How would you handle a broken electric scooter? Locating a repair facility for electric scooters might be challenging. Similar to other new technology, the service industry is still lagging behind the product. Where can your electric scooter be repaired?

Fear not! You may find out what your options are in this article if you need a scooter repair.

Repairs for electric scooters

It’s likely that you may need to perform some sort of maintenance on your scooter if you use it frequently enough. In reality, you should plan on a repair of some kind every 550 miles, or around every 6.5 months of use. Most likely, it will be a brake adjustment or a flat tire.

Self-Service Repairs

If your scooter is easy to maintain, you can handle the majority of routine repairs yourself. Be warned that even some of the most ubiquitous and well-liked electric scooter models (such the Segway Ninebot series) require frequent maintenance.

On the other side, some of our favorite e scooters, like the EMOVE Cruiser, are also some of the easiest models to fix because there are so many replacement components readily available online.

Find out how simple it is to perform the most frequent electric scooter repairs, including as changing flat tires, adjusting brakes, and tightening loose parts, before making a purchase.

Routine Upkeep (A little prevention goes a long way…)

Regular maintenance on your electric scooter might save far worse issues in the future. If you use your scooter frequently, this should also involve at least once a month monitoring the air pressure in the pneumatic tires and filling them off when necessary. (See our article on tires for electric scooters.)

If your electric scooter has disc brakes, you should once a week remove grit and road grime that can cause brake pads to prematurely wear out by wiping the rotors down with a little rubbing alcohol and a clean, moist cloth and letting them air dry. How are your brakes set up? (See this.)

Look for any loose screws on your scooter, especially near any moving parts like the folding handlebar hinges and stem locks.

You almost always have the tools you need around the house or in your car to complete most DIY repairs.

Check out the service manual

Everyone knows they’re dull and doesn’t want to read them. They do, however, have a purpose. If you don’t have a paper copy, you may probably find your model’s manual online at the website of the maker.

YouTube is a DIY treasure trove.

Return to the Distributor or Retailer

You may be in luck if you purchased your electric scooter from a reputable distributor. You can probably send it back for repair or replacement depending on their policy and the period since purchase. If you’re doing research for an electric scooter, make sure to look into the return policy and warranty details before purchasing.

Examine Your Warranty!

Look for warranty information on essential components such as the motor, battery, steering components, and other elements. The great majority of electric scooter repairs are small, but having peace of mind coverage for these main pieces is beneficial.

A store with a presence in your home nation, in our experience, will provide better customer service. Due to unreasonably expensive shipping costs and a high volume of sales, huge, overseas wholesalers like Alibaba or Amazon will be unable to serve you as well.

Most large general distributors, regardless of location, will not employ skilled mechanics who specialize in electric scooter maintenance. Because of their product knowledge and in-house scooter mechanics, sellers who specialize in electric cars will provide the finest customer support and service.

Retailers With Premium Repair Shops and Customer Support

The three stores listed below provide great service and customer support for their electric scooters through their own repair shops in a number of major cities.

These factory-authorized repair centers provide warranty and non-warranty service on most electric scooter parts.
