Hi
Where there's smoke, there's fire...or at least was.
There aren't many parts here that can fail. Electric motors are usually pretty sturdy, so the main culprits could be the controller or the batteries. First thing to do is to visually inspect the parts. If there was smoke, there was heat...so check for discoloring and warped plastics.
If you have a voltmeter, check if the batteries are actually full after you've charged them. My guess is one or both batteries have died.
good luck
