If so, this video will show you how to completely tear-down a Go Go Scooter and then you can watch the rest of the videos in this series to replace parts. In this video, you'll learn how to remove each replaceable part, and then in the future videos, you'll learn how to troubleshoot each part as we rebuild the scooter, one part at a time. This mobility scooter troubleshooting guide is great for anyone that owns a Pride Go Go Scooter because most of them are built in a very similar way. After watching this video, you will have a strong foundation of knowledge regarding how to take apart a GoGo Mobility Scooter.

In this video, we're using a Go Go Ultra X 3-Wheel which is model SC40X. This model was recently replaced by the new Ultra X which is model S39.

We will make more videos like this one, covering the breakdown of full-size, mid-size, and heavy-duty mobility scooters.

You should not attempt to work on your mobility scooter if you are not a technician. You will void your warranty if you do not use OEM parts and a technician to do repairs in most cases.

The most thorough breakdown video I've ever seen, tremendous job Sergio!! Thank you so much for your help :)

[RobertWilkinsonJKekMaloy]

Thank you. Tried to fold one down using the manual with no help. So not the right book. Found you, watched ya and now our issue has been resolved. Thank you!

[pchristopher]

Probably the best support video I have seen on any topic! Super well prepared. Looking forward to part 2 (if it is already online- please give the link). I think my model is the one you use in this video. My problem is that even with the battery charged, and everything put together, the freewheel lever is in the Drive position, when I turn on the ignition key, the gauge shows the battery is charged, then, either forward or reverse it moves about 3 inches and stops. Usually beeps 6 times. What should I be looking for? Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

[johnfirth]

Thank you for your clear instruction so far. I need to see how you remove the batteries from the holder and replace them with new ones

[shirleywhitlock]

Hello I like that every question someone has, you answer it that is great costumer service, thank u God bless u all that work to make things easier for us...

[dcurzon]

Thankyou! 
I picked up a used Elite Traveller LX (UK model, might be called something else in US, but its a 4 wheel model) for my dad, which was all working ok but a bit filthy, so I gave it a thorough washing, which led to (or highlighted) a faulty horn switch... after replacing that, I then suddenly had no diagnostic beeps, only 'clicking' which sounded like a solenoid which left me a bit baffled... but thanks to this video, I discovered there's a 2nd piezo buzzer hidden away in the chassis which seems to be the culprit and I have a replacement arriving today. Couldn't find all the screws to remove the floor pan on the Elite, but was able to remove enough to flex it and get a hand in and find the buzzer and cabling, so should be all done this afternoon so I can deliver it to dad this evening :)

If you have a tear down of the Elite Traveller, that would be awesome (or just the front section and leave the rear/motor) - thanks

[stevehensley]

Very thorough video. showed me what I needed to know.

I ended up with one of those three wheelers with a lot of miles on it.
It took a lot of amps to turn the gearbox and when I took it apart the grease had turned into dirt. I got it cleaned up and there wasn't any wear on any of the Gears. it was amazing. now it's got new grease in it and spins so good that it doesn't hardly draw any amps unless it's going up hill.

[nirvanakurt]

Thanks for your information, its really help.

Hi, I'm Brazilian and I have one of those tricycles, I live in the countryside and it's very difficult to find parts for maintenance. My tricycle ruined that connection part of the rear part, it broke. so I made a direct connection from the back, connecting the wires. then it started working again. Now I'm having trouble removing the rusty rear wheels to replace the tires.. this disabled life is very difficult. sniff. congratulacions

[annies]

An interesting video, thanks. I like to see how things remember pulling a watch apart when I was 8 years old and I put all the bits in a matchbox. My mother wasn't very happy that I'd ruined a new watch🤣🤣. I certainly have no intentions of dismantling my scooter 🤣 (it's still under warranty anyway) as I'll be sending into the shop where I purchased it here in the UK for service and any repairs that may arise. I'm actually rather disappointed in Pride customer services here in the an email asking if my scooter warranty will be affected if I put lithium batteries (first asked local mobility shop if lithium can be put in my scooter model) in my scooter instead of the lead acid, but they've not even had the courtesy to reply. That has actually put me off buying any further Pride scooters in the future.

I have a question about something not mechanical or anything. What about the clear like tape where the rear and front come together. Is there a replacement for that or is it only there to keep the paint from getting scratched and is really just a visual thing. The "tape" on mine is worn off for the most part. Will duct tape or maybe some kind of packing tape work good enough? Loved the video and helped a lot when working on a 4 wheel version. A little different as far as the front disassembly but close enough.

[citlalie]

My power connector from the back broke how do I replace it?

[dons.]

Purchased one of these 4 wheel ones with rear brake light. As we use it in the evening we. need rear lights. Presently added some battery lights, used in house cabinets, and glued them to the back. Have a remote control to change colors of light and on and off.
What I would like to a real red light connected to the circuit that turned on the front light, to permit visibility.
Any suggestions on how and where to make a connection.

[richardbarkley]

I was hoping that you would show replacing the tiller fork bearings. I believe there is an upper and a lower ball bearing ring but can't confirm because I think my lower has blown out and the small ball bearings all over the

[grahambenning]

My scooter had an erratic battery gauge and stopped after a short run it was the batteries new ones fixed the problem

[jeaninejurado]

I have a question pertaining to my Go Go Elite Traveler scooter. I noticed the tiller charging port was not charging the battery. I checked the fuse (which I would like to verify if that should be a 3 amp fuse) and it is intact. What else could be the issue? I enjoyed the video and appreciate the inner workings of the Go Go scooter series. Thank you.

[jacklee]

on our scooter the connecter on the motor to the battery have mail connecter from the motor end and female from batterie we have a broken pin on the mail connection can we get a pin to replace the broken one that is on the red wire into the motor

[normlewis]

Could someone PLEASE tell me the proper name of the little horn on the Pride Go Go?? I repaired mine once, but I do believe I need to purchase another. Thanks!

[stanleywilushewski]

I have a pride victory 9. Is there a setup to have turn signals front and rear and possibly a brake light
