Rascal disabled buggy - Pete
Is there anyone out there with servicing experience on these USA supplied buggies please ?

Elderly lady has had one of these four wheel electric buggies for 9 years with no problems except for one puncture and a new pair of batteries about 6 months ago. Machine has a pivoted lever on the handlebar for stop/go, fwd/rev and a dial from 0 to 10 to set speed.

Recently, releasing the handlebar lever to slow to a stop, has been replaced by releasing the lever resulting in violent deceleration. Is there a component in the drive system (possibly electrical) which would cause this if it had failed ?

Any input on this would be much appreciated.
Thank you, Pete. petel@clara.co.uk
