How to deal with the problem that electric scooter do not move?
If your scooter can not move, this could be simple or something that needs more attention.
Make sure the power switch is on and that it works properly. I.e it is not loose or feels it is not connecting properly.
If the battery is charged and operates as it should, then a fuse is probably the culprit. It might have flipped or it has blown. Check to see if it has flipped. If so, switch back to the "on" position. If it is blown, you need to replace it.
Is it a "kick to start to start" scooter? Some scooters need to be pushed before the throttle engages.
Check the battery and recharge it if needed. If possible, see if the battery pack works on another electric scooter.
The brake lever switch is another possibility. Most electric scooters have normally open brake switches but some have normally closed brake switches. The brake switches inform the speed controller to turn the motor off when the brakes are applied.
To test for a faulty normally open brake switch, you have to disconnect the brake lever wire connector from the speed controller and then see if the scooter runs. If it does, it is a normally open type that is faulty.
Testing for a faulty normally closed brake lever switch, you must disconnect the brake lever wire connector from the speed controller, bridge the two terminals together in the controller's connector that the brake switch is unplugged from. If the scooter runs when the controller's brake switch connector terminals are bridged together, then the brake switch is a normally closed type which is faulty.
Check the battery charger port for damages, as well as the battery charger.
Check the speed controller for any burned or melted wires. If any wires are burned or melted then the speed controller may be defective.
The motor might have overheated. Melted or burned wires and connectors indicate overheating which might cause damage to the motors copper wire windings.
Look for any burned or melted wires or wire connectors attached to the motor. Burned or melted wires or wire connectors indicate overheating of the motor which may cause the plastic insulation to melt off the motor's copper wire windings.
