KYMCO UXV 500i - forward and reverse - pulls like emergency brake on
« on: June 17, 2021, 12:11:14 AM »
WHAT HAPPENED

The 4x4 feels sluggish starting after engaging "H" or "R":
  • remove parking brake
  • start uphill, or
  • downhill
  • turn right or left
  • or driving straight forward or backward

TESTS OK

  • foot brake not pressed
  • hand brake red light off

Are you in 2-wheel drive? 4-wheel is sluggish and 4-wheel drive with differentials locked is worse. When traction is good, worse yet.

Karl - I just bought the 500i (2nd owner). No off-road yet. I will compare 2-wheel to 4-wheel to differentials locked and get back to you.
