I had a problem with my wheelchair after I changed the batteries and could not work out what had gone wrong. I emailed Tom, and following a telephone call with him, I could follow his instructions to resolve the issue.

He gave this guidance freely and I am indebted to him. Great service

Tom is great when i had issues with my last scooter he told me what i needed and i was able to order that parts from him. i will probably need some bearings soon he is the man who i will call.

Thank you for sharing this with us. I have the same scooter as that one, and yesterday the same thing happened to mine. ie: it seemed too loose power like the batteries were flat, then just died. So now i am 99% sure that i need new brushes in my motor. Happy days :-)

What an impressive video. I wish Tom was my next door neighbor ( only joking Tom ) Really impressed with your knowledge and simple but effective way of teaching. High praise indeed.

[BrendanODonnellDesign]

Fantastic video again Tom, thanks for taking the time and for sharing the know how. Your channel has helped me out many times! Great that the parts are available on your website too. Not many offering that kind of service these days!

Oh, thank you so much for showing this! My Drive Medical Bobcat x4 scooter has been sort of dragging lately and I was wondering if something like this was going on. We don’t have a maintenance or repair service anywhere near where I am so I’m trying to learn how to care for it using internet and YouTube videos like yours. So thanks again!

I had the same problem. I did not dismantle it. I watched you for 10 minutes. I turned it over on its side. I poked it. I looked for loose wires. No loose wires I can see. Poke poke poke. I see a switch I press the switch. I see a small black box labelled "Solax" with a rubber cap that is a little off, I put the rubber cap back on the black box where it seems to have fallen off on one side. I turn the scooter upright. No more 9 flashes. No flashes at all. One beep. Usually there are 2. Now it moves forward only clicks when I try to reverse. Rinse, repeat the above. Now it works fine. I have no idea what I did besides pray then watch you then pray thanks. So, thanks.

After I got mine working, I watched this very good video. What are the brushes called, just brushes? I live in Israel. Do I tell the tech to check the little metal parts with springs on them that come in pairs and connect to the motor under the seat or what?

Great video. A tip for any machine screw, to seat it properly before attempting to screw it in. turn it anti-clockwise slowly until you feel it click, that means the screw thread has aligned with the nut/seat thread, now turn it clockwise and it will screw in and not cross-thread.

Took my gogo travel scooter to a technician and he found that the battery was the problem after 3 years, technician took me the scooter was beeping different codes before putting on a used battery

[luckymarley]

Very nice demonstration. Love the subtitles and appreciate the accent. Well done fine workman's ship . This video was very instructive and informative. Thanks for pointing out the tools names and parts necessary to get the job done

[billpaterson]

Fab U Lous, not sure about the funny accent but being from a similar part of the world, Glasgow, I do know however this is the correct and only way to speak english. All that aside, thank you so much for the time and effort in doing the video. Living in sunny Bantry with the mad Irish wife, now using a scooter ocassionally, took it to bits to try figger what was wrong. Your video suggests the most likely cause and the other info re the brake helps big time. Many thanks again for the help, Bill P Mad Scot

[CRANWELLPOACHER]

This is the model.i am Avington issues with....although the control box is situated on top. I have noticed that the lever to select free wheel or drive is incorporated into the electronic brake....but scooter seems to be in free wheel whatever position the lever is in

[catwilliams]

Fellow scot over in Oz with a mobility puzzle. Great video that has already helped. My issue? 3 month old batteries. Batteries good. Battery charger working. Tyres at right pressure. Can charge it up to green. But for the last couple of weeks, only getting short distance at full speed before it flashes, quickly drops to the red zone, and will only crawl along. But when I stop, the battery is still showing green.. Now thinking brushes. It's a Medicare Evolution and cannot find them anywhere on the web. Think they might relate to shoprider?

[smartdeniro]

Thanks lots dear Nithsdale for your valuable information

[jnicoll]

super plain spoken can understand him and videos perfect fantastic help he'll go far

[michaeldominy]

Hello, very interesting tuition from you, and a good video. I don’t know if you an help but I have a lynx scooter, but when it’s being used there is a click from the rear, not sure if it’s from the axle or not.. would you have any ideas plz.🤔

[my_dear_friend_]

At 8:40, how did you get the motor to spin but the scooter to not move? What did you disconnect so it can do that? Great video, learning a lot!
