My go go elite Scooter will not work. its only just over a year old. it's not been used for a few months. When put on charge the charger shows its fully charged. When the scooter is swithched on the volt meter illuminates but doesn't register any charge at all, the horn works but thats it. The reset/cut out button has not ejected so that's fine. I've had a volt meter on the batteries & all looks good. Any ideas?

There are a few things you can try to troubleshoot this issue:

1. Check the charging cables and port for any visible damage or debris. Clean the charging port with a dry cloth if necessary.
2. Try charging the scooter with a different charging cable or power outlet to rule out any problems with the cables or outlets.
3. If the scooter is still not charging, the problem may be with the battery itself. Try charging the battery separately from the scooter using a compatible charger.
4. If the battery is not charging even when removed from the scooter, it may be faulty and need to be replaced.

If none of these steps help, it's possible that there is an issue with the scooter itself. In this case, it may be best to take it to a qualified repair technician for further diagnostics and repair.

Do you mean a charger plugged in for four months ? or the battery pack on the scooter for four months ? if it not charging and left on the scooter they will discharge and may never recover.

Leaving it on charge for four months ?, the charger will go into trickle charge mode once it fully charged the batteries, manufacturers will agree this is a good thing , if left for weeks and weeks , it should be charged up fully once a week if not in use and i recommend removing the battery case as i seen issues arise from leaving a battery pack on a scooter for long periods of time, for starters they discharge quicker,.

The battery is not taking the correct charge and is in need of replacement. Put a brand new battery in there and the problemo will be gone!

Have you left the charger plugged in as the scooter will not power up with charger plugged into the scooter for safety reasons.

make sure battery cables are secure at battery terminals and clean.how old are the batteries.If the batteries run down fast they are no good.a good way to test them is put scooter against some thing solid and go forward.If the battery indicator drops to o the batteries are no good.It takes about 10 hours to charge the batteries

Yes, you should buy new charger

PCassels Check the brake located on the rear of the motor. If the brake is dragging on the motor housing it will cause heat and slow the scooter down. If you can, remove the brake from the motor but leave the wires connected. Tie the brake up so it won't fall and see if that makes a difference in speed and heat reduction. Don't overcharge the batteries Charge overnite or until the green light on the charger comes on indicating a full charge. Never charge more than 10 hours for this scooter. Now with the brake not on the motor the scooter will not have brakes so watch out on ramps and steep inclines. If it is only a few months old then it is still under warranty and you need to contact the provider that sold the scooter to get it repaired correctly Hope this helps

I just fixed this problem in a Go Go Elite that was less than 6 months old. We would plug in the charger and the "charge" light would not turn on, just the "power light" I took out the battery pack (check manual for instructions), removed the cover (8 philips head screws) and checked the voltage on the two batteries. One read 4.5 volts and the other 4.7 volts. They should both read at least 11 volts, ideally 12 volts. Evidently the Pride charger will not work if it detects that the batteries are too low. So I took out one battery at a time and connected a 12 volt auto trickle charger to it for 3 hours on each battery. Checked voltages and it brought them back up to 11.5 volts. I reinstalled the battery pack and then connected the Pride charger and THEN it showed a "Charge" light. I left the pride charger on for 12 hours and it brought it up to full charge.
Advice: Don't let your batteries get too low or the factory charger will not work.

We have had problems with scooter batteries from time to time and the repair man said to take apart the battery case and disconnect the batteries and use a car charger. I put the two battery in parallel and used a amp battery charger. This worked fine.
Don't run your scooter batteries all the way down when using the Go Go as the scooter charger won't always bring them up to full charge and you may have repeat this. Also running the batteries all the way down shortens there life.

If you use it for an hour or so than I would charge it, at least 8 hours. Always charge it at least 8 hours. To find out if the batteries are bad have them load tested.
