SOURCE: I have a pride victory xl8. Problem - was running

All scooters have a protection system built in to prevent burning up the motor, and the user, should the scooter overheat. It sounds like yours overheated. If the temp. outside was warm to hot, and your weight is near the weight limit for the scooter, and you are taxing the motors over a hill, or unstable terrain, then the scooter goes into "limp home mode", or just enough to get you a bit aways, and then it will turn off. After a few minutes to cool off, it will go again, but shut down fairly quickly because it takes a spell to let the whole transaxle-motor assembly to get cool.

Check your weight, and anything else you may be carrying with you on the scooter. Check the terrain, and incline you are going against. Throttle down for all these occassions. If you overloaded the system at some point, then you may have overheated the brushes. Remove them (2) with a standard screwdriver and see if the copper coil is still flexible and springy. If not, replace it/them.

The damage may already be done, so it may need a new motor/transaxle assembly. An expensive proposition I'm afraid.

SOURCE: wiring for pride rally scooter.

Sorry but your probably going to have to get this to a service technician. That is a big problem you have there. Most wiring is`nt even color co-ordinated so it`s not a matter of matching up colors. I`d call a professional,

SOURCE: Pride Celebrity Deluxe Mobility Scooter - Serial Number

Hi. The serial number will be on a sticker on the upright support that holds up the seat. You will have to lift of the seat, and take the cover off the batteries to see it. It should be on the front of the deat support. Neil.

Moter runs good but brushes burn out even when not under load

Next time you use it, have an amperage meter connected to check for the draw of motor. Excessive draw caused by faulty motor can be responsible for the issue.

Where can i get brushes for pride hurricane in uk

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.

The scooter runs but super slow, I purchased two brand new batteries but it continues with the same problem.

hi,

Is there any change speed when you change from 4mph to 8mph ?

if not first check the controller under the seat, normally a black box, make sure that all connection onto the controller are clean and tight,

Check the motor brushes, undo the screw caps carefully,these can be brittle , remove the brushes clean , make sure the brushes move freely within the motor,

Check the brake on the side the motor, this normally has a freewheel attached to it,

Remove the brake unit but do not disconnect the two wires, and test again is the brake clicking when you power away, if not it's not releasing hence the slow speed, check the brake for open or shorted connection.

Regards
GeWiz.

Pride celebrity XL won't go.

Have you checked the motor brushes for wear and spring tension, sometimes the spring becomes brittle and breaks but can sometimes still make contact.
