hi, sorry to hear you having issues with the go go

Here's the manual

http://www.pride-mobility.co.uk/docs/Elite%20Traveller_owners%20manual.pdf

The fault description is :

Throttle control lever not at centre position
at start up.
Return the throttle control lever to centre
position, turn Travel Scooter off then back on

so what happened is that the throttle is no longer centre , look at the base of the throttle stem, a cross head , now that should look straight at the the seat stem, be in aligh with it, if's it off slight you will get that fault so you need to adjust the lever so the pot is dead centre again..

Still having a problem then goto my site and contact me so we can solve this for you free of charge..
