Bought a ezip 900 electric scooter at goodwill, bought a charger and it charged right up, rode a short distance stopped now no juice, bought new batteries, wont charge, cant find fuses, any thoughts?

SOURCE: ezip 150 electric scooter. won't start.

Hi, did you charge the batteries for at least 8 hours? Make sure that your charger has a RED Light When you plug it in, You should see Green light in 4-8 hours depending on the Batteries.
Secondly Your scooter batteries were dead when you got the Scooter, Judging from the fact you didn't get a Charger with it. I would recommend getting a voltmeter and checking the battery voltages. If the voltage is 11-12 volts, then you need new batteries. If this doesn't work check that fuse on the scooter it could be blown.

SOURCE: When i charge my ezip

I'm having the same problem. checked fuses and both are good. going through the wiring harness to look for shorts. have a bad feeling the micro controller died, that is the little plastic box with metal fins on it under the seat post behind the batteries ******* to the frame. i can bypass the micro-controller and connect one 12 volt battery directly to motor and runs full speed. somehow it is wired with 2 - 12 volt batteries in series to give 24 volts and them the processor cuts back down to 12 volts to run the motor. not sure why this is engineered this way? still working the problem. what sucks so far is that the micro controller is encased in resin so it is virtually non repairable.

Found these wiring harness for sale online scooter stores and on ebay. I replaced mine with some intermediate level adapting the harness to my model scooter and this includes some soldering and wire splicing changing power connector heads off old harness to new harness to fit bike. Works great.

SOURCE: ezip 400 will not charge...fuse is fine, bought new charger, still won't charge. The charger always shows green. When throttle is turned, you can hear a slight ticking noise...what can it be?

I am seeing several posts where this is recurring. Has anyone found a solution to this? Thank You..
