Dual diode module in a common cathode configuration. They also come in common anode flavors.

In a scooter driver the diode pack would most likely be the back-EMF diode, so if that "broke off" your FETs are probably all fried.
 
It would prevent EMF spikes as part of a snubber circuit. The cathode would probably then lead to a resistor and capacitor in parallel which would absorb the high voltage induction spikes from the motor.
