Your WANDLER electric scooter won't start? No "Ready" message on the display?

If your WANDLER electric scooter won't start and "Ready" isn't displayed, there could be several reasons. A common cause is that the side stand isn't folded up, or that the safety switch on the side stand is stuck or defective.

Is the side stand folded up?

First, check that the kickstand is properly folded in. Our electric scooters are equipped with a safety mechanism that prevents the scooter from starting while the kickstand is extended. Fold in the kickstand and try starting the scooter again.

Is the microswitch on the side stand stuck?

Check if the safety switch is dirty or if it can be moved with a finger. Often, cleaning or manually operating it is sufficient.

Is the microswitch on the side stand defective?

The safety switch on the side stand is a safety feature that prevents the scooter from starting when the side stand is deployed. Check the safety switch on the side stand for signs of wear or damage. If the safety switch is faulty, it can prevent the scooter from starting. In this case, the safety switch should be replaced. You can find the appropriate replacement part here: Safety switch for the side stand.

What to do if the scooter still won't start?

If you have folded up the side stand and the microswitch is intact, but your WANDLER electric scooter still won't start, the problem could have another cause. In this case, it is recommended to consult a professional to diagnose and fix the problem.

It's important to regularly check the safety features on your electric scooter to ensure it's functioning properly and you're safe on the road. If your electric scooter won't start, you should check the points mentioned above to identify possible causes and resolve the problem.
