There are a few easy steps you can follow to replace it.

If your scooter commonly loses power while riding—particularly on bumpy terrain—then you may have a connection issue. The wires connected to the batteries may be corroded or loose. If that is the case, try cleaning and reconnecting the battery wires. Faulty Motor If your battery still isn’t charging, try plugging it into a different scooter, or using an external battery charger. Scooters often shut off if they are overloaded or stressed.

Your speed control can also break down and cause a problem for you. To find the issue and solve it you need to do the following: If your scooter randomly turns off, you may notice that the gauge of the battery has suddenly dropped to zero. There are two reasons why this might happen: either your battery is dead and needs recharging, or your scooter has an electrical problem. It has an internal rechargeable lithium battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh. Charge it with the included charger for 3 hours to travel to a maximum range of 8.6 miles!

This has 3 speed modes, letting you build confidence at your own pace. And, you can monitor your speed and battery charge level using the LCD indicator which is positioned in the centre of the handlebars. Stay easily connected with your journey statistics by using a built in LED display so you can easily see the speed, speed mode and battery level.The voltmeter will read anything between 0 to 3+ volts. If you see the number is lower than this, there is a problem with the throttle.

If the battery is fully depleted, it may take a lot longer to charge than you’re used to. Be sure to give it time and let it charge completely. Interestingly, when the scooter’s battery is low, it will switch on, but the motor will not run. On the other hand, when the battery is empty, it won’t even switch on. So, if you’re not getting any power at all, most likely the battery is empty. The solution to that problem is to recharge it. It is as simple as that. You’ve tested the battery, and it works fine. You’ve also ensured that it is fully charged. But your scooter still won’t move. It will turn on, but when you try the throttle, it just sits there.This can happen if your battery is getting old, or if you haven’t used your scooter in a while. If your scooter slows and stops every 10 or 20 minutes, then it’s probably time to replace your battery. Here’s a tip on charging your scooter: charge it as often as possible. For the sake of your batteries, you don’t want your batteries to get too close to empty. Try to keep them “topped up” and in the green as much as possible. Feel free to charge them overnight, it won’t do them any harm. If this is your experience, then your electric scooter throttle is likely not working. You’ll need to test it to know if your throttle needs replacing or not. Last but not least, if all else fails, take it to a mechanic. You can either find an independent electric scooter mechanic in your area, or take it to a shop that specializes in gas-powered scooters. Many mechanics are comfortable working on both gas and electric scooters, but if they’re not, they can at least point you in the right direction.
