RIDE HUB’S SERVICE HUB GUIDELINES

As Ride Hub Australia experts work on your e-ride and configure the best way to solve the issue, we ask to please bear with us and take note that this may take some time to repair your e-ride to the best of our abilities. 

Please be aware of certain charges that may be incurred to serve you better.

Just a few heads up that you should know if you are requesting to repair your electric ride:

  1. 👉 The time it takes to evaluate and repair an e-ride can range up to 5 weeks, depending on the repair queue and shipping delays. 
  2. 👉 To initiate a repair request, the customer must provide a video that shows the issue with the e-ride. We recommend that the customer seek assistance from another person to film the e-ride being ridden to avoid any accidents. The Ride Hub technical team will review the video within 2 business days and suggest a resolution that may involve providing instructions to fix the issue, replacing parts, sending the e-ride to a repair partner or shop, or replacing the entire e-ride depending on the severity of the problem.
  3. 👉 After going through the sent video with the issue, the Ride Hub technical team will reach out to the customer to help troubleshoot the e-ride, if needed.
  4. 👉 Ride Hub asks the customer to kindly follow the recommended steps first because if the Ride Hub technical team finds no issue with the e-ride, the customer will be responsible for the shipping and evaluation fees. 
  5. 👉 In the event that the e-ride has lapsed in its warranty period, the customer must pay for the shipping fees, parts replacement and labor fees.
  6. 👉 It is also important to know that proper packaging is required when sending the e-ride back for repair to avoid damages while it is in transit. Ride Hub wants to make sure your e-ride gets to us in good shape despite unforeseen travel conditions. However, damages incurred on the e-ride while in transit due to poor packing by the customer will not be covered by warranty. Please pack it well, otherwise Ride Hub can refuse to repair the e-ride or even void the warranty.
  7. 👉 To further elaborate, without the proper packing of your e-ride, (the proper one should be just like how you originally received your brand-new e-ride), your e-ride may arrive at the Ride Hub headquarters in a very poor shape– maybe even dilapidated–and this is what we are avoiding. If this is the situation at hand, Ride Hub has the right to refuse to handle your e-ride to avoid liability in case there may be further damages found.
  8. 👉 Hence, if the original box and foam are no longer available, the customer must secure the same packaging with similar dimensions. Ride Hub can supply new boxes and foam with a small fee, just reach out to Ride Hub.

BASIC PARTS OF AN E-SCOOTER:

Handlebar

The handlebar is the part that you interact with the most. On this part, you can see the handles, display screen, brake controls, accelerator, and other features and controls of your electric scooter.

A good handlebar consists of handles with a good grip and controls that are designed for ease of use. Your e-scooter handles are an important part of controlling your e-scooter.

Stem

The stem is the long tube that connects your handlebar to the front wheel and the rest of the electric scooter parts.

This part can be folded and can become a handle when the e-scooter is carried.To prevent any damage to the folding mechanism and the stem, avoid putting pressure on the handlebars.

Lights

Most electric scooters have a built-in LED headlight and a tail light which gives enough illumination to see and stay visible during night rides.

Make sure to always check the LED light of your e-scooter if it gives enough illumination to help you see the road, especially at night.

Battery

The battery is the life of your e-scooter, like the gas tank but more eco-friendly since it is made up of many cells that store the energy that your electric scooter needs to ride.
Batteries are usually located under the deck, but in some cases, they can be found within the stem.

Most electric scooters also use Lithium-ion batteries because they have better capacity and stability.

Deck

The deck is the platform where you stand on.
Different electric scooters use different materials for the deck.

Most models use rubberised decks for better grip.
E-scooter decks usually measure 14” x 5”, which is wide enough to place your feet.


Controllers

A speed controller is a component located within the e-scooter that looks like a rectangular metal with many different wires attached to it.

The controller manages the current flow from the battery to the motor.The controller bases how much current flow passes through via the accelerator.

Tyres

There are two types of tyres:

1) Pneumatic (air-filled) Pneumatic tyres provide better ride quality as they cushion bumps better than solid tyres, however they are vulnerable to punctures.Larger pneumatic tyres can offer better shock absorption than suspensions.


2) Solid (airless) tyres offer less maintenance and promise no punctures at all, but do not cushion bumps on the road, therefore offering poor ride quality.

Motor

Usually the motor is placed within one or both of the e-scooter wheels. These are brushless direct current electric motors (BLDC) built within wheel hubs.


Powerful e-scooters, like those used for off-roading, may have dual motors, which means there’s one in each wheel.
E-scooter motors are measured in wattage and rated based on power consumption. The higher the wattage, the more powerful the electric motor.
Commuter e-scooters usually have around 250W to 500W motors, while off-road e-scooters offer 1200W motors and above.

Brakes

Brakes are an important part of an e-scooter since it is what helps the rider stay safe and stay in control while riding. There are different types of brakes, divided into mechanical brakes and electronic brakes.Mechanical brakes offer stronger braking power and use mechanisms to slow down.Electronic brakes use the motor to stop, and it includes electronic and regenerative brakes that don’t need any maintenance at all.

Suspension


The suspension helps improve ride quality as it stabilizes the rider’s ride on bumpy roads.
Suspension found on e-scooters include hydraulic, spring, and rubber suspension. Only a few e-scooters offer suspension.
