thompson electric scooter

From a tiny thumbnail pic like that, I can barely see that it is a scooter. 
There's a few posts that mention them, though:

My first advice is to go looking at some pictures of Chinese scooters and see what is a match. That's bound to have been marketed under multiple names. EVT comes to mind.
Might yours be the CS600X? Should that mean that it is 600w? I'm barely familiar with the 1500w brushless hub version, no idea about yours. https://electricscooterparts.com/thompson-cs600-scooter-parts.html

Do you mean you need new batteries for it?mikko said:
Or do you want to know what kind are in it now?
Or?
The best way to figure out what's in it or what it would need as a replacement is to open up the battery compartment and look inside. Take pics of the labels on the battery and post them up here, and we can help you figure out what you could replace it with.
Which parts? Are there specific ones that have failed?
Tires, tubes, light bulbs, etc are probably standard for scooters of that size, so wherever you have local parts like that available; just take the old ones into the shop and they can figure out what they have that fits.
Controller, dc-dc, etc, can probably be replaced with generics if they fail, but would likely require figuring out what wires do what and go where on the old ones vs the new ones. Would also require figuring out the voltage and current limit of the controller/etc.; it is probably marked on it.
Motor can probably be replaced with any other generic scooter motor of the same axle width and hub/rim size, as long as it is wound for the same speed (or whatever speed you're after, if different), and capable of the wattage you need.
Body panels, etc., you'd probably have to get off another scooter of the same model/year, unless the maker of that one also made others with identical panels/etc. As noted by Dauntless, it's not unlikely that many of these are the same, with just different stickers on them for the "brand".

So the best case scenario with this thing would be to discover that it's identical to some major scooter like Xtreme, etc. then there's parts, exploded diagrams, all sorts of things that make your life easier. I noticed that all the official photos of the CS600's looked like the one at electric scooter parts, but there were miscellaneous postings like yours with that Thompson sticker. Maybe they were YOUR scooter, even the same color, but I don't know. l've chased parts to fix a lot of these scooters, you gotta start enjoying the detective work, eh? The fairings could be different but it's the same bike underneath, or the fairings could be the same but they're really different.
You find a number on your controller that you can do a search for online, it usually brings up a compatible controller that would swap right in. That's the single best head start I know. A site that has the controller is bound to have more parts than a site that doesn't. A lot of parts don't really need to be from the 'SAME' bike, but at least knowing what the right part is helps to find things compatible. A site that listed all the right parts but they're 'Out of stock' is more valuable than you understand right now. I like to look for images because you can see if it looks right. What could be better?

Voltron

18 amp hour sounds about right... as far as sealed lead acid for that kind of scooter goes, 12/14 amp hour is a little small, which means less range, and harder on the batteries to put out the amps to feed the controller, but cheaper initially. 24ish amp hour is getting pretty big and heavy, and a maybe on cramming them in. Better range and lifespan as you go bigger, and more expense at first but maybe better payback over time.
The Amp hour (ah) size is less important than the voltage for getting it running at first.
For example... heres what 6 x14ah looks like size wise. They're 11 or so pounds apiece. This is sometimes what happens when you get a broken down 48v scooter and throw away everything but the motor and run it at 72v.

Mikko, just a bit of advice:
When you are trying to get help, you should give all of the specific info you have, and ask all of the specific questions you want an answer to, and it's much more likely that people will be able to help you. They may even have the exact info you need, but they can't know that or give it to you if they don't know what you want.
Knowing those two bits of info would have let us help you immediately, rather than days later. You Plus, if you gave the measurements, that would have helped us help you even more.

Excellent, 48 volts. Don't use lead batteries; they suck. Measure the limits of the battery enclosure and find an automotive module in the 44V-52V range to realize far better range, longer life, less maintenance, lower weight, and stronger performance.
Here's one example. It may or may not fit, but it's representative of the category.
