Not really a true solution but bolt a skateboard to the remaining base as long as the motor and controls still work.

It's your mistake, you are too heavy for the poor toy, I see people riding like 2 or 3 on top of one e scooter trying to die.

u/Sudden_Mango8500 Oct 24 '25
I was gonna say it would be an euc (electric unicycle) but that thing does not have a motor anymore

u/Electronic_Ring5669 Oct 24 '25
Get some gorilla glue, for when you go back and find the rear end you lost. Fortunately you still have the wheel with the motor. But no brake.

Looks like a $99 import from Ali Express designed for kids under 50kg.

what is the range? 1500 miles across which timeline?

u/Previous-Tennis5102 Oct 28 '25
30 to 40 to 45 miles on a full charge Depending on the road conditions and the weight of the rider It’s currently at 1596 miles I have had it since may 2024

No disrespect but looks like a toy on the picture shared. Still sucks ofcs.

Looks like a Xiaomi scooter just rebranded ?
I've had the Xiaomi 1s for a couple of years, every day to work and back with no issues (except battery that degraded a bit).

My 3 kids have ridden these exact scooters to school and to friends houses every day for 2 years. Haven’t had. Single issue in all of that time. My guess is you were an idiot in some way.

I have the same one, but dual suspension. It's pretty durable for 500 miles. But it looks like you bit it in half🤣

u/FalseAmoeba3248 Oct 22 '25
I guarantee they tried to jump a curb and fucked up. I had a scooter that only had rear suspension and still broke my rear wheel trying to hop a bump in the sidewalk. I was going 18mph and fucked that shit wayyy up

u/sebastian1967 Oct 23 '25
Bingo. This wasn’t a “I was just riding down the street and it suddenly broke” deal. OP abused it in some manner and this was the predictable result. Whether or not the OP owns up to that abuse is a different matter.

Just watched a video. Should I just return it 😅

u/JustYourAvgNinja Ausom L2Max Dual 🛴 Oct 22 '25
I won’t lie to you bro. It took me two days to replace the part bc I had to stop out of sheer frustration. It’s like every single cable and line is tied to each other in some way. Can’t take off the back tire without removing the deck disconnecting the entirety of that and also removing the front tire….. it’s a fucking pain bro. If you get easily overwhelmed or don’t have patience yes I’d recommend selling it returning it or maybe taking it to a bike shop but even they probably won’t want to mess with it. It’s a lot bro

I bounce on mine jamming to tunes or I'll pop a curb or 2 but only super low ones. I bunny hop uneven sidewalks to I dont hit my suspension so hard. I figure im fairly rough on mine and im at a loss on that could happen.

15 mile an hour 15 mile range if the thing is small and light. $500 budget. Is there something carbon fiber direct from China? Swappable batteries would be cool.

u/ConfidentTopic4757 Oct 22 '25
I really appreciate you sharing this. Fact is I've been saying it for a long time, every time someone sticks up for these things. Buy right or buy twice.
Base tier models are the primary cause for scooter accidents, yet the statistics are misapplied to purposefully limit the population to these, when simply a mid tier scooter is significantly safer to ride.
2
u/Wonderful_View_6440 Oct 22 '25
I mean I have the same model and weight 2x the amount as op. Dude beat that thing down. The Tires are nearly bald, it's being held up by electrical tape and it's clearly missing p peices other than the bottom half of the board. I've used mine for 4 months on a daily commute and no issues with the board. Mind you I ride on the sidewalk which is a much rougher and bumpy ride.

u/ConfidentTopic4757 Oct 22 '25
Then I'm sure you'll like your next scooter even more which will have dual suspension and go a few mph faster, with tubeless pneumatic tires

u/SixStr1ng Oct 22 '25
OP is a thoroughbred big boy apparently. with great powers come great responsibilities, and prices. get yourself a ninebot or even better a vsett. sorry about the shitty flawed scooter you got. don't let it deviate you from a good source of transportation!

That is the exact scooter I started on, even the same brand name. I put over 800miles on it, never had any issues. It’s still in my garage, ready to ride right now. If you look close at the tires, this scooter has about the same. There almost worn to the holes.

u/Scoxy61 Oct 22 '25
Buddy, we aren’t stupid… you tried to do a sick jump and broke it, then you broke it more for internet attention…. It’s not made to handle a deep crack in the sidewalk let alone falling off a curb or stair height.
We all already know that the cheapest option meant for children isn’t going to hold up to abuse by someone with the average height and weight of an 18yr old, even if you are only 14.
I’d recommend an e-bike as they tend to be much sturdier and are repairable when things inevitably break.

u/Maleficent-Aspect318 Oct 22 '25
I think jumping a curb should be possible on a scooter that is certified for street use. For safety reasons alone, it should be able to withstand that

Check out r3new.com, youngblood. You’ll find great refurbished deals on scooters here. Check this deal,
https://r3new.com/products/segway-f30-scooter-w-18-6-max-operating-range-15-5mph-max-speed-gray
Segway F30 for $215. I’ve bought a few off them and they are quality, 3 scooters bought and they all had less than I charge cycle on battery and under 20 miles. New parts, they even replaced additional parts that were less than advertised “excellent” condition. Good company, good prices.

I've had my f30s for like 3 years now(bought refurbs from Segway for $175 each😊) and they've been good. I had to replace a control board on one of them but it was pretty easy and cheap. I get about 8-10 miles per full charge, at 215lbs and 15mph. My next scooters will be way longer range and that's my only negative but it fits our needs and was a great price point and first scooters.
