Could the controller have got it's knicker's in a knot and if so is it possible to reset it? I have got some factory software and a lead.

I'd imagine that it's a controller problem.
Any chance of uploading your controllers programming file?

Main advantage is if you ask around, lots of folks will have old obsolete laptops that won't run the later Microsoft malware, and they can be had for little or nothing....

Over speed downhill is often caused by a motor fault, I have managed to fix this sometimes by just changing the brushes but removing the motor and giving it a good internal clean up and new brushes usually does the trick. Sometimes though, this does not work and a replacement motor had to be fitted. Turning the speedpot right down will help control the braking but once the motor exceeds a certain speed it will just let go and the scooter will run off until you release the paddles, the magnetic brake will then activate causing you to skid.

So while changing brushes may stop this temporarily the real answer is new bearings especially at the armatures brush end of the motor.
