Then the cover for the batteries, under where the seat was, is usually held in place with Velcro and should just pull apart quite easily. Then you'll be able to see the batteries. You need to have the batteries fully charged, then test each one individually with a voltmeter because one battery might be ok and not need replacing. A single battery may cost around £50 so this is important. <br /><br />Holiday was quite amazing thanks, more of a pilgrimage really.
