    hi @spike23 - & welcome to the community. I don't know if you have a manual, but this one online seems to show the battery compartment is on the tiller if you look at p21. Please see:

    Thanks for your reply but this doesn't give location of batteries. I sort of assumed they would be under the seat but not the case.

    There isn't much covered on that model. If they're not between the rear wheels then they may be laid flat under the footpads.

    If you look at the diagram, it seems the battery compartment is circled in green on the tiller.

    Thanks for comments, going looking again. Might be under floor, will look. Regarding the green circle, this is the charging point.

    Thanks again for your help. Looks as if they're under the foot well, under a plate.

    Does anyone know much about what's under the bonnet of the quingo flyte. The owners manual is very basic indeed. A service manual would be brilliant, but I think they're under tight wraps. It seems you must go back to quingo for everything.

    Is there a fault you're trying to fix or just general interest?

    @spike23 I have a Quingo Toura so I know the company very well, they do not want anyone doing repairs, replacing batteries for themselves, they do not let mobility shops touch them.

    I have two mobility shops in my area, I phoned up one and they would not touch it, they claimed that they did not have the right tools to repair a Quingo.

    Thankfully a new mobility shop had opened up, and he said that it was just rubbish, all what it was is basic tools that you need.

    Your battery should be located at the rear of your scooter underneath the plastic grey bit at the back.

    If you can remove this yourself, then you can access the batteries there, you can buy batteries on eBay.

    Quingo want you to go direct to them, and then paying for a call out charge and also billed for every 15 or 30 minutes.

    If you cannot do it yourself, hopefully you have a mobility shop that is local to you that will be able to help.

    I honestly wish that I had never purchased a Quingo now, but it had a rain cover and was local to me so they delivered and I got the thing for £1,000.

    I asked one mobility shop that done the repairs for me, if they would buy it, and they would not take it, they said that Quingo's are just far too much hassle.

    Hopefully you have the knowledge and the tools to fix it yourself.

    Thanks for the reply. The flyte batteries are under a plate on the floor. I had figured out access to anything on a quingo was made difficult, shame. Bit of the iPhone/apple philosophy there.

    @spike23 Yes in the location that I told you under the grey panel, you remove that. The grey panel protects the batteries from rain

    Here is a video that I found

    It's time to clean up the mess and introduce a common standard for chargers and batteries for PLEV.
