I cannot emphasize enough that some basic know how is required before carrying this out. This video gives a general basic overview and there's actually more things that can be done to help the motor which I will cover in a future video.
***I am NOT a motor expert and will gladly troll the commenters that fail to see me stating this very obvious sentence.
Only attempt this "repair" if you are stuck with no other option but to buy a replacement motor, because worst case this fails or you make total crap of it - you are in the same boat!

In today's video I am covering a motor repair on a customer’s scooter that had broken down recently. The mobility scooter was jerking and randomly changing speeds as it was travelling.
When I had a look at the scooter it seemed to be related to the motor and gearbox area and that then became the first area to start digging deeper into...
So I took off the cap for the motor "brushes" to see the condition of the brushes and the receiver inside the motor - basically to see if there was any damage or carbon build up.
Once I took out the brushes I seen they were practically gone and looking further into the motor I could see there was a lot of carbon build inside the area where the brushes touch the motor.
Usually most mobility repair companies like to sell customers a broken motor, however these things are around €400-€500 to buy and that's even if the manufacturer has one that will fit a 10 year old machine! Anyway, what customer is going to spend that sort of money for something of that age, they are nearly halfway to buying a new scooter then!
So today within a short period of time, this scooter destined for the dump - got a new lease of life. Hopefully it can help you out if you have a scooter with a similar issue and always feel free to ask questions in the comments before in case you have a doubt.
