I have a Sterling Micro 3 wheeled scooter. When I turn the throttle off the scooter carries on rolling and does not stop like it used to. Anybody know whats gone on my scooter?

Hello I looked up the specs on this and the max weight for this scooter is 136kg or 300 lbs (give or take a few ounces) you may find this information here:

Hope this answers your questions.Have a great day.

Check for error codes. Move free wheel lever in and out a few times in case the brake micro switch is not making correctly.
Check speed control is not turned down low.

6 beeps =
Throttle lever (pot) is not in center position. Return throttle lever
to center position, then turn scooter OFF then ON.

The E100 is a Kick Start scooter, the Rear Wheel has to be Spun for it to start. This scooter will not start from a motionless position.

Could be the battery.
Put the Scooter on a block so the rear tire is raised. Remove the standing plate to reveal the battery compartment.
Charge the Unit completely

1. Using a multimeter measure the voltage across the batteries. If the voltage is below 20 volts batteries are dead - Replace batteries.
2. Now for a running test. Turn the throttle and spin the rear tire to preform a kick start. Still measuring the voltage. If the voltage is Below 20 volts or if the voltage drops quickly batteries are dead - Replace batteries.
3. If the voltage is remaining around 24 volts for a long period - then you could have connector problems, clean and tighten all connectors.
I use a fiberglass electronic cleaning brush, as contact cleaners leave residue that interfere with electrical connections.

See my other posts for E100

The Sterling Sapphire is not sold in the USA so, you may want to verify this information with a local technician however; 7 flashes or beeps is commonly a throttle issue. When the problem starts and you have been driving for awhile, ensure the throttle lever is in the stop position, turn off scooter, wait 10 seconds and turn scooter back on. If that does not clear your problem: There should be two set screws (very small) that you can tighten with an allen wrench on the throttle lever. Make sure those are tight.

If this is a continuous problem, you may need a new throttle potentiometer.

Hi, it could be that the throttle has turned around within the throttle lever therefore no longer centre, look under the throttle stem, you should see a cross head now that should be in align with you when sitting on the scooter...you will need to loosen the throttle and realign if that is the case...
