Electric scooters are generally very reliable and durable machines. With the correct care problems will rarely ever arise. In the occasion that this event occurs however, identifying what is wrong with your scooter should not be a dreadfully complicated task. The majority of problems encountered by owners of electric scooters revolve around the battery, so a wise thing to do first is check the battery. Lead acid batteries operate most electric scooters and, as a result of neglect, this battery can experience leakage. This is probably the worst type of problem that can arise as a leaking battery cannot be charged and is hence, useless. Attempts to charge the damaged battery will lead to melting of either the battery or the charger and is very dangerous. To avoid this battery degradation it is advised that the battery be charged after every usage of the electric scooter or at least on a regular basis.

Any other problem that may occur is likely to be a minor problem and if you are confident in your skills as a mechanic you should have no trouble fixing the problem yourself. However if you are less than equipped with mechanic skills or simply feel that you do not possess the knowledge about scooters required to identify and fix the problem or if you would simply rather not fix the problem yourself, there are many scooter repair stores available to you. In the occasion that there is no mechanic in your area however, you can ship your scooter to a mechanic via courier or you can simply bring the scooter to the garage yourself. If there is one in your area you have a number of options again. You can bring your scooter to the garage or you can request for the mechanic to come to your household and fix it on the spot. Most mechanics will make house calls for a small fee.
