mechanical parts and the electric parts (batteries, motor, etc).

Electrical
If the problem is electrical, your repair
options include:
-
Diagnose the problem yourself. Start
with our diagnostics page. After isolating
your problem, you'll know whether you can fix it yourself
or want a service company to repair it. You'll also find the
book Electric
Scooters and Beyond a helpful guide to understanding all aspects of LEVs.
-
Fix the problem yourself. If
you need parts before you fix it yourself,
get them from a parts retailer. Your local
LEV retailer may have what you need. If not, check our
list of on-line parts retailers.
-
Have someone repair it for you. If
you want someone else to solve the problem, your local
LEV retailer may do repairs. Many local retailers service
the brands they carry - and others. If not, check our list
of quality repair shops. Other shops that understand and
work on electric-powered devices include sew/vacuum shops, automobile
electric shops and electric wheelchairs shops.
