Your scooter may have lost its inhibit resistor 10k resistor that some scooters had on the center post of the throttle pot to stop this from happening. but the throttle has to be out of neutral position in order for it to move on startup. The throttle pots are normally 5k ohm pot, about 2.5k from the center to either outside posts. It would be wise to replace the speed control and the throttle together. Basically the controller thinks it is being told to go right at start up, that comes from the throttle.

sounds like it might be a bad throttle pod, or the brake is overheating. If you can pull the rear shroud off and drive it for a while you can check to see if the brake is overheating. Be careful when checking it because if it is really hot it will burn your fingers. The throttle pod can be checked with an ohm meter but i'm not sure off the top of my head what reading you should get. let me know if you would go that far and i'll get it for you.
SOURCE: lost the main key and can't find the second key.
most keys for that type of scooter are the same, (not like a house or car key) call Pride 1-800-800-8586 for replacement or any Pride dealer can help you. Also, a paper clip can jump the ignition by placing it in their to get you around temp.

i would suggest there is either a loose connection or the speed control has failed, the scooter will still run but at a slow speed, the part is fairly standard in all scooters. if i can be any furthur assitance please email me rick @ lxrixta.co.uk (remove the spaces)
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. Your scooter is dropping into a fail safe mode and is telling you this by beeping. Most scooters have a service light on the tiller head that will flash out the failure code of the failure detected. Does your beep a number of times pause then beep this same pattern. 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 foes 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. 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 do 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
