What does it mean if my scooter now refuses to hold a charge past 20 feet?

Batteries need to be checked out for sure! Check for full charge, next see if they are holding the charge. If either fail, then, you may need to replace one or all. You can go to a store that sells batteries and they can help you. Also, make sure all of your wiring is connected...follow it to ensure all wires are tight and in place.

If all 3 lights on the throttle are on when you start out then the batteries are probably dead. If only 1 light is on it could be a charging issue. My scooter is 3 years old now and the charging socket on the scooter is now having trouble making good contact with the charging plug. I hang a small amount of weight from the plug so the charging light on the charger stays on. How long a battery lasts depends on a number of factors. You should recharge them as soon as possible. It's better if you don't drain them of power completely. Batteries of the type on these scooters can only be recharged a certain number of times depending on how low you drain the batteries. There are other factors involved in the life of the batteries but this gives you an idea of what can effect the life of your scooter batteries. My batteries still provide enough power for the distance I usually travel and there the original batteries (3 years old). You can buy new batteries from Supper Scooter's (there's 3 of them in your scooter), or you may be able to buy them by looking at the AH rating on the batteries in the scooter and measuring there size then doing a search online for new one's. Good luck!

If the scooter only runs for 4 seconds the battery is discharged. You can verify this by checking battery with a voltmeter. Also check output voltage of charger with the meter. If the charger is indicating full voltage, you have a defective battery or a bad connection to it. In either case the battery is not charging. It is normal for it to run for 4 seconds if the battery is discharged. hope you resolve it soon they are a real blast to ride. Larry

i belive, you did everything correctly. It is something worng to the battery. Try to recharge again, just charge it whole night and try again. If problem is not resolved, just send it back, if its possible

It needs to be in the off position. Then when the charger plugs into the scooter, the little flat piece goes down. The charger is reddish when charging and green when finished.

It could be that the battery needs to be replaced. They go bad after being plugged in for too long. Take the battery out and see which one you need, they can be found for under 20$. But if this is a new system and it's acting up then it may be something else with an issue.

I think it might be that your battery is dead, LiIon batteries are highly sensitive to overcharge, meaning that they are damaged when you keep your charger connected after it has reached 100% charge. Get a new battery and try to avoid extreme charge states (full discharge and overcharge) are bad for your battery, dont let it fall under 20% and dont chrage it over 95%!! Hope this is helpful

Please check the drawing, which is shown together with the pictures. My motor unit was fixed on a foldable bicycle burnt after a 15 minute ride. The 24VDC controller bought from Monster scooter connectors melted. Have uninstalled the motor since it's shorted, brown liquid oozed out of the motor casing. Hope this helps.

Water is bad for the scooter. Check with the store for details. I wouldn't do it.

If you ran your copter for 5 minutes, the battery should definitely be low enough to need charging. So if there was never a green led while you had it plugged in for charging, then there is definitely something wrong with either the charger or the battery. I'm guessing it is the charger since you did get 5 minutes on the battery, but I could be wrong.

I think you must have gotten a faulty unit, mine lasts for at least a week on a full charge. I would contact support on that.

Try tightening the head (the 3 hex nuts under the handle bars). If you are scooter "savvy" then you will be able to get it dialed. I have this same exact scooter and I had that problem. So what I did is I went through my entire scooter and tightened the everything to the appropriate length. Also tighten the head with a adjustable wrench. Pick one up at the hardware store. Hope you get your scooter dialed!!Thanks,W. Shows

I know I am late with this but was not around my comp. I don't know if you accualy checked the voltage at the motor but if the motor is a few years old they will cease up and you can use wd-40 to free it. If it is free and the key is on when testing then u have a problem.

We had no problems with our scooters although it has been a while, the child I bought the first one for is now driving a car I will tell you if they ride thru a puddle it will short out and you will have to wait for it to dry.Good luck

Well, my husband said it gave too much power and started to send sparks through the wires. We had to take out the little conductor box and put back in the old one. Kept the new spark plug wires tho, seems to work fine now. I think it depends on your scooter. Best change we made was a new air filter, way more power now. Good luck!
