Scooter Runs Slowly or Not at All⁚ The battery may be low; recharge it fully. Check the throttle to ensure it’s functioning correctly. Examine the drive system (chain or belt‚ depending on the model) for any obstructions or wear. If the problem remains‚ it may be a motor or electrical issue requiring professional attention.
Brakes Not Working⁚ Verify the brake cables are correctly adjusted and not frayed or damaged. If using a hand brake‚ make sure it’s properly connected and functioning.
