    The product, in the report: Pride Mobility Scooter Md PMV5000

    I own a Pride Mobility Scooter that I use as transportation around where I live as my legs and back do not allow me to walk very far. I was riding up a hill when the scooter slowed and began rolling backwards down the hill. None of the controls, forward or backwards, operated. The scooter is designed to use the motor as the breaking action to stop. By the time I figured the scooter had a failure, I was going pretty fast backwards down a hill which was a block long. I had to stop the scooter somehow before the speed was even more dangerous so I purposely turned the scooter over causing some great discomfort to me. There is no mechanical backup for breaking action on these scooters and I strongly suspect that none of the handicap, four wheel scooters do either. They all use the motor as a generator to stop the device. However, if there is any disconnect between the motor and the battery, THERE IS NO BREAKING. In my case, the connect between the battery and the motor controller failed and that negated any breaking action. I am a retired electrical engineer so I was able to diagnose the problem and fix it. A neighbor lady has a scooter just like mine as has advanced MS and if this had happened to her, she would have been in grave danger. MY operating manual does not mention any thing about this problem. Even on level ground, having no stoping action is dangerous. How many other scooters have this problem? Shouldn’t there be warnings about this??

    I think all such devices should be checked for failures that negate breaking and either provide mechanical breaking or warnings about operating on inclines. How would a paraplegic stop such a scooter??
