Use this article if your scooter:

  • Does not cut motor power when braking

  • Keeps accelerating when braking

  • Powers on but the motors do not turn

  • Has the rear motor working but the front motor not working

  • Has one motor not turning and has resistance

  • Has reduced range or the battery drains quickly

Before You Start

Please prepare:

  • Your order number

  • A photo or video of the issue

  • A photo of the display

  • Any error code shown on the display

  • Whether the scooter powers on

  • Whether the battery charges

  • Whether the front motor engages

  • Whether the rear motor engages

  • Whether the issue happened after riding, charging, storage, transport, crash, impact, rain, water exposure, modification, display replacement, added electronics, or third-party repair

  • Photos of visible damage, if any

Safety reminders:

  • Do not continue riding if the scooter does not cut motor power when braking.

  • Do not continue riding if the scooter keeps accelerating while braking.

  • Do not ride with motor resistance, visible wiring damage, smoke, burning smell, or water exposure.

  • Do not work on wiring while the scooter is powered on or charging.

  • Do not open sealed battery components.

  • Do not force connectors together.

  • Stop and contact support if unsure.

Brake Lever Does Not Cut Motor Power

This means the scooter may not be detecting the brake lever correctly.

Possible causes:

  • Brake lever issue

  • Loose wiring

  • Multifunction switch main cable issue

  • Display main cable issue

Step 1 – Lift the scooter safely

Lift the scooter so both wheels are off the ground.

Turn the display on.

Press and hold the left brake lever.

Check whether an exclamation mark ! appears on the display.

If yes

The left brake signal is being detected.

Continue to Step 2.

If no

The left brake signal may not be reaching the scooter.

This next step requires further inspection. Please contact support with a video showing the left brake lever being pressed and the display not showing the brake symbol.

Step 2 – Test the right brake lever

Keep the scooter lifted with both wheels off the ground.

Press and hold the right brake lever.

Check whether an exclamation mark ! appears on the display.

If yes

The right brake signal is being detected.

If the scooter still does not cut motor power when braking, contact support with a video of the issue.

If no

The right brake signal may not be reaching the scooter.

This next step requires further inspection. Please contact support with a video showing the right brake lever being pressed and the display not showing the brake symbol.

Scooter Keeps Accelerating When Braking

This is a serious drive system fault. Do not continue riding.

Possible causes:

  • Wiring connection issue

  • Controller issue

Step 1 – Lift the scooter safely

Lift the scooter so both wheels are off the ground.

Turn the display on.

Carefully apply throttle, then press either brake lever.

If the rear motor has electronic braking but the front motor keeps accelerating

Do not ride the scooter.

This next step requires further inspection of the front drive wiring and B controller. Please contact support with a video of the test.

If the front motor has electronic braking but the rear motor keeps accelerating

Do not ride the scooter.

This next step requires further inspection of the rear drive wiring and A controller. Please contact support with a video of the test.

One Motor Does Not Turn and Has Resistance

This means one motor is not spinning normally and has resistance when turned by hand.

Possible causes:

  • Motor issue

  • Controller issue

  • Internal phase wire issue

Step 1 – Stop riding

Turn the scooter off.

Do not ride the scooter with motor resistance.

Step 2 – Check which motor has resistance

Carefully rotate the front and rear wheels by hand.

If the rear motor turns normally but the front motor does not turn and has resistance

This next step requires further inspection of the front motor and B controller. Please contact support with a video showing the front wheel resistance.

If the front motor turns normally but the rear motor does not turn and has resistance

This next step requires further inspection of the rear motor and A controller. Please contact support with a video showing the rear wheel resistance.

Scooter Powers On, But Front and Rear Motors Do Not Turn

This means the display powers on, but the scooter does not drive when the throttle is pressed.

Possible causes:

  • Fault code on the display

  • Loose connector

  • Bent waterproof connector pins

  • Display issue

  • Throttle signal issue

  • Main cable issue

  • A controller issue

Step 1 – Check for an error code

Turn the scooter on and check the display.

If an error code is showing

Troubleshoot the error code first.

If no error code is showing

Continue to Step 2.

Step 2 – Check visible connectors

Turn the scooter off.

Check any safely visible waterproof connectors for:

  • Loose plugs

  • Bent copper pins

  • Dirt or corrosion

  • Visible damage

If a connector is loose

Reconnect it carefully without forcing it, then test again.

If a connector is damaged or pins are bent

Do not force it together. Contact support with clear photos.

If the connectors look normal and the issue remains

This next step requires further inspection of the display, throttle signal, main cable, and A controller. Please contact support with the photos/videos listed below.

Rear Wheel Turns But Front Wheel Does Not Turn

This means the rear motor works, but the front motor does not drive.

Possible causes:

  • Front motor resistance

  • Single/dual drive switch wiring issue

  • B controller issue

  • Front motor issue

Step 1 – Check for front motor resistance

Turn the scooter off.

Rotate the front wheel by hand.

If the front wheel has resistance

Do not ride the scooter.

Go to One Motor Does Not Turn and Has Resistance.

If the front wheel does not have resistance

Continue to Step 2.

Step 2 – Check whether the front motor still does not engage

Turn the scooter on.

With the scooter safely lifted, apply throttle carefully and check whether the front motor turns.

If the front motor starts working

Monitor the scooter.

If the rear motor turns but the front motor still does not turn

This next step requires further inspection of the single/dual drive switch wiring, B controller, and front motor. Please contact support with a video showing the rear wheel turning and the front wheel not turning.

Battery Drains Quickly or Range Is Very Low

This means the battery may show full charge quickly, then lose charge after a short ride.

Possible causes:

  • Charger issue

  • Battery issue

Step 1 – Check charger behaviour

Charge the scooter and note the charger light behaviour.

If the charger light does not behave normally

Contact support with a video of the charger light.

If the charger appears normal but the battery charges quickly and runs flat after a short distance

The battery may require further inspection. Contact support with the photos/videos listed below.
