Pride Answered Questions & Fixed Issues

Hi Ricky. It helps to have make and model in all questions. This place sells used ones for $20 upwards depending on make. https://www.wheeliegoodmobility.com/used-mobility-scooter-speed-potentiometers.html Lots more here https://www.google.com/search?q=mobility+scooter+potentiometer+control ..

Hi, the correct info is found the following link , http://www.pride-mobility.co.uk/docs/GO-GO%20Elite%20Traveller%20Plus%20owner%20manual.pdf Regards Rob www.gewizrepairs.co.uk

You say it still had a binding feeling in neutral ... check the wheel bearings and output shafts.

There is a YouTube video of a guy who got one to do 70 mph! Basically, you just need the battery, a potentiometer and the motors. I reckon a floor mounted sewing machine foot pedal would work! People have already worked out how to do it. https://www.google.com/search?q=pride+mobility+scooter+speed+limiter+removal Thanks for the kind comments :>D ..

Unfortunately, NOT using them is worse than using them all the time. Using it, might free it up. Find a big empty car park and do Start - Stop - Start, flat out runs for 30 minutes. This is a common problem often caused by the potentiometer (pot) in the centre of the Wigwag (Accelerator.) This part takes a lot of "abuse" and the pot causes an intermittent electrical connection resulting in a very jerky ride. Try spraying a contact cleaner spray in the pot but most often the potentiometer will need to be replaced by a technician. https://www.pridemobility.com/go-go-travel-mobility/go-go-elite-traveller-4-wheel/

The kids in the shop were probably racing it. Just take it back. Makes sure both batteries are charged and the terminals are clean and tight.

Your scooter needs a new battery then and needs to be replaced.

Question edited for clarity and punctuation. Question moved from Cars and Trucks to Pride Legend. If it is inside the motor is is likely to be bearings. You would need to remove the motor, test it out of the scooter and see if it still make the noise. If it does, then it need a full disassembly to find out what is worn? My view is that is more likely to be the brake rubbing, or a stick/leaf stuck behind the wheel.

Take it in for service. It sounds like it has been modified or something is stuck in the motor fans. We are Fixya, we aren't the maker of your unstated make and model scooter. I moved the question for one of our mobility scooter Categories, purely as a guess!

This sounds like it is trying to "Short Out". Turn off all the power to the chair and re-check your battery connections. A "Short" is where the electricity is trying to flow the Wrong way around the circuit. This will badly Damage you batteries if you keep trying to connect them. When connecting batteries together you ALWAYS connect a Positive (+) to a Negative (-). NEVER Positive to Positive or Negative to Negative. Start at the Negative wire, connect it to the Negative terminal on the first battery, (Battery One). Then on Battery One connect the Positive terminal to the Negative terminal on Battery Two. You now connect the chair's Positive cable to the Positive terminal on Battery Two. You should get NO sparks. Carefully turn on the chair's power. The batteries should NOT spark and should NOT get hot quickly. **CAUTION** If it does spark or get hot quickly after you have done this TURN EVERYTHING OFF and disconnect the negative cable. This means there is a problem somewhere else in the chairs electrics.

Question edited for clarity. For your S740 model, there is not a lot as far as maintenance. There is for the P65. https://www.google.com/search?q=Mini+Crosser+S740+mobility+scooter+maintenance+manual ..

Hello you may check this out. You can also buy the batteries here.

Easy enough to replace the £2 control. Take it to a television repair shop.

You have a fault in one of the following , blown fuse , faulty switch , faulty motor . With a volt meter or trouble light check for battery voltage at the motor while in drive mode , if there is battery voltage the motor is at fault , if no voltage check bask till you find voltage and the fault .

The batteries may be too old to take a charge. They are gell cell types and can be had at any battery shop. You can get them on line too, but shipping will be high.
