I have a roma medical scooter a big scooter it worked two day ago now I have noting plenty of charge on the dial green light flashing don't move forward and backwards can anyone help me please
Either your parking brake is engaged or if your scooter is more like
mine i have a Rascal 600t it gives a code 5 service code when it thinks
its in free wheel. Your scooter is dropping into a fail safe mode and is telling you this by beeping. Most scooters have a service light on the tiller head that will flash out the failure code of the failure detected. Does your beep a number of times pause then beep this same pattern. The freewheel mechanism is located on the trans-axle
which if you go outside across grass it gets wet. This device doesn't
like moister and will get stiff will partially engage or disengage. In
that mechanism there is a micro-switch which if the lever when slipped
into the engaged position doesn't go all the way to the seated position
the switch will see the mechanism as being disengaged [in free wheel]
and will inhibit the motor from running. I lubricate the entire
assembly with pure silicon spray oil,WARNING, do not use WD-40, It will
eat some plastics.After lubricating the lever should move smoothly. I
have to lub my scooter about once a month in the winter.
Now if
this doesn't work check the connector that are all the wires are
connected. Disconnect the connector check the pins are ok reconnect
check to see if your still getting the failure. If you are still getting
this problem do continuity checks on the wiring. You will need a
multimeter only $9

Check the switch in the freewheel assembly. Select ohms the highest
scale, short the leads together, zero the meter by turning the zero
adjust knob. There is only one wire we are interested in. On some
scooters you can visually see the switch and the wire running from it.
The wire usually foes to a spade connector. Disconnect the spade
connector put a probe on that connector leading to the switch.
Disconnect the battery put other probe on the positive side of the
terminals that were connected to the battery not to the battery it
side.Work the switch does the meter needle deflect to zero, no, try the
negative side. Does the meter deflect, no, put the probes directly on
the switch terminals, does the switch.when worked now cause the meter
to deflect, no, replace switch, yes, the problem is in the harness,
don't panic, use can use that meter to trace the wire through the
harness. Wiggling wires and flexing connectors usually makes the meter
flick at some point. Thats how i do it i'm never without my trusty
meter. Rascal are notorious for having problems of this type my
mid-frame harness fell apart in the middle of a six lane intersection,
the scooter simply locks up tight .I can do nothing but sit in the
middle of this huge intersection. People try to move me but the scooters
wheels are locked, my illness makes it so i can't communicate with
people do it was a mess. So i modified the connector so its no longer a
latch type connector. I drilled it for a quick pin which is much
stronger than what its using now. Hope this helps
if you can push it it's out of gear put it back in gear and it should work fine

Hello and Welcome to FixYa!
Well, that could be due to multiple reasons, you need to double check each possibility one by one to rectify the problem.
Make sure that the charger is working properly and the batteries are properly charged and aren't showing fake charging. The battery(ies) are capable of storing charge efficiently.
Also do make sure, that the gears mechanism that converts electrical to rotational mechanical energy are working properly, and there is no obstacle in there movement nor the braking mechanism is blocking the movement.
Hope, now you get a wider picture on how to tackle with the scenario. Kindly do perform the general test and do let me know, what you found. Hoping to hear from you soon.
Have a nice day,
Concerned.

i have the same problem with my pride hurricane ,
i am looking into the throttle potentiometer to see if that is the
problem,
i will post on here if i find out,
let me know how you get on !

Boy I hate working on scooters too many things can go wrong to make them not work. First make sure you are not in freewheel Make sure the lever at the rear of the scooter is in drive position. and you can't push the scooter easily without powering it up. If its not in freewheel then the problem could be a throttle pot problem or a speed pot problem or even a motor problem and there is no way I can troubleshoot your problem in this format. I would suggest that you have your provider check it or if Medicare paid for it have a repair service fix it for you. Sorry can't really give you a precise answer on whats wrong Good Luck Hope this helps

Thanks everyone for your suggestions, i will pass them on to my son-in-law who is going to look at my scooter on saturday.
Well, my son-in-law gave scooter a service and a good clean but couldn't find anything wrong. However, after he'd finnished it was working! Took it for a test drive, all ok. Went out the next day, ok. then the following day the beeping started again and it wouldn't move. Oh well, back to the drawing board. Thanks again for your suggestions, they were a big help.
Update on my scooter problem. Got an engineer out and he found the fault. The carbon brushes had worn down at an angle, they were replaced and my scooter works fine now.
Are you CERTAIN the freewheeling levers are not in the wrong position?
