22. is is telling me that somewhere between the batteries fuse and charger socket you have an open circuit Please remove the floor plate and check the wires in this area You may find a wire that is not connected a connector that is not pushed together properly or a fuse holder that is not letting the fuse connect properly Troubleshooting Is It My Throttle Or My Controller These tests require a digital VOM Most E scooter throttles use Hall effect devices not potentiometers rheostats A Hall effect device is a chip that responds to a movable magnet If you have a digital VOM I would not use an 22 analog resistance meter of any kind as it could damage the chip if it s a Hall effect chip you can test whether it s a potentiometer or not If it is you should get 5K ohms across red and black and of course 0 5K from red or black to the third wire usually green or yellow If it isn t you ll get readings in the megohms in one direction and no connection in the other in some cases A better test if you have a digital VOM is to push the probes into the back of the throttle connector at the controller while it is connected Turn the scooter on and operate the throttle You should get near zero to near 4 or 5 volts between the black and third wire green or yellow These voltages work for most scooters but not all Some throttles use 0 24 volts and some use a negative voltage the throttle sinks current You should also chec

24. ly suspects can be A battery that is completely open supplying no current and possible even testing as having no voltage It can be very briefly shorted with a wire to see if an arc is produced revealing current is present See Below for more advice on batteries It is also possible to have a bad brake lever or throttle since both have wiring and switches or 24 variable controls The brake lever has a power cut off switch The throttle variably controls the speed of the scooter The scooter On Off switch can be defective Without a good switch the scooter has no power but the test of this is the power light Does the power light come on when the switch is activated to the On position Troubleshooting After Fully Charging Powers Only For Short Distance Use 1 Suspect the battery charger or the battery as the primary cause of short distance riding after a lengthy or full charge If your battery charger does not have charging indicator lights then you may not be charging the battery at all if the charger is defective 2 The battery may be self charging to only about 60 on its own If the battery is getting old then it may not be able to hold a full charge and the battery will need replacement When suspected you can very briefly arc across the battery terminals with an insulated wire to see if it produces a nice arc It is also possible to test some individual battery 12 volt cells using 12 volt motors or lights that will show
