Once it has been determined that the battery or battery pack needs to be recharged, plug the battery charger into the vehicle’s charger port, and then plug the battery charger into the wall. The multimeter should be set to a DC Voltage range that allows reading the tenths or hundreds of a Volt of the battery or battery pack. If the battery or battery pack’s Voltage slowly climbs to a higher number then that indicates that the battery charger is recharging the battery or battery pack. Next test the Voltage of the battery pack with a digital multimeter to see if its Voltage is slowly climbing. Continue to charge the battery or battery pack until the light on the charger indicates that it is fully charged, then test the battery or battery pack Voltage to see if it is at a 100% state of charge as specified in our Battery State of Charge Chart.
Using inspection and the process of elimination is the best way to determine if a speed controller is working or not. Motors with overheated coils should always be replaced to prevent damage to the speed controller. If the insulation melts off the copper windings they will short circuit and cause the motor to not run or to run slowly. Smell the motor for any burned plastic smells. Look for any burned or melted wires or wire connectors attached to the motor. If all of the other components of the electrical system test good but the scooter does not operate that indicates a defective speed controller. Short circuited motor windings can also burn-out the speed controller by giving it too much resistance which makes it work too hard and overheat. If the motor smells burned that indicates that its coils have been overheated. Burned or melted wires or wire connectors indicate overheating of the motor which may cause the plastic insulation to melt off the motors electromagnetic copper wire windings.
Try charging the battery pack for 8 hours and then see if that helps. Get your nose close to the speed controller and motor and smell them. Checking the continuity of the fuse or circuit breaker with a multimeter is the best way to determine if they are working or not. Remove the footplate or wiring cover and look for any burned or melted wires, wire connectors, or electrical components. Also look for loose, disconnected, or damaged wires or wire connectors. Any components that look burned or melted, or that smell like burned plastic are almost always defective and should be replaced. Motors that smell burned should be replaced to prevent damage to the speed controller. Pull and push on all of the individual wires and wire connectors to make sure they are not loose or disconnected. Sometimes fuses burn-out in a place where you can’t see it, and sometimes circuit breakers will mechanically reset but they are worn-out and still will not work.
If the charger is not charging the battery or battery pack up to a 100% state of charge then the charger is faulty. Visit our Battery Pack Load Testing Guide. If the scooter is not running, a load test can be performed on its batteries by removing the battery pack from the scooter and taking the individual batteries out. If you have a multimeter the battery packs Voltage can be tested to determine its condition. A good battery packs Voltage will be above its rated Voltage level even if it has been fully discharged and allows to sit a few minutes, or if it has been in storage. If a battery packs Voltage does not bounce back to above its rated Voltage level within a few minutes after being discharged that points towards a defective or worn-out battery pack. The individual batteries can then be tested with a automotive battery load tester.
The switch should snap into both positions. Not all battery chargers have an indicator light that will illuminate when the charger is only plugged into the vehicle, so if the light does not illuminate then a secondary Voltage test with a multimeter should be performed as described below. Testing the continuity of the key switch or power switch with a multimeter is the best way to determine if it is working or not. If the switch feels loose, or if it does not have a positive snap-action feel to it when switched between the on and off position then it may be defective. Sometimes the key switch or power switch will feel good and have a positive snap-action feel to it when switched between the on and off positions but it will still be defective. Plug the battery charger into the battery charger port on the vehicle and look for an illuminated indicator light on the battery charger. If the battery charger is plugged into the wall, unplug it. If an indicator light on the battery charger illuminates then the wiring and wiring connectors going to the charger port are good and the charger port itself is good.
When a battery pack has been fully charged and its Voltage is below its rated Voltage level that also points towards a defective or worn-out battery pack. Look for any burned or melted wires or wire connectors on the speed controller. If the speed controller smells burned then it is almost always defective. If any wires are burned or melted then the speed controller may be defective. Visit our Throttle Testing Guide page. Good scooter battery packs will bounce back to above their rated Voltage level within a few minutes after the scooter has been driven. Speed controllers are too complex to easily test. Smell the speed controller for any burned plastic smells. If the speed controller has no burned or melted wires and it does not smell burnt then it still could be defective. Test all of the other components of the electrical system around the speed controller and use the process of elimination to detect if the speed controller is working or not.
The brake lever switch informs the speed controller to turn the motor off when the brakes are applied. If the scooter run when the brake lever switch is disconnected from the speed controller then the brake lever switch is a normally open type which is faulty. Test the key switch or power switch for proper mechanical operation by moving it from the off position to the on position several times. Most scooters have normally open brake switches, however, some scooters have normally closed brake switches. 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. To test for a faulty normally open brake switch, disconnect the brake lever wire connector from the speed controller and then see if the scooter runs. To test for a faulty normally closed brake lever switch, disconnect the brake lever wire connector from the speed controller and bridge the two terminals together in the controller’s connector that the brake switch is unplugged from.
If you have a multimeter the battery charger port’s Voltage can be tested. The Voltage level present at the charging port should be the same as at the battery pack. We have a Battery State of Charge Chart to help with determining if the battery or battery pack needs to be recharged. To test the battery charger to confirm that it is recharging the battery or battery pack, first test the Voltage of the battery or battery pack to confirm that it is below a 100% state of charge and that it needs to be recharged. If the charger port has male terminals then great care needs to be taken to avoid short circuiting the terminals to each other or to the charger port’s housing if it is metal. After testing the charger port and confirming that it has Voltage then the battery charger can be tested. If the charger port has no Voltage then that issue will need to be fixed before testing the battery charger.
Determine that the key switch or power switch is in the on position. Once the scooter reaches walking speed and the throttle is engaged the scooter should run until the throttle is released or the brake is used. For scooters that use a circuit breaker, push-on or flip the circuit breaker to see if it will reset. Stand on the scooter with one foot and push it forward with your other foot while fully engaging the throttle. Electric scooters that have not been charged for over 3 months will have partially discharged battery packs which may not provide enough power to run the scooter. The fuse may need to be removed from the scooter and held up to a source of light to determine if it is burned-out or not. 20kw Electric scooters with single speed throttles sometimes need to be pushed forward in order to run. If the scooters uses a fuse, look at the inside of the fuse to see if it is burned-out.

Several factors such as weight limit, output, maximum speed, maximum range, and design are primary considerations from the manufacturer. All scooters can carry an adult weight, even though some are more durable than others. Keep in mind that the battery capacity is directly proportional to the maximum range. The battery capacity can also be subject to riding style, terrain, and the rider’s weight. The weight limit depends on the sturdiness of the frame. Battery capacity relies on the maximum range that is always between 40 minutes to hours. But if you need one for fun, then a cheaper one would do. If you plan to use it for going to school or work, then go for a model with a higher battery capacity and thus excellent output. You should first focus on your intended use and how often you will want to use the scooter. A folding frame allows for easy carrying of the scooter.
