Fall in Love With Your Electric Scooter All Over Again
As an electric scooter sales and service center, we are amazed by how many old, rusted scooters come in for repairs. With the weather improving, more people are digging out their electric scooters from beneath piles of garage collectibles.
When planning to repair your trusty old scooter, consider: Does it still run? Can it hold a charge? How much will it cost to get it running again? Is it worth the investment, or should it head to the scrap heap?
Function Over Form
The appearance doesn’t matter if the scooter's internals aren’t working. With some rust remover and polish, you’d be surprised how good it can look. However, focus first on the essentials?"its "brain" and "guts."
The Scooter's Brain
The controller box is the brain. It manages lights, the voltage from batteries, and motor wattage. Depending on the scooter's make and age, finding a compatible controller might be challenging. Prices for controllers range from $25 to $45.
The Guts
The batteries are critical. Before making any decisions, test each battery individually. Use a charger with an automatic cutoff and voltage display. If a battery charges to 12.5 volts or higher, it’s good, saving you $35 to $45 on replacement costs.
In multi-battery systems, you might only need one new battery. If anyone insists on replacing all without testing, they're likely after your money. Always test each battery yourself.
Decision Time
Once you’ve checked the batteries, reconnect them and lift the rear wheel to test the throttle. If it works, repairing may be worthwhile. If not, further investigation is needed, but it might not be worth the effort.
Ultimately, consider whether fixing the old scooter is preferable to buying a new model.
