Because of slow business, I have had to close MotorManMike Electric Scooter Repair. If you need to contact me, you may use my old email address if you still have it. I cannot currently repair scooters or answer questions. I do have an inventory of scooter parts, and even a few scooters, but I need to do an actual inventory to find out what I have. When I have done so, I may put the parts up on the site for sale. Until then, you may browse the site to see if there is any information you can use.

Regrets,

Mike.

New and Used Scooters

In addition to electric scooter repair services, I now have a full line of new scooters in my shop for you to test ride. From the full sized Equinox, that will do 30mph and climb all but the steepest hills, to the cute little Viza Volt for the smallest kids!

If you are in the Seattle-Tacoma area, stop by and ride these fun vehicles, even if you are not serious about making a purchase yet.

Of course, you can purchase a scooter from my store with complete confidence as I only stock the highest quality scooters and I service what I sell. In fact, I repair most makes and models of electric scooters, and I stock most needed parts for most of the more common scooters.

Parts

I try to stock as many of the most often requested parts for various electric scooters as I have space for. While I mostly stock parts for the scooters I sell, I also try to stock some parts for 'e-scooters' and other popular makes. While it is time-consuming to search for parts for obscure scooters, if you are having difficulty in finding a certain part, feel free to email me and if I have extra time, I will see if I can find your part.

I have also just opened an account with a bicycle parts supplier, and now stock various accessories and bicycle related tools and parts. As an example, I stock helmets, locks, pumps, head and tail lights, seats, suspension seat posts, baskets, computers, chain lube, bells and other similar stuff.

Technical Information

As I come across various information and fixes that I feel may be interesting to a number of people, I will try to write them up and post them under Tech Info. You can also find notes about scooter laws, wiring diagrams, and advice on choosing and maintaining an electric scooter. Often, if I get the same general (or specific) question asked frequently, I will try to save one of my responses and post it under this heading.

I always have a backlog of these projects, but if you check back from time to time, I will be continuously posting new articles. You may also request a new article if you think it will be useful to a number of people.



Battery seems to be charged, but your scooter still won't go?

Your battery still might be the problem:

Many scooter problems are battery related. The type of battery most often found in electric scooters is a sealed lead acid battery. These batteries have no 'memory effect', but they need to be kept charged. Any lead acid battery will slowly discharge during periods of non-use. Letting a scooter stand with a dead battery will damage the battery.

Quality chargers will not attempt to charge a battery that has been severely discharged because of the danger of overheating both the charger and the battery (I have seen poor quality chargers melt severely discharged batteries). Most chargers will show a green light in this case. The green light means that either the battery is charged, or the charger is not connected to a 'chargeable' battery. If your battery does not seem to be charged, and the charger goes to green almost immediately, and you haven't charged the battery in a long time, it may be that it has been discharged for too long and will have to be replaced. Rule of thumb: Always put your scooter on the charger right after riding. Go here for more instructions on how to properly care for your scooter battery.
