I bought this scooter used. It ran great for 2 months. Then the batteries sterted failing. I bought new batteries which worked great for a couple weeks and now they are not charging all the way.
Did someone qualified tell you that you needed new batteries?. I would go back to the battery supplier & go from there.ALSO,if you still have the old ones can they be tested too.Ask them,i hope this helped.Colin
SOURCE: New batteries, fully charged, still wont work
I will ask but don't take offence, so many people overlook the obvious, have you checked the free wheel lever/s are not set to free wheel (if it is the scooter will be relatively easy to push forward or backward) if set to free wheel then move lever/s to drive position

this is a link for the sonic scooter user guide, not 100% sure that it is the exact one or not but it should show you were to find the free wheel lock on your scooter it is in this guide and I would be surprised if it is not the same as yours. Hope that helps. Mark.
SOURCE: scooter is dead
Are you sure your charger is working? Is the free-wheel lever engaged? Also the charger has an inhibit line, it will not run when the charger is plugged in.
SOURCE: pride victory Scooter battery charged won't run
Its probably too late to give my opinion, but here goes anyway.
I had a similar problem with my mothers scooter and it turned out to be a faulty connection on the wires leading to the motor. I simply pulled the plastic connection apart, cleaned and lubricated the contacts, refitted the connection and all was well.
SOURCE: will not charge
then I would first chec kthe connections that the battery charger connects to, check the batteries on another scooter .

It is best to let it charge at least over night, longer if it hasn't been used for a while. It is also good to give them a long workout (Don't completely flatten them though) at least occaisionally. If they get regular and thorough use they will last longer, but extra weight like shopping, or lots of steepish paths will flatten them a lot faster. They are only supposed to last a couple of years, but will go longer if you look after them.
One of the most important things is to find a supplier/repairman you can trust. These are, after all your legs or mode of transport you are talking about.
