What if my scooter does not move when I engage the throttle control lever?

When the manual freewheel lever is pushed forward, the brakes are disengaged and all power to the

motor/transaxle assembly is cut.

Push rearward on the manual freewheel lever, turn the scooter off, and then turn the scooter on to return

to normal scooter operation. 

What if the main circuit breaker repeatedly trips? 

If the main circuit breaker trips repeatedly, see your authorised Pride Provider for service.

Charge the batteries more frequently. See IV. “Batteries and Charging.”

If the problem continues, have both of your scooter’s batteries load tested by your authorised Pride

Provider.

You may also perform the load test yourself. Battery load testers are available at most automotive parts

stores. Follow the directions supplied with the load tester.

See IV. “Batteries and Charging” or the specifications table for information about your scooter’s bat-

tery type.

What if the battery condition meter dips way down and the motor surges or hesitates when I engage

the throttle control lever? 

Fully charge your scooter’s batteries. See IV. “Batteries and Charging.”

Have your authorised Pride Provider load test each battery.

See the previous troubleshooting question for load testing the batteries yourself.

If you experience any problems with your scooter that you are not able to solve, immediately contact your

authorised Pride Provider for information, maintenance, and service.
