Throttle goes dead after sitting a moment
This is the Pro 60V’s throttle safety-lock, not a fault: the throttle is disabled at power-on and whenever the truck sits idle for about 10 seconds.
What to do
Still not working? If a brake squeeze doesn’t bring the throttle back, or the throttle spins freely instead of springing back, call or text us and we’ll get it resolved quickly. That’s a different issue, covered in Throttle not responding.

- Throttle not respondingThe most common cause is a broken internal mechanism in the throttle, and one twist tells you whether that’s it.
- Won’t power onWhen there are no lights and no response at all, it’s almost always something simple on the power side, starting with the battery switch.
- Powers on but won’t driveIf the headlight comes on and the battery gauge reads, the truck has power, and the cause is almost always one of the drive interlocks rather than a real fault.
