My mobility scooter is making a weird noise when i drive it and its onlywo months old

SOURCE: THE SCOOTER MAKES A HIGH PITCH NOISE WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED ON

The buzzer is a piezo-electric device that is the "horn" for the scooter. It also will alert when the scooter is in reverse, if this option is programmed into the scooter. It receives its power from the PC board or console board which is located inside the top of the shroud at the tiller, where the thumb paddles that direct the scooter are located. If liquids have reached the board, or if condensation has affected the board, the circuit that controls the buzzer may have shorted causing it to come on constantly.

Opening the top of the shroud is fairly simple. Remove about 6 screws holding the clamshell cover together, remove the speed adjust knob, and it should come apart. Inside you'll see a PC (printed circuit) board, green in color with lots of small electronic parts embedded on it. The buzzer is also inside, usually about the size of a marshmallow and black in color with tiny holes to let the noise escape. There will be two wires leading from the buzzer to the plug-in at the PC board. Unplug the buzzer and the noise will stop, but you won't have use of the "horn" at all. Replacing the PC board can be done by a certified Pride tech, but it will probably cost you about $150.00 for parts and labor.

Hope this helps.

Hi...

First off..Check the wheels to make sure nothing is jammed between them and the body.

I had one like that where a hat was stuck in the wheel well

Also , make sure the drive lever is all the way in

SOURCE: grinding noise from rear wheel of carvan while driving

Was the parking brake on? Sitting that long it may be hanging
up a little. The cable may have a little rust on it and it's not releasing
all the way. If thats the case you may be able to feel the back
wheels after driving a little and they will feel hot or you may even
smell the brake shoes wearing.
