My Segway MAX G3 had a flat tire on the rear wheel with the motor. So, I tried to replace it…read moremyself, but it was a pain in the ass, requiring an unfathomable amount of muscle and force. Then, I looked up on Google: "Electric Scooter Shops near me". The first result was "Electric Transportation Repair" located at 1181 N. 4th St, Ste. 10.
I called the listed phone number, and made an appointment with them. The next day (Friday, April 17th), I went in with my rear wheel rim and a brand new SOLID tire (I had to buy a solid tire, because the "Tubeless Tires" cannot prevent even the tiniest punctures, especially a nail that is 2mm big), I asked them to install the solid tire onto the rim, that was all I wanted (I went ahead by removing the tubeless tire myself, with an insurmountable amount of brute force, I even had to use a torch and even a power saw to cut it off). I gave them $70 in cash up front. They had me fill out the documents (Name, Phone Number, E-Mail), and they told me to come back today (Monday, April 20th) to pick it up.
Fast forward to today (Monday, April 20th), I went back, it was ready and done. I took it back home, re-installed the rim and wheel back on the Segway. I tested it out, it still showed the red "Tire Pressure Check" banner on the screen of my Segway MAX G3, but at this point, it is just a mild inconvenience, and just to not pay any attention to it anymore. I rode my scooter for a bit, it was a little slow to start, but that is because the battery was at 10%, and I forgot about that. But other than that, it runs smoothly. I am deeply excited that I get to ride my scooter again.
I HIGHLY and STRONGLY Recommend this place if you want your scooter's tires replaced. The staff here were very welcoming and enduring to converse with. I'm glad that these small, mom-and-pop businesses are around in this day and age, at a time when owning cars is becoming a luxury rather than a necessity, as well as gas and diesel prices are expected to increase significantly over the next several months. I think it's best to purchase an electric scooter (or electric bike, either way), because its much easier to maintain service and repairability compared to a traditional, gas/diesel-powered car or truck.
I cannot believe they have been around for 10 years now (since 2016). They have come a long way, repairing electric transportation machines, and even selling them at reasonable prices rather than paying markup at big, faceless corporations who only care about selling their products just for money, not even caring about the integrity or principles of the products they sell to us.
I am so glad this business is around. Thank you very much, Electric Transportation Repair, you're the best! Keep up the amazing work!!
