Notes

Electric rideables are commonly limited by battery aging and impact-related wear. Repair makes sense for consumables (tire) or a straightforward battery replacement when the board frame and electronics are healthy.

Replace is often the safer choice if the control electronics or motor show intermittent faults, if water intrusion is suspected, or if the repair cost approaches the threshold on an older pack with reduced range.
