Charger Problems & Charging Troubleshooting Guide
Charging Problems
Electric Scooter will not charge.
Proper operation of a charger: When plugged into the wall, the charger
light should illuminate green. Then when plugged into the scooter
charger socket, it should turn red and remain red until the scooter is fully
charged. (Charging time will vary depending on how low the battery is) At
that time, the charger shuts off and the light will turn to green indicating
charging is complete.
1. Check to see if charger is operating properly. If yes, proceed to step 3.
2. If charger is not operating properly, charger is bad. Replace charger.
3. Open the battery cover and locate the back of the charger socket.
There should be 2 wires coming from the socket leading to the controller.
Verify that both wires are attached. If they are, then follow those wires to
the controller and ensure that the wire connector that attatches the
charger socket wires to the controller is securely connected. If all wires
are connected properly, proceed to step 4.
a. If either of the 2 wires behind the charger socket is not attached, the
charger socket needs replaced. Replace charger socket.
b. If the wire connectors from the charger socket to the controller are not
connected, re-connect them.
4. Check the fuse. The fuse is located in the red fuse holder that comes
from the controller and leads to the battery terminal. If the fuse is blown,
replace fuse. If fuse is not blown, proceed to step 5.
5. Test the voltage of each battery. Proper readings should be around
12V for each of the 3 batteries. If all batteries test well, proceed to step
6. If any or all batteries do not test at the proper voltage, battery(s) need
replaced. Replace batteries.
6. Test motor. Do this by making a direct connection to the battery. You
will need to find some insulated wire to do this procedure and cut 2
pieces approximately 6-8 inches in length.
a. Raise the scooter so that the rear wheel does not touch the ground.
b. Remove the battery cover and locate the 2 wires that come from the
motor. Disconnect the motor wires from the controller. (This is easily
done by un-clipping the wire clips)
c. Using the 2 jumper wires, attach the first jumper to the red, positive
wire inside the wire clip coming from the motor. Do the same with the
black, negative wire coming from the motor. Then, take the red wire and
make contact with the positive + terminal of the battery and do the same
with the black wire on the negative - terminal.
i. If the motor starts and the rear wheel turns, the motor is good and the
scooter has a bad controller. Replace controller (See page 5, step 1)
ii. If the rear wheel does not turn, the motor is bad. Replace motor.
