Does it have a series wound or sepex motor?
What is the battery pack voltage?
Does the solenoid click?

It has a series motor. Its Voltage is 37.6 and the solenoid does not click.

Then how can I test the solenoid because I don't want to just throw parts at it?

Probably not the solenoid. Most likely the pedal switch or the reed switch.

Here is a schematic with solenoid activation circuit highlighted

What is the reed switch? Where is it? Also how can I test the pedal box and the reed switch?

The reed switch is inside the charger receptacle. A simple continuity test with the charger plug disconnected is the only test necessary. If it fails, simply bypass it, and loop the charger cord through the steering wheel to keep from driving away with it plugged in.

So how do I test the pedal box? How do I test the reed switch? Please explain. I'm sorry but I'm new to this whole thing.
