Pride Victory 3 electric motor will not engage the wheels.

either a battery or cable problem long stretch would be breaker and lastly motor if cables get hot try replace them first with larger wire sounds like a resistance problem assumeing your batteries are good and motor brushes good

check the freewheel lever on th rear of the chair near the right rear wheel if you can push the scooter easily then you are in freewheel locate the lever and move it to the drive mode and try to drive the scooter again if it still won't move then you have other problems that can only be checked by a service tech Hope this helps

hi ,

so first take off the seat, please be carefull how you do this as they can be heavy,

Now remove the cover , again carefull as there may be some wires connected for the lights so discconect these,

Now look for the break located on the side of the motor ( can be a gold colour), check the wires here, make sure they are a good connection, now check the battery teminals , are they loose check the wiring here, now does the brake click when you move the throttle lever, it may be a really faint click, no click then check the connections leading to the controller, normally a black or blue box.

IT could also be the fact that the batteries are faulty and appear fully charged, again check the charger making sure it is really charging , last of all it could be in fact a controller fault or brake fault

Please rate my help.

Regards,

Hi
I am Afraid your Potentiometer is Faulty , You need to Purchase a New one,'

It Just goes Click Click Click.

the click is the electric brakes releasing , most likly the problem you are having is the brushes in the motor may be shot cheap easy fix on each side of the motor there should be what looks like a flat head screw those are the brush covers remove them and check them replace as need , otherwise the motor may be shot

Hi, sounds like the speed pot that is attachment to the throttle lever is worn and needs replacing, this is normally a 5K pot,

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, I first suggust you make sure that Freewheel is disengaged,

to test this try to push the scooter forward if it moves forward move the lever ,

Check the Wigwam or throttle controls to make sure they are not loose,

Check for reset switches under the seat or on the steering stem,

Check for car type fuses under the seat.

hi,

it not a flywheel, it's sounds like the brake either seized on or the controller is activating it ,

Now you will need to remove the brake mech on the side of the electric motor , and now you should be able to drive the scooter.

Please let me know how you get on.

hi, if the freewheel lever is jammed which is located on the drive motor, take the rear cover off and make sure the lever is not bent,

you will see how the freewheel lever is mounted under normally a rubber cover on the side of the electric motor ,

Let me know
