Why do I always get shocked when riding my scooter even when people touch me. At times it brings sparks to my body. How can I ground it?

never have had this problem. you could maybe get a grounding strap used for auto's and rework it to fit your go go

I have never been shocked, but I have nothing but good things to say about my scooter.

No problem, Susan. In point of fact, it *is* grounded, in a manner of speaking. Grounded to the grid, as it were. Suffice to say (and avoid allot of chatter about how AC differs from DC) that you're not going to get zapped by your sprouter. Or if you do, your electric company is to blame. The sprouter has a litany of faults all its own, but if it's certified by Underwriters Labs (which it must be), electrocuting its owners isn't among them (that I'm aware of). In all likelihood your motor will die long before any of this becomes an issue. Mine died within a month as I recall.

It rides very well on grass, however, if the ground is not fairly smooth you will feel every bump. I say this because I have spinal problems and that causes me to move very slowly on grass. Slow speed makes a bump easier to tolerate.

Running great on my 150cc Scooter.It seem that they will loose charge if you let them lying around for a few weeks, butthat is kind of normal.

No, my rider does not scoot up. There is a rubber kind of material on the bottom that keeps it from moving. She has never complained about this before. She is never really that far from me to scoot up. LOL!!!!!Norm

It's been at least a year since you posted this question, so I hope you've solved the problem by now. My parents had the same fight with me and my brother when we were young and solved it by slamming on the breaks when they saw our seat belts were off (obviously, they made sure the road conditions were safe for this!). I tumbled to the front of our van and my brother hit a cabinet. Then we got yelled at and (probably) spanked. We were unharmed, but very terrified by the experience and NEVER took our seatbelt off again. It's not a solution I can recommend, but it worked on me.

Thanks for your answer. Sorry that I didn't make my question clearer. I have a problem with static shocks in the winter. Every time I move out of my recliner, I get a strong jolt as soon as I touch anything metal. So, I was thinking that maybe an electric throw that is of course grounded might eliminate the nasty shocks. So, I guess I'm looking for someone who had the same problem and then lost it after using an electric blanket or throw.

Like any protection, you need to be aware of your surroundings. It's better to have spray shaken and ready in the on position when you get that "spidey tingling" sensation; you can always put it away, nothing lost.

its pretty normal, I mean you have a metal on metal contact to drive the nail.... how would a spark be abnormal? I get sparks off when using a hammer, so its nothing I would worry about.

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!

that is a good question, you might feel a small shock but most of the power from the stun gun will go to them, I have been shocked by my own and they def do hurt lol

There's a button on the side of the unit, press it and you should hear the result, loud sparking noise, if not you may have to charge the battery. Please don't try on your person, it'll know your sox off.

I bought the spark replacement for my grandson's scooter...my son believes the spark is created by magnesium... Hope that helps!

I dont feel like I have force anything or feel like its going break..but it does not accidently pop out of the mount after a hard bump. I like yhe light overall..especially usb charged and significant brightness. I feel that u were hit by a car comin at u ..they were texting or they meant to hit u.

It could be a diffrance in volts/ampsI have no issues with this making my iphone hot, but it is also in a handlebar grip getting air when I ride.

I had the same problem. I thought it was the carburetor so I ordered a new one, installed it and had the same problem. I figured out the problem was the valve clearance. When I took off the head, I found that the valves were improperly adjusted which is what caused it to die out when giving throttle. After I adjusted the valves, the scooter runs like new. Watch this video and you might solve the problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vl1mrTVCQ0. It's a simple procedure if you are mechanically inclined.
