I'm not a Bruno dealer or seen any of their lifts, so I have no idea how good their weather proofing is.

Twice a year we get wiped out by the APA (American Pool Players Assocation) A bit expensive the last time as we put all new batteries in the scooters. At least we know there wouldn't be any problems. Jenny says Hi

Yes the FAA set the guidelines for the size of Lithium batteries for scooters like you said. I'm not sure how they deal with if you want to take an extra battery with you though. I've never had any problems with Handy or Smart Scoot, very helpful.

It's always good fun to dig out a bunch of parts and bring a scooter back to life.

@@lasvegasscooterslifts I agree. I've got SEVERAL older Pride units in my shop that I keep bypassing. With things as slow as they are for me here in Florida I'm going to dig them out and "Build" them now. Like I say IMHO the older equipment is better quality than the brand new stuff.

Hi and welcome. I think it was a cost, availability and may be even weight and space saving thing to be honest. To have an onboard charger meant that it could be susceptible to damage and moisture, and you were stuck to having to replace it with the manufactures OEM part. With off board chargers you could buy aftermarket chargers more readily and pretty cheap.

@@lasvegasscooterslifts Thank you for your feedback. I always learn something new when I watch your videos. Thank you, guys, and I wish yall the best!

Thanks for watching Blue.

It could be a number of things. Did you want to bring it in so I can check it out?

Very strange you are getting switching brake errors from left to right. My first thought would be controller issue. I have known in the past of the motor loosing contact at the motor but as for the brakes it might be a wiring or micro switch issue if there is any corrosion from moisture. Check the brake wiring for loose connections and move the wires to see if you can bring about the errors.

As long as the scooter is meant for 36v then yes. As long as the batteries are of the same type and AH rating wired in series then yes it technically can be done. GEL and SLA or Lithium mix is never a good idea. As for reliability, it's not the best idea to used mixed or new and old but for testing purposes then yes, you're ok, but for best results would be to buy new matched batteries and then balance them out before adding them to the scooter.

It would probably be cheaper to buy a plane ticket and pick one up than try to ship it and pay customs etc.

Let me know how it turns out.

Not that I know of, I know golden do not sell any internals just the whole thing.

We're in Las Vegas NV

Not that I'm aware of or a dealer of.

Jenny replied to your email.

Yeah I don't bother trying to repair the race bearings and just change out the housing or the whole piece at the end of the shaft if they go bad. The only bearings in the wheels are on the front not the rear. I do know the old chrome style wheels covers made an awful noise at times and that sounded like a bad bearing sound. I surprised that Golden said that the GC340 is no longer supported (parts wise) I'll have to check to see if there are any parts still available the next time, we call them. As for MSP, the $131 price sounds like it's for one wheel. Thanks for watching.

@@lasvegasscooterslifts Thank you. Yeh...Golden Tech referred me to Monster Scooter Parts for wheels. SO glad I didn't buy them!

@@lasvegasscooterslifts I'm curious what the difference is between the VA models and the others. Refurbished returns? (Mine is blue painted over red.)

I doubt it could be the brake but without hearing and looking at it I would say it could be the transaxle. If the noise comes and goes, if it's a bearing or a gear braking loose the noise should be more evident when turning or leaning in one direction that stresses the bearing or gear.

@@lasvegasscooterslifts A repair guy said it was drivewheel bearings, but (asked elsewhere) there aren't any bearings in the drivewheels, are there???

@@lasvegasscooterslifts Thank you. Wishing you the best of the best in the new year!

Same to you my friend.

Not In the rear wheels, no.

Just got to remember which way round it goes back in.

@@lasvegasscooterslifts I usually take pictures before disassembling anything. : )

Hi, the wheels themselves do not have any bearings in them but the transaxle does.

@lasvegasscooterslifts #$@?!@! I THOUGHT SO! The local guy (in Honolulu) who does repairs on VA scooters from Golden Tech said the noise was from wheel bearings and replaced all three wheels last year! The noise did go away for a while, but it's intermittently back. Golden Tech said my scooter (the pre 2024 model) is no longer repairable. Such BS. I took the wheels off, thinking I would find bearings, but of course I only found an axle with a key. I cleaned them up and greased them a little just to keep future repairs easy. Thanks again for your replies. I REALLY appreciate you!

Thanks, yes, the Legend and Legend XL are long gone for new replacement parts. The only parts you can get are going to be second hand or may be something that might be compatible from another scooter.

Thanks Blue

Thank you Jamie, Pride do make a rear-view mirror for straight handlebars Part Number ACC134496 but you have to chop off the end of the handlebar grip to attach it. You can get a single rear basket Part Number ACCBSKT1010 that fits in the accessory tube at the back of the seat. Here is a link to the product if you need more details. lasvegasscootersandlifts.com/store/index.php/product/pride-go-go-ultra-x-4-wheel/ Thanks for watching

Thanks SC

👍

No, the sport/traveller plus motor is bigger.

Thank you

LOL I hope not. I think it's an ambulance chancing lawyer thing, manufactures have to cover all their bases.

I would test the new brake and make sure it reads 49-54 ohm in the locked drive position if not the brake is faulty. Use the top two pins of the front to rear connector on the rear section to do the test. Also, it could be a damaged microswitch, check for continuity on the two wires going to the microswitch in the drive and freewheel position it should be OL in one position and connected circuit in the other position. Also check continuity from the microswitch to the rear pins. If everything reads ok, then you might have a wiring issue to the controller on the front section connectors to the controller or a controller issue.

Merry Christmas and thanks for watching.

Thanks Blue, have a great Christmas and New Year

Merry Christmas Darren, I haven't worked on one and they look very similar to the Pride Persuit over here. I'm sure I could figure them out easily enough.

Happ New Year to you both

You should remove the center nut, and the wheel should slide straight off. If it is stuck on there, tip the scooter on its side and try putting a small amount of penetrating spray where the nut was and the axle shaft. Loosely replace the nut and get someone to pull up on the wheel while tapping the nut to see if that can break it free. Be careful not to damage the threads on the axle shaft by hitting the nut to hard.

No, sorry they are programmed at 100% speed of 4mph

@lasvegasscooterslifts thank you for your reply

On a Pride/go-go scooters a six-beep error code is the throttle not in center position when turning on the scooter. This normally occurs when you operate the throttle before turning the key on or a sudden drop in voltage and the system resets and you are still holding the throttle can bring on a six-beep code. Other scooter error codes could be something different

See your other comment for the reply.

Sound like electronic brake failing to me that's attached to the motor. that would be the first place I would look. If the brake isn't automatically disengaging and is staying locked on the power will be reduced and the motor will be getting hot from resistance from the brake. Try putting your hand on the brake lever located on the motor and see if you can feel a distinct click and movement in the brake handle. If it was a wiring issue the system should report a brake error. If not, it might be the hub brakes looked on.

Hi mate thanks for getting back to me 😊,, I can eliminate the second brake you activate with your hand on the handle bar's, I took so that of me tested it ,, ND I've tested the electronic brake also that is working fine , the potentiometer is all in correct order, I've gone over almost all the wiring to and all appears to be connected nicely ND clean ,, The batterys are good to I've not been able to check the control box as I'm not up to skill on that yet and I've not checked the motor properly either, the brushs I need to check . Am I correct that the motor slows the scooter and the electric brake turns on once stopped ND hold the scooter still like a handbrake,, Ty again for responding as is been doing my head in last couple of days lol

Yes normally the motor will reduce the speed slightly and then the EMB will lock the motor to stop the scooter. Even though the brake might be working ok and not giving any errors, if its worn and loose it can stop the brake from releasing correctly giving you the problems you are saying. Also wiring could still be a candidate, even if you test each wire for continuity and they are ok I would move the harness while testing to make sure there is no wear or broken wires or bad connections in any of plugs and harness.

There are a few benefits with brushless motors where it comes to size, and speed. There is great explanation on Wikipedia regarding the differences between brushed and brushless motors. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brushless_DC_electric_motor

Thanks 👍

Thanks Blue

If you are asking about a washer for the transaxle, try hunting around your local hardware store see if they have anything or try an auto parts oil drain plug washer see if they have anything that fits.

Thanks, you too!

Hi Keith, even 270cca seems high to what I see when I'm testing 18AH batteries (170- 185CCA) I wonder if the Yuasa are not deep cycle and are starter batteries that's why they have a higher CCA. Keep posting your results with the BT200 it's good to compare.

No, the only way you could make it go faster is change out the controller, wiring and top console and wider rear transaxle from a victory 10 sport which goes 8mph. I would just buy a victory LX sport or something like that if I needed faster speeds.

Maximum incline is 6° (10.5%) and we don't recommend grass sand or mud paths for any mobility scooters. Anything other than a smooth surface or well compacted gravel paths. This style of scooters is a mobility device to aid with walking. For other situations we recommend a larger recreational scooter with a higher ground clearance and more robust drive system to cope with different styles of terrain.

Yeah, I saw that too and I tried it and is way off, for e.g. 12ah x 7.2 - 86.4 CCA and most new 12ah batteries I've tested read about 165CCA. So far I'm getting good results with the follow 12ah 165CCA 18ah 180CCA 35AH 210 - 230 CCA 40AH 235 -240 CCA 55AH I'm still testing
