I have a Go-Bowen 36V electric ATV that I just bought for my daughter for Christmas. Right out of the box it had trouble going, when you rotate the throttle sometimes it would go sometimes it wouldn't. Now all of a sudden she was riding it and it just quit. It will not go anymore not even in reverse. The lights come on on the throttle and the headlights work. I am getting 36 volts on my meter right out of the battery case, but only about 5 volts where it goes into the motor. I have checked all the connections and everything is good and tight and no breaks. I even changed the key switch, still nothing.I was thinking maybe its the transformer under the seat..maybe? Does anyone have any ideas...PLEASE!!!

 

Yes same thing with us! Bought it for my son for Christmas and its getting power but doesn't kick over. I have a 500 dollar piece of crap in my living room. It was his big Christmas gift and couldn't even ride it. My husband thinks its the control box however they cant send us one because they DONT HAVE ANY! Have to wait until they talk to China so in the mean time it sits while my sons stares at it. So upset!

 

same here ...there is power but wont go..what could be problem???

 

Have you unplugged the motor and checked at the speed controller? Also check at the throttle wires at the bars. Check it for OHMS and make sure they are increasing as you twist the throttle. The bar controller is probably a rheostat type controller with a little bar running across little wires. They tend to get a bad spot in them or get dirty causing this issue. Usually contact cleaner will clean them right up and good to go again
