However, batteries can go dead for any number of reasons. For example, if it is extremely cold or you simply run down the battery by using the scooter. Or if you haven\u2019t used your scooter in a while, the battery might have just lost its charge. If this is the case, try charging your battery for a while. It may take up to 23 hours for your scooter battery to charge completely, especially if it is completely depleted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some cases, an old battery may no longer be able to hold a charge. Generally, electric scooter batteries can go through 300 to 500 charging cycles before they begin to degrade. Exceptionally high-quality batteries may be able to go through 1000 charging cycles if they have been treated well. Once your battery has outlived its number of charging cycles, you may need to replace it. You can usually purchase new batteries from the manufacturer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overtaxing the battery, riding your scooter too hard, or riding in the rain can damage your battery and wear it out faster.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check the Kill Switch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some scooters have a kill switch to conserve battery life. If your switch is in the off position, your scooter won\u2019t start.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"712\" src=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/A-bad-battery-is-the-cause-of-many-common-scooter-issues2-1.jpg\" alt=\"A bad battery is the cause of many common scooter issues2 1\" class=\"wp-image-10132\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/A-bad-battery-is-the-cause-of-many-common-scooter-issues2-1.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/A-bad-battery-is-the-cause-of-many-common-scooter-issues2-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/A-bad-battery-is-the-cause-of-many-common-scooter-issues2-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A bad battery is the cause of many common scooter issues. <em>Rick Richards<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2.<\/strong> <strong>The Scooter Overheats<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Riding your scooter in high temperatures or riding it too hard for too long can cause the motor to overheat. You might just need to turn the scooter off and let it cool down before riding again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there may be other problems causing the scooter to overheat. Once the scooter is cool enough to handle without getting burned, check that the fuse isn\u2019t blown. Also, make sure the wiring hasn\u2019t come loose or melted. If so, you\u2019ll need to make an appointment with a scooter repair professional to fix it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. The Scooter Cycles On and Off or Shuts Down<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your scooter shuts off or slows down while riding, it could be a worn-out battery. In many electric scooters, the speed control will shut down if the voltage gets too low. So if the battery power drops because the battery is out of juice or is old and worn down, the motor will simply shut off.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the battery is old or broken, once the motor turns on, the battery voltage can drop to zero percent, and the motor shuts down. Then, when the motor is off, the battery percent will rise, turning the motor back on. This faulty battery then causes the motor to cycle on and off.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this is the case, you probably need to replace the battery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4.<\/strong> <strong>The Scooter Doesn\u2019t Work<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes your scooter won\u2019t work because the fuse is blown. The fuse\u2019s job is to protect the wiring in the scooter. So if too much electricity flows through the scooter, the fuse will blow to protect the circuits. If this happens, you just need to replace the fuse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, unplug the battery unit so you don\u2019t get shocked. The fuse is probably located near the battery. Next, use a screwdriver to unscrew the cover near the battery that covers the fuses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look for the blown a fuse and purchase a new one \u2013 it\u2019s important to get the right one, or it won\u2019t work! You may be able to get the fuse at your local hardware store, but you might have to purchase one from the manufacturer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Replace the fuse, then replace the cover.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5.<\/strong> <strong>The Scooter Won\u2019t Run at Full Speed<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"626\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Check-your-tire\u0393COs-air-pressure-before-every-ride-if-applicable.3-626x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Check your tire\u0393COs air pressure before every ride if applicable 3\" class=\"wp-image-10133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Check-your-tire\u0393COs-air-pressure-before-every-ride-if-applicable.3-626x1024.jpg 626w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Check-your-tire\u0393COs-air-pressure-before-every-ride-if-applicable.3-183x300.jpg 183w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Check-your-tire\u0393COs-air-pressure-before-every-ride-if-applicable.3-768x1257.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Check-your-tire\u0393COs-air-pressure-before-every-ride-if-applicable.3-938x1536.jpg 938w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Check-your-tire\u0393COs-air-pressure-before-every-ride-if-applicable.3.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Check your tire&#8217;s air pressure before every ride if applicable. <em>Ser Amantio di Nicolao<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6.<\/strong> <strong>The Motor Won\u2019t Run With a Person on the Scooter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If the motor only runs without a rider, it\u2019s probably a faulty battery. Sometimes, the motor shut down once it begins to pull more juice from the battery. Replace the battery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7.<\/strong> <strong>The Scooter Doesn\u2019t Move When the Motor Runs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There may be a few causes for this. First, you may have a loose or broken belt. Or your clutch may be worn out. In both these cases, you\u2019ll probably need to find a professional scooter technician to repair your electric scooter.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8.<\/strong> <strong>The Tires Are Flat<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your scooter has pneumatic tires (air tires), they can go flat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, try pumping up your tires to the manufacturer\u2019s recommended PSI.If the tires hold air, great. If not, you may need to repair or replace the tire.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have tubeless tires, you may be able to fix the flat with some green slime. First, let all of the air out of your tire. Carefully check the tire for a puncture and remove any debris, such as a nail or piece of glass. Pour in the recommended amount of green slime and spin the tire. Then, pump up the tire and make sure it can hold air. You can also use <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/spHMiCQIfFk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">green slime<\/a> to repair a tire.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the tire is still flat, you may need to replace the tire. You can order replacement tires from the manufacturer and <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/n3PFbTdtSsk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">replace them yourself<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Prevent Flat Tires&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, flat tires are inevitable. But you can take some steps to prevent flats. First, keep your tires at the optimum PSI. If your tire pressure is too low, your tire can roll over its rim and get a pinch flat. On the other hand, if your tire pressure is too high, the tire can come off the rim or pop, causing an accident.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your tires are tubeless, you can use the green slime as a preventative measure to protect against small punctures. In addition, the sealant inside the tire will fill up the hole, preventing a flat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, try to avoid obstacles, debris, and rough surfaces that can damage and puncture your tires.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"889\" src=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Scooter-brake-pads-are-similar-to-bike-brake-pads4.jpg\" alt=\"Scooter brake pads are similar to bike brake pads4\" class=\"wp-image-10134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Scooter-brake-pads-are-similar-to-bike-brake-pads4.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Scooter-brake-pads-are-similar-to-bike-brake-pads4-300x281.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Scooter-brake-pads-are-similar-to-bike-brake-pads4-768x719.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Scooter brake pads are similar to bike brake pads. <em>Homoatrox<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>9.<\/strong> <strong>The Brakes Aren\u2019t Working Well<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your electric scooter brakes aren\u2019t working well, there\u2019s a good chance you need to replace the brake pads. In many cases, the brake pads on your electric scooter are like the brake pads on your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/best-bike-brands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bicycle.<\/a> So if you are comfortable changing your bike brakes, you can probably change your own scooter brakes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brakes may last anywhere from 200 to 600 miles, depending on how hard you use them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, remove the brake pad pin. Then remove the brake pad from the caliper.

Clean Your Scooter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can\u2019t hose down your scooter like you would a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/best-hybrid-bikes-for-women\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bicycle <\/a>or a car. Instead, try to wipe down your scooter with a damp rag and a little bit of cleaner, if necessary. Keep moisture away from the wiring, motor, and battery or try <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/-8NRF9QtmrI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">quick cleaning<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Lubricate the Moving Parts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/best-road-bike-brands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Just like a bicycle<\/a>, an electric scooter has moving parts that you can lubricate to keep it working better and prevent damage. Use a quality lubricant, such as WD-40 Specialist Bike Chain Lube (not regular WD-40). You can spray this on the moving parts:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7&nbsp;Wheel and headset bearings,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 Latches and folding mechanisms&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not get lubricant on the brakes or other delicate scooter parts. Instead, make sure you wipe away any excess lubricant.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Check for Loose Wires<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Check your cables from time to time to ensure they haven\u2019t come loose. You can gently tighten screws and bolts to tighten down the wires. If the wires are melted, or you don\u2019t know how to tighten them, you\u2019ll need to seek help from a professional.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"712\" src=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Keeping-an-eye-on-your-scooters-moving-parts-will-help-it-last-longer.6.jpg\" alt=\"Keeping an eye on your scooters moving parts will help it last longer 6\" class=\"wp-image-10135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Keeping-an-eye-on-your-scooters-moving-parts-will-help-it-last-longer.6.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Keeping-an-eye-on-your-scooters-moving-parts-will-help-it-last-longer.6-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Keeping-an-eye-on-your-scooters-moving-parts-will-help-it-last-longer.6-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Keeping an eye on your scooters moving parts will help it last longer. <em>Captain Raju<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Check Your Brakes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure your brakes are working well. Replace pads as necessary.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Check Your Tires<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep your tires at the recommended pressure. <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/bX2N24Rj8fU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Check for debris<\/a> before every ride.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Keep an Eye on Your Battery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, the battery will wear out. As a result, you may notice that the battery charge does not last as long, or the scooter won\u2019t cover as many miles as it used to. If this happens, you may need to replace the battery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to Call a Professional&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you aren\u2019t good at repairs, you may want to skip all the DIY repairs and take your electric scooter to a professional.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that if you repair your scooter wrong or you make a mistake when repairing your scooter, it could cost even more to fix it. It could also cause safety issues if the scooter turns off or the brakes fail.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts on Electric Scooter Repair&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In my opinion,cleaning and lubricating the moving parts of your electric scooter will help it stay in good repair. Making sure your tires have air will also go a long way towards keeping your scooter in great shape so it will last you a very long time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While some parts are easy to maintain like a bicycle, other parts will require professional assistance. Don\u2019t be afraid to get help when you need it and always be safe when riding.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions &nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1677826013911\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do I know I need a new battery?\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Some signs that your battery is failing are:<br\/>1. The scooter doesn\u2019t cover as many miles on a single charge as it used to<br\/>2. The scooter motor turns on and off intermittently while riding\u00a0<br\/>3. The scooter slows down and stops\u00a0<br\/>4. The scooter won\u2019t reach its maximum speed\u00a0<br\/>5.

They may need to be replaced if they are still flat even after repairing them. Also, if the tread on your tires has worn off, it may be time to replace the tires.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1677826190717\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is my scooter too old to ride?\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">If your scooter has been well-kept, it should last at least 3 to 5 years. If it is older than this and not working well, it might be time for a new one. On the other hand, a tune-up might be all that you need to get your old scooter running smoothly again.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1677826220496\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Where do I purchase new electric scooter parts?\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">First, try the manufacturer&#8217;s website to purchase parts for your electric scooter. They may be able to provide you with the exact part that you need. You might also look to your local bike shop, electric scooter technician, or even amazon.com for the parts you need.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A quality electric scooter should last for at least 3 to 5 years if it is well-maintained and used under good conditions.
