Any electromechanical device occasionally requires some troubleshooting. However, most of the problems that may arise can usually be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these problems occur because the batteries are not fully charged or because the batteries are worn down and can no longer hold a charge.
DIAGNOSTIC FLASH CODES
The diagnostic flash codes for your scooter are designed to help you perform basic troubleshooting quickly and easily. A diagnostic flash code will flash from the status LED in the event one of the conditions listed below develops.
NOTE: Your scooter will not run unless the flash code condition is resolved and the scooter has been turned off, then turned back on.

What if my scooter does not move when I press the throttle control lever?
νWith the key turned to the on position, check the status LED. If the LED flashes three times, pauses, then flashes two times, this is the manual freewheel lever code and means your scooter is in freewheel mode.

νPull up on the manual freewheel lever, turn the scooter off, and then turn the scooter on, to return to normal scooter operation.
