Pride Celebrity Xl 4 Wheel Scooter - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
My dad has a pride celebrity xl scooter and keeps
The noise you are describing usually comes from the trans-axle and not from the motor/brake. Motor brake noise is usually continuous. Sounds like the trans-axle may be slightly bent on the right or rubbing internally. The easiest way to identify this is to block up the scooter and remove the rear cover. Look and listen to all the drivetrain components while the scooter is blocked up and running. If you hear rubbing at the end shaft as you describe you can try the following:
Loosen the trans-axle metal mounts that clamp the rubber sleeves over the trans-axle
Spray the rubber sleeves with silicone.
Re-torque the clamps after checking the alignment.
An overtightened or misaligned clamp can sometimes cause noise.
The brake/motor/transaxle has a prorated three year warranty so you should go through a Pride dealer for warranty repairs.
Sometimes you can get a noisy wheel on the key and key-way of the trans-axle shaft. It may be worthwhile to pull both rear wheels lubricate the shaft key-ways and keys and re-install the wheels. This can sometimes quiet a multitude of noises from the trans-axle. Depending on the age of the scooter you can do nothing, replace the brake/motor/transaxle parts individually, replace the complete assembly. I like to replace the entire assembly under warranty so there are no future problems. The rest of the repair depends on your insurance coverage or budget. Hope this helps.

Tyre pressure
You should find it marked on the wheel and or around a tyre valve. If you have standard tyres and tubes check your not very useful Pride instruction book.

9 flashes
hi, that code is telling you there is a issue with the brake, whether the resistance is incorrect (bad connection to the brake or the brake itself has failed) or the micro switch has failed...If you're able to disconnect the bake cable and have a smart meter etc , then measure the resistance, should read from 30 upto 60 ohms...
The brake is located on the side of the motor from there you will be able to see the micro switch that operates according to the freewheel lever...make sure drive mode is engaged , turn off then back on ,,,
Please contact is you require further help...

Pride celebrity suddenly stps while driving
You need to slow things down a bit or else you may be paying a few speeding fines. Did you say bumps??? What may have happened is that one of the cables may have been knocked half out of the control box and may just need a nudge to make proper electrical contact. I just hope you have not damaged the accelerator (Potentiometer). Sometimes the shaft on the wigwag breaks the contacts in the accelerator from being moved too vigorously when going over a bump too fast. A technician would need to repair this for you. Happy scooting. Regards Chris… [email protected]
Green light does not come on the power charger
hi, there could be three reason for his . following the instructions below for a external charger1. the charger cannot see the battery voltage, this could be because a fues on the scooter has blown. the charger socket is damaged.2. the Batteries never fully charge because they are damaged.3. the charger itself has a fault.I believe that scooter has the charge fuse locate on the tiller column, Follow the instructions below for a built in charger, if that the case check the fuse on the battery leads,Otherwise in my experience the batteries cannot be fully charged because they have a faultRarely is it the inbuilt charger that is faulty.http://www.pridemobility.com/pdf/Owners_Manuals/INTL_Scooter/uk/UK_Celebrity_XL_om.pdfRegardsPlease give feedback...
