Judy,
You have a dangerous situation there, The throttle does not sound like it is attached very well to your lever. When you release the lever and the scooter keeps going! This is not safe. The throttle must be in the center of the throttle pots range. Most throttle pots are 5000 ohms. So the center is 2500 ohms or in neutral. The the throttle lever must be checked for cracks in the middle, which release the pressure of the setscrew on the pot shaft. also the return spring may be broken, which would cause a similar situation. Please check these things or get a tech on this before using this scooter again, for your safety and others safety. Scooter Doctor App

hi, first you need to check the connections to the batteries then to the motor controller, and don't dismiss the speed pot, disconnect the speed pot and try a normal 5K pot inplace of it, if the scooters responds you find the problem just a case of getting the right speed pot. Check the freewheel switch, normally it located on the motor side.

Hi. Does the machine stop suddenly, or does it slowly stop as it normally would? Does this happen on hills or slopes?
A lot of scooters have a self-resetting circuit breaker connected to the battery leads. If the machine draws to much current ( amps ) then the circuit breaker trips out. After a few minutes the circuit breaker will reset and you can continue.
This could mean that the circuit breaker is faulty or that the motor is drawing to much current, or is burnt out.
Some machines have a very light duty circuit breaker, and these can trip out often. I have changed many of these circuit breakers for this reason.
Check all your battery leads are secure and tight.
If it is still a problem, get a serviceman to check the motor current is what it should be.
Good luck. Neil.
SOURCE: my scooter when I press the throttle to go forward
hi i hsave a pride legend classic mobility scooter it will run ok for a few yards then suddenly stop but if u wait for a bit it will go again whats the problem thanks
SOURCE: Go Go Scooter travels in reverse, but when going
csr4 Well it could be the throttle pot or the speed control pot My leanings is toward the throttle pot since it works in reverse with the speed pot not being changed but not forward. when you are just changing the position of the throttle to forward thereby changing the pot wiper and getting the error. Contact Pride about the problem at 1-800-800-8586 and ask for Tech support for scooters and explain your problem to them. I hope this helps
