Resolved the initial problem.
Turned out to be a battery wire that had slipped off during shipping. Connected it and the scooter worked.
Managed to get a whole 15 minutes of use out of it before it failed.
Popped it open and examined it - the electrical harness inside was fried due to cheap connectors that could not handle the current load.
Fixed that with better connections - only to find that the electronic throttle control is also fried, thus the on/off switch and throttle no longer work.
Made in China (go figure...)
After enough problems with this thing - We've finally decided we're going to take electric guts out and mount a small gas motor on the frame and use it as a gas powered scooter since the frame is decent and cool looking.
Meanwhile, gonna give the ol' TrailSport Buffalo a pull and go put-put around the block.
Happy scootin,
- Oren
