man o man. okay, at this point, i guess i'm going to see if i can find some local help, before i do more damage. thanks again for your input!

on the BS (the og one), i turned on the tester and went to the circuit board w/ my multimeter. put red on the lil 5V blob of solder as seen in the pic below, then the black on HA (nothing), HB (3.18) and HC (4.99). i'd assume HA is the yellow hall wire. from this, can we conclude that the...

not that i know of. just went and did tested again, making sure nothing touched = same result. or are you saying that if i did touch em, that might explain why the motor no longer works? if so, yes, sadly, that's possible.

in both cases, i am spinning the wheel backwards to test. in both cases, the phase lights do not move in sequence but rather light up all at once. the hall lights are as i've said. with movement: 1/ bad scooter (BS): blue and green alternate, while yellow just stays lit. 2/ new bad scooter...

okay, thanks. which of those is the easiest to check (and least likely for me to make things worse)? meanwhile, if you've got a moment, here are two pix of tester hooked up to the formerly good bike. don't know what i did but i surely did something. fast spin gets all three appropriate...

i'm sure you're right, but introduce the potential for operator error and, in my case, anything is likely. meanwhile, leaving the formerly good scooter aside for the moment, the o.g. bad one does as you see on the video: https://youtu.be/b7z-e5Us7HY for testing, the scooter is...

bought one of those cheapo testers and within minutes managed to fry the motor on the good bike. i'm going to take a nap now. damn it.

well, all i've managed to do so far is strip the head of *only* one screw while taking the top plate off the motor. the interior looks pretty clean, though the big wire looks a little wonky right down at the base. the pix kinda show that. now ... what would my next step be? vfr400 wrote...

thank you both and i'll dig into this as time permits. firstly, i'll have to track down from how-to vids on youtube to help me through the process. i do have a meter but haven't used it for anything but checking AA battery strength and the like. even testing continuity will be new, so i'll...

see pix. the connectors all seem good, in the pic above, everything on the working bike is hooked up to the bad one and i get the stutter, then nothing. if the issue was soley with the controller on the not-working craft, then the way you see it connected now should produce the desired...

This is on an electric scooter. Used to run just fine, then became increasingly problematic, and now it'll stutter for a second when the throttle is turned, then nothing, and pretty much all nothing after that. i have the same set up on a different scooter and it works fine. i've connected...
