If your electric scooter turns on but does not move it could be an issue with the belt or chain if your electric scooter has the belt or chain or it could be an issue with the electric motor.

A defective switch could also be a cause of the electric scooter not moving but turning on.

Or the battery may be too weak to make the electric scooter move.

If the electric scooter still does not move and the motor is not working then it could be a control board issue.

Lithium scooter batteries last between 2 to 4 years depending on how often you use the scooter and how much you use the scooter.

The more you use the scooter and put on more miles on the scooter the less the battery will last.

You can expect at least 2 years out of a lithium scooter battery as long as you keep the battery charged and don't let the lithium scooter battery sit dead for days before charging it.

Sometimes the scooter battery can be good for 4 years but after 2 years it's usually a good idea to replace the scooter battery with a new one.

The electric scooter battery life ranges depending on the model.

However, you can expect an electric scooter to last around an hour on a full charge, if not more.

This results in ongoing fun and entertainment for people of all ages.

For example, the EPrimeElectricScooter battery life lasts up to 40 minutes before needing recharged.

you can replace the battery in your electric scooter, though it may not be cost effective.

Batteries are one of the most costly components of the electric scooter.

Even a small 250 watt hour battery, like that from an M365, costs around $150 US or about ⅓ the cost of the entire scooter!

If your e-scooter is underperforming, the most common reason will be due to having underinflated tires.

If the tires are low and aren't fully inflated, this causes the e-scooter to work much harder, which will inevitably cause your battery to drain faster.
