SOURCE: Priderear wheels intermittentant response and sometime fail to engage?
First it could be the brake switch. This switch is located on
the back side of the motor. Its usually apart of the freewheel assembly. This device gives me all kinds of trouble. It can get moist and even wet when you use the scooter outside. This causes the mechanism too get stiff. So i spray it with pure silicon spray. WARNING Do NOT USE WD40 eats some plastics.
IT sounds to me like you have one or more shorted windings on the
armature of your drive motor which is apart of the trans-axle assembly.
TO BE SURE remove the entire trans-axle module. I have a Rascal 600t all
i have to do to remove my trans-axle is to remove to quick pins and my
entire trans-axle assembly comes away from the scooter. Take the entire
assembly down to your local motor repair shop that can rewind motors.
Thay will check out the motor, take it apart and clean all the carbon
dust from the brushes that gets all over the interior of the motor,
doesn't do the motor bearing any good. Rewinding a motor isn't
inexpensive costing $200 and up depending on the size and complexity of
the motor. But the scooter trans-axle cost is astoundingly high at
$1,500 and up. They say they are sealed unit and that they can not be
repaired. In reality trans-axles are quite simple to repair and easily
repaired. The only difficult thing are the scooter companies that will
not come across with the parts and info we need in order for us to keep
our scooters in good repair. So ii'd take the trans-axle down to the
motor shop. They don't charge anything to check it out. When they do
maintenance you will know its working right. When troubleshooting
problem with scooter you eliminate half the machine when you eliminate
the trans-axle. Get back to me once you've checked it out
