I have a Pride Legnd..the scooter started loseing speed, I would adj the speed pot and the unit would stop, adjust back down and unit would run, but slow. I left the speed speed controller alone and unit kept getting slower and slower then stopped altogether. I routinely charge the batteries and did so all night before unit quite. Meter shows full charge and now unit will not move, I used to hear a relay click in whenever I would go forward/backward, I mno longer hear this as well, I am sure the batteries are good, only 4 years on them but 10 years on the scooter and this is my 1st problem other than new batteries. any ideas????

Hi again ring 888-570-1113 pride spares in canada. MONSTER SCOOTER PARTS PHONE ..800-798-0325 .cheers

Have you checked the speed pot is not turned down too low?
No flash / beep codes.
I would check motor connector on drive unit, motor brushes.

csr4 Well it could be the throttle pot or the speed control pot My leanings is toward the throttle pot since it works in reverse with the speed pot not being changed but not forward. when you are just changing the position of the throttle to forward thereby changing the pot wiper and getting the error. Contact Pride about the problem at 1-800-800-8586 and ask for Tech support for scooters and explain your problem to them. I hope this helps

Hi
Please Check your Potientiometer also known as a Pot, This is your Speed Control and it may be on the way out after 4 Years ,

My Own Pot Packed up after 11 Months, Try to get a Second hand one as they are Expensive to buy,

Good Luck, Gerry.

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.

All scooters have a protection system built in to prevent burning up the motor, and the user, should the scooter overheat. It sounds like yours overheated. If the temp. outside was warm to hot, and your weight is near the weight limit for the scooter, and you are taxing the motors over a hill, or unstable terrain, then the scooter goes into "limp home mode", or just enough to get you a bit aways, and then it will turn off. After a few minutes to cool off, it will go again, but shut down fairly quickly because it takes a spell to let the whole transaxle-motor assembly to get cool.

Check your weight, and anything else you may be carrying with you on the scooter. Check the terrain, and incline you are going against. Throttle down for all these occassions. If you overloaded the system at some point, then you may have overheated the brushes. Remove them (2) with a standard screwdriver and see if the copper coil is still flexible and springy. If not, replace it/them.

The damage may already be done, so it may need a new motor/transaxle assembly. An expensive proposition I'm afraid.

what about the overall connection , start at the handlebars from the speed pot,

Take off the rear cover , first remove the seat, pull the connector one by one and plug back in,

chec kthe connectors around the speed pot , in particualar if there is a circuit board.

that could be that you need a new pot for spped control bar, is there any up and down movement ? if yes that could be intermittant

Sounds like you have a bad throttle pot. You`ll need to check the resistance on it or take it to a dealer.

throttle pot or loose hex nut that holds the actual forward and reverse paddle, may be slipping
