Electric Scooter Maintenance: How to Replace the Fuses

Replacing the fuses on an electric scooter is an important aspect of maintaining your vehicle's health and safety. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth replacement process, and always consult your scooter’s manual for specific instructions and safety information before you begin.

Safety First

• Disconnect the power: Ensure your electric scooter is powered off and the charger is disconnected.


• Safety gear: Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes during the process.

Locate the Fuse

• Access the battery compartment: Typically, fuses are located within or near the battery compartment or under a foot deck or panel on the scooter.


• Identify the fuse: Consult your scooter's manual to find the exact location and type of fuse used.

Remove the Old Fuse

• Examine the fuse: Carefully inspect the fuse to confirm if it has blown. A blown fuse may show visible damage or discoloration.


• Remove safely: If the fuse is indeed blown, gently remove it from its holder. You may need to use a fuse puller or a small set of pliers.

Install the New Fuse

• Correct specifications: Purchase a new fuse that matches the exact specifications (voltage and amperage) as the one you've removed.


• Insert the new fuse: Place the new fuse into the holder, ensuring a snug fit without forcing it.

Test the Scooter

• Reconnect power: Before closing any panels, reconnect your scooter’s power.


• Test for function: Turn on your electric scooter and test its functions to ensure the new fuse is working correctly.

If at any point you’re unsure or uncomfortable with the process, seek professional assistance. Keeping a spare fuse on hand is also recommended for quick replacements in the future. By following these simple steps, you'll have your electric scooter running smoothly again with minimal downtime.
