideally 12 volts. Evidently the Pride charger will not work if it detects that the batteries are too low. So I took out one battery at a time and connected a 12 volt auto trickle charger to it for 3 hours on each battery. Checked voltages and it brought them back up to 11.5 volts. I reinstalled the battery pack and then connected the Pride charger and THEN it showed a "Charge" light. I left the pride charger on for 12 hours and it brought it up to full charge.
Advice: Don't let your batteries get too low or the factory charger will not work.
Battery stuck in pride gogo mobility scooter how to remove
Hello Bruce,if you contact a local dealer for your scooter.Ask them to download you an owners manual,there will more than likely be a small fee for this.Alternatively visit the Products website & ask the same question,this may be a better option as there may be no fee.They could send you 1 in the post.I hope this has helped you,Colin.
When first purchased the scooter
Well if the scooter wasn't charged regularly while it sat for 3 months then the batteries are probably weak and will need to be replaced. These smaller batteries will not tolerate not being charged regularly and unfortunately one or both batteries has gotten weaker and does not hold a charge like it should when new. Sorry i can't give you a better answer Remember to charge the new batteries before use and if you are not using the scooter regularly (daily) always put up fully charged and charge at least once a week. If you use it daily charge the scooter when you go to bed and unplug when you get up in the morning. If you do this you should get good use out of your batteries. Hope this helps
Brake seems to stick on causing battery to run
Sounds like you have weak batteries or a bad brake. You can measure the brake resistance at the connector between the front and rear halves of the scooter. The brake is good if the resistance measures between 30 to 65 ohms.
You should load test the batteries to see if they are good. It takes battery power to run the motor and release the brakes. Weak batteries will cause the brakes to drag and the scooter to run slow.
A new brake costs about $70 and new batteries start at $40 each.
If you do not have a beep fault code, nothing has burnt out yet. I would have the scooter checked out soon by a qualified technician. Hope this helps.
I have a Go Go
you need to use an electric screwdriver or regular one with long narrow blade, then turn the batter housing over and insert the driver into the holes on the bottom of the case. Use slow speed in the counterclockwise direction, you will feel the screws release as there will be a clicking sound. Seperate the case and disconnect the batteries. Charge them on a car battery charger, put the batteries in parallel by using jumper cables then hook chargers to the batteries. Sometimes the scooter charger will not fully charge. Use 6amp or lower setting while charging. Also check and see if the fuse is blown or not inserted all the way.
Battery won't hold a charge
We have had problems with scooter batteries from time to time and the repair man said to take apart the battery case and disconnect the batteries and use a car charger. I put the two battery in parallel and used a amp battery charger. This worked fine.
Don't run your scooter batteries all the way down when using the Go Go as the scooter charger won't always bring them up to full charge and you may have repeat this. Also running the batteries all the way down shortens there life.
Where can I get the best price for batteries for
In my experience the cheapest batteries are not necessarily the best. The small 17 Ah batteries for this scooter should be AGM (Advanced glass mat). The less expensive batteries will last you about 6 months or more. The AGM batteries should last 1 year or more but they are more expensive. Shop around on-line and you should be able to find them locally at a good price. They are easy to replace but it requires a long #1 phillips screwdriver to get the battery box screws out. If you do it yourself or have a friend do it you will save on the labor cost which can be significant. I have seen them on-line from $34 to $179 so be sure to shop around. Hope this helps.
