Scooter Will Not Run Troubleshooting Guide
Scooter will not run
Scooter is turned on, speed and battery indicators are illuminated but the
scooter will not move.
X-Treme Electric scooters are manufactured with a safety device called a
"Brake Kill Switch". This devise cuts power to the motor whenever the hand
brake is engaged. If the brake kill switch is adjusted too tight, the speed
indicator and battery indicator will illuminate when the key is turned on but the
scooter will not run when the hand throttle is turned.
1.Check the adjustment setting of the brake kill switch.
a. Loosen the brake adjustment by turning the silver brake cable adjuster
where the brake handle and brake cable meet. If this did not fix the problem,
proceed to step B.
b. Remove the battery cover and locate the set of wires coming from the
controller (black box with all the wires coming out) labeled "Brake". This is the
brake kill switch. Disconnect the brake kill switch from the controller by
disconnecting un-clipping the wire connectors. If the scooter now operates
properly, the safety is adjusted too tight and needs re-adjusted. See step a
above. If the scooter still does not run, proceed to step 2 below.
2. Check the ignition.
a. Raise the scooter so that the rear wheel does not touch the ground.
b. Remove the 4 screws that hold the dash assembly together and un-snap
the back of the dash to remove it. (The screws are located on the back of the
dash that faces the rider). Locate the back of the ignition module and ensure
both wires coming from the module are connected. If both wires are not
connected, the ignition is bad and needs replaced. If wires are connected
properly, proceed to step b below.
c. Obtain a small piece of wire or using a flat head screwdriver, connect the 2
wires directly behind the ignition together. If the scooter begins to run when
the throttle is turned, the ignition is bad and needs replaced. If the scooter still
does not run when the ignition is shorted and the throttle is turned, check the
motor. (See page 3 step 6)
