hi Jennifer, well it to do with load,, ( in simple terms )the battery is under more stress when going uphill ,the controller is demanding more power to keep the speed up...everything is working harder to keep that speed up.. One trick is too simply slow down uphill to conserve battery power .... Going down hill there is no stress, only the motor slowing itself down , certain controllers can use this to recharge the batteries in a limited way ...commonly called regen
That is a real test to see how good your batteries really are ...
However please note : your batteries are only as good as your charger !!!!
If it's a hydrostatic transmission, I would have the transmission looked at. You may need to "purge" the system and check the fluid level.
The ones I've done called for the drive disconnects (the rod or lever which allows you to roll the tractor when the engine is shut down) to be in the flow bypass position. They also wanted the wheels off the floor, then the engine to be started, & the direction control to be worked SLOWLY to the front & rear positions 10-12 times. Then put the bypass valve back in its 'drive' position, fire the engine again & repeat the slow cycle of the direction control. The unit SHOULD be quieter now & perform better, but double check the oil level because expelling the air may have dropped it too low.
That sounds like the drive belt is either stretched (requiring retensioning) or nearly worn out (requiring replacement). Retensioning may not be very difficult - it may require only a simple linkage adjustment.
there may be a mechanical problem in the trans mission with that mileage it may be that it needs overhauled try a transmission specialist not the dealer
Hi. Does the machine do this more soon after removing the machine off the charger? When a mobility scooter is going down hill, the controller feeds the voltage generated by the motor back into the batteries. When I an testing machines here at the workshop, I have seen cases where 10 to 12 amps is going back into the batteries on a down hill run. If the batteries are fully charged or unable to take much current, the controller slows the scooter right down to limit the higher voltage generated.
It might pay to check the battery leads and connectors as well, and get the batteries tested.
While you are driving along, try moving the speed lever slowly up and down, not in and out as you normally use it. Sometimes a faulty speed pot ( wig wag ) will cause the speed to change.
Good luck. Neil.
