Check under the back end, generally connect to the electric motor is a lever by one of the back wheels, or in the case of "pride" sometimes they have knob that is lifted or dropped above the housing to engage or disengage the electric brake on the motor. If it is disengaged the scooter will not move by the motor, but you should be able to move the scooter manually, sometimes it gets "between" where it should be! If it is engaged, you shouldn't be able to move the scooter by pushing or pulling. Once your sure it is engaged, turn off the scooter wait a moment, then turn it back on. There is one more reason that may cause you a issue, the scooter can not be connected to the charge cord, disconnect it from the scooter and again turn off the key, and then turn on again to reset the scooter interface. These are both safety connections. Some of the newer ones will also "beep" if these situations are happening, and stop beeping when reset..

After a fault has accorded with the scooter and you have reset the fault. Turn off the scooter with the key and count to 10 then switch on again. This will reset the fault in the system. If still have fault, try moving the lever in and out a few times in case the brake micro switch does not make circuit properly.
The freewheel lever is in the neutral position (which allows you to move the scooter around by pushing it. Turn the key switch off then move the lever to the drive position , turn it back on and it should run fine. The freewheel lever is sticking up through the plastic cowl. It is located under the seat on the right hand side near the rear of the sccooter
If your batteries are running very low, this is the most likely source of your problems. 80% of my scooter repairs involve batteries. The fact that your scooter runs is a good thing. The fact that it runs only a few feet and gives you no error code when it stops indicates the electronics have no battery power to indicate a flash code. The back wheels jamming probably relates to a no power condition causing the brake to lock (it takes power to release the brake and turn the motor)
This scooter uses two U-1 batteries that last between 1 and 2 years. From your description, I would replace the batteries first and make any further determination of any problems, if any,after that. These batteries are available locally at a large discount (between $50 and $160 each) and can be installed with basic tools, saving you money on the labor charge.
Shop around for the best price. Charge the new batteries fully before use. Enjoy.
Hope this helps.
`Hi. Sounds very much like a loose battery terminal, or a faulty battery lead connector.
I have also had a few machines that can start jerking because of worn or stuck motor brushes.
Also check the high/low speed switch if you have one, they sometimes cause problems.
How old are your batteries, worn out batteries can still be " fully charged", but are unable to supply the current ( amps ), that the motor needs.
Good luck. Neil.
