I am attempting to get an older Pride Sidekick scooter to run for my wife.

Pride Health Care Inc. Pittston PA JFMAMJJASOND 91 10976. The scooter worked several years ago when it was given to us. Now even with new batteries it won't free wheel or go - the yellow low charge light goes on when trying to go. Someone suggested it could be the motor brake. Have taken it off motor which now seems like it will move. I borrowed batteries so can't tell much for sure. Pride won't even give dealer any support - ideas? Is it too old to attempt to find parts?

SOURCE: wiring for pride rally scooter.

Sorry but your probably going to have to get this to a service technician. That is a big problem you have there. Most wiring is`nt even color co-ordinated so it`s not a matter of matching up colors. I`d call a professional,

SOURCE: have a harsh jerking movement while using

This is a common problem often caused by the potentiometer(pot) in the centre of the Wigwag (Accelerator.) This part takes a lot of “abuse” and the pot causes an intermittent electrical connection resulting in a very jerky ride. Try spraying a contact cleaner spray in the pot but most often the potentiometer will need to be replaced by a technician. Regards Chris…

SOURCE: The battery takes a charge, but will not power scooter

This scooter require two batteries, not one. It is usually a good idea to replace both batteries at the same time, even though one is obviously bad, and the other "seems" okay. These 12 volt DC batteries (VDC) work in tandem to produce the 24 volts that the scooter operates on. In a perfect world, they would both live a long and happy life, but reality is that some die young, others old. Since they are joined together, the one that's going out saps the life out of the other one, so take a bullet and replace both batteries. Make sure you completely charge the scooter when you get the new ones in. Verify that your charger is working properly. To properly charge the 24 VDC system, the chargers have to have an output of about 26-28VDC. The output must be higher than the rated voltage of the two batteries put together to charge. While you have the shell off the scooter, you can see if the charger is working by measuring across the terminal on each battery with the charger off. Note the meter reading. It should be 12-13 VDC. Put it on the charger and retake the reading, and each battery should show an increase in the voltage due to the boost from the charger. After three hours, each battery should show about a 13.5 VDC reading which should hold above 12 for a good 8-10 miles. Always charge your batteries overnight, and if not in use, disconnect them completely with a full charge on the batteries.

check the wiring from the batteries as a wire could have come loose.

My wife has a 3 wheeler Pride Go-Go Travel Mobility Scooter and the key broke off. I was installing new one and the console fell and the wire came out of the connector.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from Cars and Trucks category.

Pride Go-Go are a range of scooters in 3 and 4 wheel. With a multimeter, test continuity from pin to pin across the connector. The best idea is to take it to a local dealer as they have access to factory data. The controller wiring is complicated and models of controllers has changed over the years. There is some help in the link but not a lot.
