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.

I would contact pride or a service centre as if you put the wrong grade of brush in the motor you can damage the comm and motor.

The motors are not cheap.

It sounds like the control module has failed, you need to get it checked. These links may help:

hi, first of all make sure the motors are engaged , move the drive levers a couple of times, check the connection form the motors to the controller..

Things to check : Condition of the brake actuator and the condition of the brake shoes. If there are no flashing lights indicating a problem with the controller, then I would think it's all mechanical.

Hi. If the light flashes 7 times, it has a speed controll fault. It might be the throttle lever ( wig wag ), or it might be the speed pot that controls your top speed.
Try moving the throttle lever ends up and down while you are driving the machine. Doing this wont fix it, but it will highlight the problem, if the throttle lever is faulty. Also try moving the speed pot back and forward a few times.
Good luck. Neil.

hi, ok that's sounds about right, the speed pot hat is attached to the throttle lever is normally about 5K in value.

i have the same problem with my pride hurricane ,
i am looking into the throttle potentiometer to see if that is the
problem,
i will post on here if i find out,
let me know how you get on !

Hi, I take it been taken then, do you get a error codes ?

DIAGNOSTIC FLASH CODES

turned off, then turned back on.
Any electromechanical device occasionally requires some troubleshooting. However, most of the problems that
