I have ordered a fuse from ebay, Yes I will try that Harry
as it may well be something on the scooter that is at fault
although I doubt that as the scooter was being used until
the batteries failed, who knows.

The scooter itself works ok as I replaced with new batteries.

You might not have ordered the correct fuse, I'm afraid.

I've just been taking another hard look at the picture and I'm
now convinced that there *is* a fuseholder, though not like
anything I've ever seen before.

If you look carefully, the botton end cap appears to be
sitting in a cup and I think that that is the other cup on the
end of the wire - look at the height of it compared to the
width - its much less than the length of a fuse cap!

It isn't easy to scale, but I reckon it is a 20mm fuse so a
mains fuse is too fat to fit the cups. It might also be useful
to know excactly what is engraved on the remaining end cap if
I'm right, you should be able to just pull it out.

Oh, and measure the diameter of the cap as well.
