Electric Scooter Parts

Dec 15, 2025

Choosing the right electric scooter has more to do with reliability and longevity than with range and speed. While all factors are important to consider, some electric scooters may seem popular but may pose maintenance issues. A good electric scooter doesn’t just ride well; it combines quality, performance, and maintenance, resulting in a durable, reliable scooter built for the long term.

Cost of an Electric Scooter

There are more costs to consider beyond the price tag when dealing with electric scooters. That said, aside from the upfront cost of purchasing the scooter, lifecycle costs are essential to know for any owner. Things like how often the scooter needs maintenance, or whether the parts that may need replacing are affordable and accessible. Especially considering Vancouvers robust terrain and weather conditions, users need a reliable and sturdy electric scooter that can thrive in these conditions.

A lower priced electric scooter may seem like a good purchase, but it can become expensive for the owner if the display, battery, or controller repeatedly malfunctions. Meanwhile, a more reputable brand and durable model are built with stronger components, essentially saving owners money over the span of the electric scooter's use. It's important to balance purchase cost with expected upkeep. Things like tires, brake pads, and tune-ups are normal for all electric scooters, but electrical failures can lead to expensive maintenance costs.

Electric Scooter Parts

An advantage of choosing the right electric scooter is the availability of the scooter parts. Standard parts like tires, brake pads, and tire tubes are common for electric scooter repair shops to keep readily available.

Good quality electric scooters brands are built with readily available parts, making maintenance and upkeep simpler and more affordable and accessible for users, which leads to fewer issues for owners during repairs. On the other hand, some brands that make custom components can result in more complex, expensive repairs.

Brands like Apollo make parts for their electric scooter exclusively for their own brand. These proprietary parts make for slower, more complicated repairs compared to brands that use more standard components. Because Apollo parts are not widely available, riders face longer wait times and higher repair costs.

Both of the regular Landturbo and the Landturbo Pro are suitable for both on-road and off-road riding. This electric scooter is a perfect option for riders in Vancouver, offering you flexibility with any terrain you choose to ride on.

Electric Scooter Maintenance 

Electric scooter maintenance is a key aspect that every scooter owner should be made aware of. Neglecting the health of your electric scooter can lead to further expenses down the road. The quality of the electric scooter will significantly affect the amount of time and money you will need to spend down the line.

Different models have different maintenance intervals, which means some electric scooters need to be repaired and maintained more often than others. It all relates to the brand's quality and the build.

As electric scooter repair professionals, and from word of mouth from riders in Vancouver, Apollo electric scooters have led to many issues and headaches for various owners. They have required more maintenance, including upkeep and repairs. We have had many instances of the controller blowing due to poor heat transfer, given that the controller's heatsink is relatively small. The display has been water-damaged in numerous cases. The cable design is also poorly designed, allowing water to enter the housing, which has led to both brake cables needing replacement. These are just some of the many reasons that brands that may seem desirable are not built to a high quality and will result in owners paying more in the long run for repairs.

Electric Scooter Cost

As professionals in this space, especially since at BC Escooter we service and repair electric scooters, we can confidently say that higher-quality electric scooters require fewer repairs and have substantially longer maintenance intervals. On the other hand, lower quality electric scooter brands are consistently running into issues. When you add the costs together over time, it can become clear that, as with anything, investing a bit more to buy a higher-quality product will not only provide a better overall experience but can also save the owner on maintenance costs.

As mentioned in the article, some electric scooter brands that might sound appealing or popular, after years of use by real customers, have been found to be poorly designed. Their high price point, combined with frequent failures, makes them a poor long-term investment. It’s essential for potential buyers to consider the terrain and weather conditions of Vancouver when considering which brand or model electric scooter to purchase. 

Be wary of which brands you buy into, and follow the guidelines we discussed in this article to look out for important factors to consider. Not only the initial cost of the electric scooter is important, but the maintenance intervals will reveal how often you may need to get it professionally serviced in order to keep its performance.
