Cause Analysis

Turn the motor on or off
If the motor is stuck when the power is turned off, you need to replace the motor.
Brake lever switch failure
  • When the speed control makes a clicking noise and the vehicle does not move, this could be caused by a number of different reasons and a diagnostic test will need to be performed to determine which component has failed and is causing the problem.
  • Check whether the wires connecting the motor and the controller are in poor contact, whether the wires are broken, or whether water has entered and caused a short circuit.
Throttle failure
Battery pack failure
Controller failure
Wiring or connector failure
Charging system problems

Solution

Check the motor

Check for burnt or melted wires or wire connections attached to the motor. Burnt or melted wires or wire connections indicate that the motor has overheated and may have caused the plastic insulation to melt from the motor’s electromagnet copper wire windings.

If the insulation on the copper windings melts, they will short out and cause the motor to not run or run slowly. Shorted motor windings can also burn out the speed controller because the speed controller has too much resistance, causing it to overwork and overheat.
