Bought new, my scooter was about $2,000.00

I've changed batteries 3 times. The ones I have now are a year and a half old. Not gel cell, but sealed.

A few days ago, my friend took both batteries and checked them about every way it is possible to check 'em. Slow, trickle recharge etc. etc.

They seem fine. Today we cleaned every connection, put the batteries back in place, and tonight I tried the scooter out. I wanted to stay close to home in case the batteries discharged. I went twice around the block with no trouble! THEN it just QUIT!! Spent an hour pushing it and resting and pushing it again to go the quarter of a block back to our place. ----- I'm exhausted!

But I'm leaning toward thinking it's the main brain board!!!

There's no repair person near here at all. (My friend is just winging it.)----So we will see what we will see!?!?

John, thanks for thinking seriously about this. I do appreciate it.

I used to go twenty-five miles before recharging --- up the Illinois-Michigan Canal tow path and all over. The bit of freedom it provided was very nice to have when this scooter was reliable. As I said, now I just don't trust it.
