I have a Legend 2002 (3 wheel) with batteries that are less than a year old, and the scooter only gets used maybe once a month for a day or so. The problem I keep having is that, after about an hour of normal use I start to smell a burning plastic smell and occasionally a squeal when stopping and starting, and then the scooter stops working. Once it cools down, though, it will go a little more. Any ideas?
Hi, could be your brake dragging ? (located on the side of the motor) touch this with care =after using the scooter is it hot ? Are your sure a wheel not rubbing against bodywork ? ,
Regards

It could be a loose battery connector and the controller heats up when it's trying to pull amperage out of the batteries but can't because of the loose connection Try tightening bolts on batteries but disconnect them first. Also it could be the brake on the motor and if the unit isn't shutting off the lights on the tiller blink in patterns to let you know what problems to check for.

sounds to me like the power controller pot located on the handlebar lever that you use to go forward and reverse ? , is there any up and down movement with this lever , if so that will be causing intermittant power delivery.

It is often a damaged accelerator (Potentiometer). Sometimes the shaft on the wigwag breaks the contacts in the accelerator from being moved too vigorously when going over a bump too fast. A technician would need to repair this for you. Happy scooting. Regards Chris… [email protected]
SOURCE: I have a Pride Legnd..the scooter started loseing
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.

SOURCE: Back wheels make a loud clicking noise
Hi. Loud clicking noises from the rear wheels are usually caused by movement of the square steel key that fits into a groove on the axle inside the wheel hub. This is what drives the wheels.
You will probably get a click for each revolution of the wheels.
To fix it, remove the rear wheels and wipe a thin smear of grease on the key and axle, then replace the wheels.
The grease will allow the key to move slightly without making a noise, and help stop it from wearing.
It sometimes helps to also remove the front wheels, and wipe a thin smear of grease onto the front stub axles. There is no key in the front hubs, but the grease helps to prevent the bearings siezing on to the axles.
Good luck. Neil.
