Electric scooter components
A reference to e-scooter tyres: reading the size on the sidewall (ETRTO/ISO 5775 and inch markings), tubed/tubeless/solid construction, Schrader vs Presta valves, tread, pressure and when to replace.
Blog
A practical owner's guide to e-scooter flats: why tyres go down, a roadside fix, a full home repair, prevention, and when to stop riding.
Blog
Suspension is one of the most over-bought e-scooter specs. What it actually does, why your tyres do most of the work, and when a fork is worth the weight.
Blog
Tyres are the only thing touching the road, so their type, pressure and tread quietly decide grip, comfort, range and how often you get a flat.
Blog
A quick, repeatable routine before every ride — tyres, brakes, stem, lights — adapted from cycling and motorcycling. Two minutes that catch failures at speed.
User guide
A physics model that estimates real-world range from speed, load, temperature, wind, terrain and tyre pressure, and explains why nameplate range is overstated.
User guide
The two eigenmodes of two-wheeled dynamics — weave and wobble: why an e-scooter's bars shake at 35-45 km/h and how tyres, headset and dampers tame it.
User guide
Rim, spokes and hub as the wheel's load-bearing structure: radial and impact loads, fatigue, rim types, plus an 8-step pre-ride wheel check.

User guide
How to corner on an e-scooter: lean angle, countersteering, body position, line choice, surface hazards and the common mistakes to avoid.
User guide
How heat affects an electric scooter: Li-ion ageing above +30 °C, brake fade, tyres on hot asphalt, IP protection in a downpour, and rider heat stress.
User guide
How to check an electric scooter before each ride in a minute: tyre pressure, brakes, the folding lock, throttle and charge, with ABC and M-check lists.
User guide
How cobblestones, tram tracks, gravel, wet leaves and road markings change e-scooter grip, with practical advice on speed, tyre pressure, stance and braking.
User guide
How an e-scooter tyre works: the physics of the contact patch, rolling resistance and grip, rubber compounds, casing construction and key safety standards.

User guide
A pre-purchase inspection checklist for a used electric scooter: serial and recall checks, battery health, frame, motor, brakes, tyres and a test ride.
User guide
How cold affects four scooter systems: Li-ion chemistry below 0 °C, range loss, grip on ice, and corrosion from road salt and condensation.
