The Legend 4 wheel XL scooter has a S drive controller. This is an assumption based on the model described. I would have to run the serial number to be certain. With the S drive controller a beep code of 6 indicates a bad throttle potentiometer or a throttle potentiometer which is out of neutral on start up. You can test for this by turning off the scooter and attempting to try various neutral positions of the pot, and turning the scooter on with your other hand while maintaining this neutral position. This usually works by trial and error.
The more technical way is to remove the front console covers and inspect the pot mechanism visually checking the spring and movement and electronically using a digital volt meter.
If you do indeed have a code for the charger plugged in (and of course it is not), then you have a bad charger. These chargers are notorious for going into drive inhibit when they burn out and the computer will give a code of charger plugged in. To test for this, you need to remove the cover to get to the charger and unplug the charger on the output side. If the scooter runs you have a bad charger that is stuck in drive inhibit (electronically equivalent to the scooter being plugged into an AC wall outlet). Hope this helps.

Led power light on my Pride victory xl4 scooter will not come on when key is turned on. Batteries are charged and lights work but scooter wont move.

Check under the back end, generally connect to the electric motor is a lever by one of the back wheels, or in the case of "pride" sometimes they have knob that is lifted or dropped above the housing to engage or disengage the electric brake on the motor. If it is disengaged the scooter will not move by the motor, but you should be able to move the scooter manually, sometimes it gets "between" where it should be! If it is engaged, you shouldn't be able to move the scooter by pushing or pulling. Once your sure it is engaged, turn off the scooter wait a moment, then turn it back on. There is one more reason that may cause you a issue, the scooter can not be connected to the charge cord, disconnect it from the scooter and again turn off the key, and then turn on again to reset the scooter interface. These are both safety connections. Some of the newer ones will also "beep" if these situations are happening, and stop beeping when reset..

Wont move beeps several times battery dial shows full

Check the "neutral" lever just above the right rear wheel. It is probably not engaged. If the Go-Go rolls freely, that is the simple fix. If that isn't it, look at your manual on page 33 for the beep codes to tell you what's wrong. If you don't have the manual, here is a link to the free download site...
