Thanks for your help we've had the scooter for a year and haven't had this problem. It won't go at all and we can't manually reverse it. The throttle won't kick in at any speed. I'm thinking the motor has seized or something? Thanks for your help we've had the scooter for a year and haven't had this problem. It won't go at all and we can't manually reverse it.

Try turning the motor's shaft by hand or with a pair of pliers. If it can spin, use a multimeter to test for output voltage from the motor (the motor generates electricity when it is turned, that's how the speed controller knows when to turn on). The speed controller is one of the things my kids don't like about their scooters. They wanna twist the throttle and just go. Try turning the motor's shaft by hand or with a pair of pliers.
