Usually turning the key off and removing it then re inserting the key and turning it back on without touching the paddle levers. If that doesn't fix it then the speed pot will need to be replaced.

According to the owner's manual for this scooter, flash code 7 indicates a speed control lever fault. This is the lever that you push to go forward and reverse. The lever is attached to a throttle potentiometer to control the speed of the scooter. The lever has to be in the middle or neutral position when the scooter is turned on, if not, you will get a 7 flash code. If the throttle potentiometer is damaged you will also get a flash code 7.
You can try to adjust the throttle pot or try manipulating the neutral position and turning the scooter on and off until the computer sees neutral. This is a potential work around and will cause the scooter to creep forward when running with hands off the throttle lever because there is no zero setting. I usually just replace the throttle potentiometer and this solves the problem. I hope this helps.
1. Check wiring for open/short circuits.
2. Check the throttle set-up.... The ohms should be very close to each other when placed checking forward and reverse on set up.
Yup you got a code seven failure code, speed pot malfunction . What
pots typically do is that they oxidise. This pot is a variable
rersistor that opeates between 0 - 30k ohms. When tuning the pot it
shoud ram up and down smoothly. To test for this You may also need a VOM meter only $9

batteries from the scooter. Simply attach the multimeter to the pots
terminals, select correct ohms scale and watch the needle. Th needle
when turning the pot should move gracefully up to 30k down to zero as
the pot dial scooter speed increases. Failure is detected when the
needle jumps around, the oxidation causes the pot to connect
inteermitently. USE CRC CONTACT Cleaner to get the oxidation out of the
pot. The potss are not sealed so there are little holes you can spray
into. Use liberal of cleanner.

Hi. Many scooters will display this fault code if the potentiometer is not exactlly centred when you turn on the key. The pot is not always faulty. Some scooters also have a smaller additional pot to controll the speed. If this pot is faulty it will cause the same fault code. Any other switches such as indoor/ outdoor switches. I have had a few machines fitted with curtis controllers where the fault is in the controller.
Check the wiring and plugs and connectors.
Good luck. Neil.
