How to Detect Scooter Malfunctions
With the arrival of March, the weather gradually warms up, prompting many friends to take out their long-admired scooters for use. However, due to prolonged periods of disuse or other reasons, scooters often encounter various malfunctions. So, how do we determine which part of the scooter is experiencing a malfunction based on the symptoms? This article will introduce how to diagnose the malfunctions of the three main components of a scooter and their solutions.
What problems might occur with scooters?
- The scooter cannot start or has a short cruising range.
- The scooter motor does not turn or exhibits shaking.
- The scooter motor emits rattling noises, with significant noise levels.
Problem 1: The scooter cannot start or has a short cruising range.
Detection method: Remove the battery from the battery compartment and use an AVO meter to measure the voltage when the battery is fully charged. If the data significantly differs from the time of purchase, it indicates battery aging and necessitates replacement. Aging batteries pose safety risks. If the data difference is minimal, check whether the switch lock and battery connections are secure; reconnection may resolve the issue.
Problem 2: The scooter motor does not turn or exhibits shaking.
Detection method: These issues typically stem from controller or motor malfunctions. Simply swap the wiring of the controller and motor; if the working status of both motors remains unchanged, the motor is faulty. If the working status of the two motors is opposite, the controller is likely faulty.
Problem 3: The scooter motor emits rattling noises with significant noise levels.
Detection method: If the noise originates externally from the motor, inspect whether the brake pads and discs are loose or worn. Brake pads and discs require timely replacement. If significant internal motor noise is present, it may indicate controller or motor malfunctions. The detection method is similar to problem 2.
The above are common scooter malfunctions and their detection methods, aimed at providing assistance.
