Sounds like a throttle pot fault (the part that the throttle lever is attached to). This would need testing at a dealer or with a volt meter (set to ohm's) and if found to be faulty, will need replacing. If you test it yourself, there is usually a number on the top of the pot, usually 5k or 20k and this is what you need to set your meter too. Place the probes from the volt meter, black onto the centre wire and red onto either of the other wires (there should be 3) and slowly press the throttle lever first forward, then reverse, and constantly keep an eye on the reading from the volt meter. The reading should go up to approx. the number on the top of the pot, i.e. a 5k pot should read about 4.9 to 5.1 ish on the meter. If this number fluctuates up or down quite rapidly while the lever is held in a static position, it will indicate a faulty pot. This is in fact a common fault with nearly all makes and models of scooter and usually a fairly cheap and quick repair.

Hi, my wife's freerider Mayfair mobility scooter keeps going slow, have turned speed control down but still seems to loose power, doesn't stop just slows then reverts back to the speed set.

there are four possible reasons why a mobility scooter loose power including the user weight (vs. max weight of a mobility scooter), the weather condition, the riding routine and the battery age. You can check those factors to figure out the root cause. http://trustedmobilityscooters.com/reasons-mobility-scooters-loose-power

My bruno regal 44 scooter seems to slow down after a few hundered meters, once I stop, its at full speed again, is the a safety feature?

You maybe experiencing a brake hanging up, causing drag on the motor. the brain box senses over current use and will automatically slow down. The motor brushes maybe worn down and have a build up of carbon powder, particularly on the bottom side of the motor, causing this problem, remove brushes and blow out with compressed air, no Sprays please this can cause more harm than good. Note take out all brushes before blow it out with air. Check brushes springs are not discolored. http://www.strege.com/BlueDoc

Invacare meteor, keeps slowing down, then speeds up again, can you help.

usual cause of this is the throttle (wig-wag ) controll potentiometer has worn out.to test put the scooter against a wall and get a freind to lift up the rear of the scooter and put 2 large blocks of wood underneath it so the back wheels can rotate
carefully advance the throttle 1/2 way then with wheels turning.keep in same position and gently move the throttle lever up and down .if there is a lot of play and the speed varies drasticaly then pot replacement reqd .you can get a dealer to order the correct one or get one off the internett but when fittinf if thr pot is not set to exact center with multimeter scooter will not move and produce off center error code

Slow speed

hi what happening to the battery power indicator while this happens ?

if you are sure the batteries are okay , look at the connections to the rear axle, making sure they are a good clean connection, you be amazed the problems with those connectors...

1. Motor breaking down.. ( Resistance changing ), Brush less motor otherwise check the brushes...
2.Brake coming on so slowing the scooter down.
3.The output stage of the controller is breaking down....

Regards
Rob

I have a Go Go scooter that is an older model. It

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.

Shoprider deluxe te-889af loses power when reversing

I think that this is usual to have a slower reverse speed for safety.But on your shoprider you should have 4mph and 8mph ,usually if you are at 8mph it won`t reverse at that speed, you have to go to 4mph ,look infront of you there is a dial this controls the speed that you go forward and reverse.If reverse speed needs to be increased turn the dial up,but don`t forget this also increases forwards.
