The brakes on my new Pride Go Go Elite rattle, is this normal. how can I fix it

Not there isn't. It is a combined motor, brake and gearbox. Don't just buy a new one, find out what is wrong with the old one.

The hex nut on the motor needs tightening. Remove the brake and locate the hex nut on the Motor, there is 2 x grub screws that needs tightening with an allen key.

This is due to the controller shutting down. Make the brake leverin the on position

The park brake has got stuck, the brake needs to come off and be stripped down and cleaned, this will sort it.

Contact a local DME dealer in your area or, on the internet. Give them your serial number for the GOGO to order a new solenoid brake. It is important to have your serial number when ordering to ensure you get the correct part.

Replacement is the only option

I just fixed this problem in a Go Go Elite that was less than 6 months old. We would plug in the charger and the "charge" light would not turn on, just the "power light" I took out the battery pack (check manual for instructions), removed the cover (8 philips head screws) and checked the voltage on the two batteries. One read 4.5 volts and the other 4.7 volts. They should both read at least 11 volts, ideally 12 volts. Evidently the Pride charger will not work if it detects that the batteries are too low. So I took out one battery at a time and connected a 12 volt auto trickle charger to it for 3 hours on each battery. Checked voltages and it brought them back up to 11.5 volts. I reinstalled the battery pack and then connected the Pride charger and THEN it showed a "Charge" light. I left the pride charger on for 12 hours and it brought it up to full charge.
Advice: Don't let your batteries get too low or the factory charger will not work.

Hi...
Sounds like a bad brake linkage

This did not fix anything. However I have found that there is NO service infomation from Pride on these scooters. No shoes, nos shirt, NO SERVICE.

Not beeing an expert on these machines, owner of one that had brake troubles that I fixed, it sounds like the micro-switch on the brake assy. is not functioning, either due to miss adjustment (as mine) or failed switch. ronnell33.
