Hi, That sounds like the speed pot is faulty,

When going along push the lever in the upwards direction as well as forward , does it speed up ? does it response ? if so then that's the problem.

There could be a issue with the metal key making a good contact when inserted.

SOURCE: I have a pride scooter that will not run at top

hi, first check the speed throttle by moving it in the upwards direction while the speed control is turned fully on, if there is a response to moving the speed pot in up and down direction , you founf the fault, otherwise the speed control is at fault, if thats proves to be okay then its the controller breaking down , check the brushes on the motor.

How do you bring up the speed on Fortress 1700 Mobility Scooter? Someone turned down the speed with an App or iPod.

Question edited for clarity..

There is no listed way to increase the speed past maximum. The maximum, speed is set to 5.5 mph.

https://www.google.com/search?q=fortress+1700+scooter+calibrate+speed

And the manual tells no way to connect to an App or Phone

https://www.sunrisemedical.ca/getattachment/42d3c2b0-1d8e-4fce-b395-2b8a634ab79d/.aspx

Manual states.

The scooter is electronically operated. Certain parameters have
been factory-set
. These settings are designed to allow comfortable and efficient use. These parameters cannot be changed. The standard version of your scooter was tested according to the strictest EMI requirements. Mobile telephones have no influence on the driving behaviour of the scooter.

https://www.manualslib.com/manual/804073/Handicare-Fortress-1700dt.html?term=phone&selected=3&page=51#manual

Manual says

The scooter drives too slowly. - Turn the speed control knob to the right.

Here you go. It has a Speed Control Knob!! It is in the middle of the console and sets the maximum speed from the Levers.

https://www.manualslib.com/manual/804073/Handicare-Fortress-1700dt.html?page=21&term=speed+control&selected=2#manual

When in doubt Read the Manual!

This is an indication that the scooter went into freewheel mode. Reset the freewheel lever. IF that does not fix the issue, the sensor for freewheel may be bad or loose or the control board has a problem

Why is my Aerolite mobility scooter lacking speed? I have had it recently serviced and they found the speed controller loose, They said they fixed it. But now its slower then before what can be wrong?

hi Steph , the speed controller being loose would not affect speed unless there is a bad connection now ...in most cases it's either brushes or brake not releasing 100% or the motor has become retarded sadly...

if it has a 4 to 8 mph switch make sure the cable to the controller has not been damaged ...

My go go elite scooter suddenly dies seems to happen on the slow speed the control panel seems warm.

You might be over the weight capacity for this little scooter. When you overload it, the controller senses and overheating and slows the scooter down to prevent burning up the electrical system. When it has cooled, it will operate normally again. If you aren't overloading it, or if the previous owner did in case it's used, then the PC board needs to be replaced which is located inside the top of the tiller cover and the speed pot conects to this board. They aren't too expensive; about $30.00 from a Pride dealer. Take the shroud covering the tiller assembly apart by removing the screws that hold the clamshell cover together. Take the knob off the speed control and you will see an electronics board with several snap-on connections to it. This is what gets replaced.

There is no power

Seems like you are on the right track and you can save alot of money there. I would aproach this systematically trace the power to the switch then t0o the speed controller and back to moter you can also put some jumpers from a battery to the moter connections.
If it is in such new condition then it must be a damaged or loose connection.
