My fiancee had a older Jazzy wheelchair donated to her by a very nice man after her accident and it worked great. Now all of a sudden it gets power surges(it will go like normal than all of a sudden slow down to a very slow crawl almost stopped than it will take off and repeat over and over) we dont have insurance on the chair is there a way you can help us by telling us the problem and a possible solution. The cheapest would be great. Thank you very much this chair being down is taking freedom from her and thats not cool

Maybe the motor brushes, there are two small black plastic screws on each motor, just undo the screws and in side you will find a spring attached to the motor brush, take it out take exact size of existing brush and look for a match on ebay prob about 3 pounds a pair i would recommend doing both brushes on both motors at the same time, once you fit the new ones you may need to turn the wheels by hand if they do not start properly, and it may be a bit juddery for a very short time if there were and particles left on the motor just to clean them off.that should solve your prob, if not then check the wiring and connector are not damaged and making contact.
