Hi , that's a brake issue , check the microswitch located on the brake , check the wiring connection to the brake and then the resistance, about 30 to 60 ohms ...

Is this the micro switch that is stopping the scooter from moving.

Sounds like the brake froze up on you. It's the part that is attached to the motor with a handle on it to switch free-wheel and drive mode. Try spraying some WD-40 into it and flip the handle up and down a few times then give it a go.

SORRY,BUT THEY CAN'T BE CHANGED BUT ON UP SIDE THESE R SMOOTHER

You can try to do this with the cover off, just in case it is not seated properly and holding the lever from fully engaging. The actual swithc is a small microswitch down at the brake, and it can get dirt in it and that will stop it from working, or it may even fail, and need to be replaced. So I would:
1) try it woth the shroud off the motor using.
2) look for dirt around the switch.
3) take a paperclip and jump the scooter side of the switch to bypass the microswitch on the scooter, be careful not to short the jumper to the scooter frame.
Let me know how you make out.

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. 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 goes 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. My scooter a 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, 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
