Got a S Drive given you 8 flashes ? motor brushes are good , bad news controller fault ? not always... the brake function is related to the motor output so a bad brake resistance etc can cause a 8 flasher when it should be 5 flashes, very annoying I admit .

if you have the 8 flash code, a 6 flash code on some controllers , check the disconnected brake resistance( 25 upto 80 ohms) ,, check the actual connection on the controller , is the pin looking a dark colour compared to the other pins ? you got a corroded pin if it is and a possible cause of the fault(s) you're experiencing ..

Now here's a beauty, got a controller no fault codes but wont drive ... everything checks out , brake resistance, motor resistance, battery voltage stable .. see if you can turn the throttle lever a few degrees to the left , keep it there in that position now turn the scooter off , back on, no error codes , see if it works

do the same to the right ... Im seeing a number of controllers as they age produce this problem...

Got a 7 flash code ? changed the controllers ? changed the throttle pot ?

ah so strange because the original throttle pot works on other scooters no problem .

why ? it boils down to the controller tolerance for example say the original pot measures 5.35K , 5K pot , should be okay ? not necessary because some controllers insist on a throttle pot no more than 5.25K any more its a flash 7 code ...

For some controllers this tolerance can be setup in the factory etc but not every brand of controller allows this ...

Great news, I can now acquire over 90% of all chinese components , it started by repairing a couple of eBikes for a Chinese couple thus making friends before they returned back home and kept their promise of sourcing a great many components that have caused me problems over the years ..I just received my first batch.. best news in years.

SupaScooter, first one ever repaired , controller and throttle, I found the freewheel idea different where you have to move the centre k**b, twist and push action..

Biggest problem with them is the failure of the grey marked connector where the batteries connect, no voltage and all you get is a red light ..

Give me a scout if you have such a problem, it's not expensive to repair ...

Have you got a little scooter ? they getting lighter and lighter however the controllers still go wrong ..

There are now mainly 3 brands of mobility scooter controller for the Prides , Drive , Rehab etc... S-Drive 45amp to the mighty 90amp .., Chrome looking unit, older ones tend to be black, the Curtis 1212 a black unit with a plastic cover , Dynamic R-series controller the DR50 - DR90, again black plastic cover so how can you tell whats fitted if there is a problem ? well the Curtis controller has a two type flash code ... the most common one is the fault, 2 flash followed 3 flash then a pause and repeat.. its repairable and can be fixed cheaply..

Dynamic R series tend to blow output side , motor drive ending in a 9 flash code .. S drives again, 9 flash code, the motor drive controller components are precision fitted so can prove a problem if they blow... again all types of issues with them..from inhibit ( charger connected but it isn't ) problems to failed mosfets used for the output .. so what do I rate as the strongest controller ? the Curtis 1212 when they go wrong they are very fixable .. the others can prove to be a problem if for example motor controller components blow ..

Have you got one of those Micon powered(controller) lightweight wheelchairs with the small joystick.. Like the Drive Airfold... now if you're getting the 7 flash code , its the joystick , a component that costs £10 .. the component is obsolete but still possible to acquire from abroad ... You could replace the whole thing for less than £200 if you can get hold of one ...
