I appreciate the video you make. About a year ago, I had a GO-Go scooter with a bad axle. I found a replacement axle & motor on eBay and repaired the scooter. After watching another video you did on a bad transaxle, I decided to try to repair the broken one. The bad bearing was in the housing. I replaced both and sold the axle on eBay!
Another great video Ian. If I had the right spare part I would have done the same as you, hope you and your good lady are well and be lucky, from sunny Corfu.
Love your videos! So interesting. I recently sent a 2019 pride lx cts to be repaired. I'm thinking it's the transaxle. It wasn't holding a charge with new batteries also. Transaxle is expensive to replace! I looked up prices. Do you think it's worth fixing
If the scooter is out of warranty, then yes, the parts are going to be expensive if its indeed the transaxle. Due to it being an LX I would take in consideration the age of the scooter. The thought of replacing the transaxle with the same type that might brake again depending on how the scooter is used I would look at a different model scooter.
What a mess. That collar on the shaft prevents easy removal and replacement of the locked up bearing holder. There must be better design solution, like a removable collar with set screws or locking rings. It looks like you need a complete set of metric tools, including special ones to reach hard to access fasteners. Finding gaskets and other OEM parts must be a PITA as they become discontinued. I'd be grumpy too, lol.

Glad it helped and thanks for watching.

I'm pack rat when it comes to parts for myself 😁 I'll save every nut and bolt I can. Stay cool brother.

Hi Gary, there's always a better design solution but build it cheap comes before practicality it seems.
can I buy a few of those bearing assembly?
Only on the used market otherwise it's a whole new replacement item.
