We repair electric unicycles and hoverboards at every Wilson's shop, wherever you bought them: flat tire repair from $40, tire and tube replacement from $65, motor repair from $100 and battery testing from $50, parts and labor included. Looking it over and telling you what we find is always free. That covers INMOTION, King Song, Begode, Leaperkim and every other electric unicycle brand, and hoverboards from Hover-1, Gyroor, Swagtron, Jetson, Gotrax and the rest.
Self-balancing rides are a different job from an electric scooter. The motor, the battery, the control board and the balance sensors all live inside one shell, the wheel has to come out of the body to change a tire, and the board that keeps you upright has to be tested, not guessed at. Below are the prices, what our technicians check for each fault, and how the warranty works on the INMOTION wheels we sell.

Electric unicycle repair: what we check
Flat tire, or a tire worn to the cords
On an electric unicycle the wheel is the motor, so a tire change means taking the wheel out of the shell, disconnecting the motor cable and refitting it all with the right torque. We check the tube or tire, the rim, the motor cable where it leaves the axle and the bearings while it is apart. Flat repair starts at $40, and tire and tube replacement at $65, with off-road tires toward the top of the range.
Cut-outs, wobble at speed or a sudden tilt-back
A wheel that cuts out or tips you is a stop-riding fault. We read any fault the wheel reports, then test the battery under load, the control board, the motor phase wires and hall sensors, and every connector between the pack and the board. Voltage sag from a tired pack is a common cause of a cut-out at speed, which is why we test the battery before replacing anything else.
Won't turn on, or won't charge
We test the charger, the charging port, the pack voltage, the power button and the connectors, then the BMS and the control board. A worn charging port or a dead charger is a $35 fix; a BMS fault is $200; battery repair or replacement is quoted after the test.
Suspension that bottoms out or knocks
Suspended wheels like the INMOTION V12S, V11Y, V9 and V14 PRO need their shock, linkage bushings and slider bearings looked after. We check the shock for leaks and sag, the linkage for play and the travel against the maker's figure. Suspension service starts at $80.
Cracked shell, broken pedals, trolley handle or kickstand
Drops are part of learning to ride a wheel. We replace shell and body panels from $100, kickstands from $35, and check the pedal hinges and the trolley handle mechanism for bends and play. Crash damage repair starts at $30.
Lights not working
We test the headlight, taillight and brake light circuits and their connectors back to the board. Light repairs start at $35.
Hoverboard repair: what we check
One side doesn't respond, or the hoverboard won't balance
Each side of a hoverboard has its own sensor board that reads how you lean, and the main board drives both hub motors. When one side is dead or the board won't level, we test both sensor boards, the cables between them and the main board, and each motor's hall sensors. Hall sensor and phase wire repair starts at $100; a control board fault starts at $35.
Beeping, a flashing red light or an error code
The beep count or light pattern points to a fault, but it is a symptom, not a diagnosis. We read it, then test the part it points to: a sensor board, a motor, the battery or the board itself. Fixing the fault behind an error code starts at $35.
Won't charge, or the battery dies fast
We test the charger and the charging port first, because they are the cheapest fixes, then load-test the pack and check the BMS. Battery testing starts at $50, and battery replacement is quoted after the test.
Grinding, a wobbling wheel or a cracked case
We check the hub motor bearings, the axle, the tire and the plastic case around it. Hoverboards take hits from curbs and stairs, and a cracked case lets water reach the boards, so we check for moisture at the same time. Crash damage starts at $30 and water damage at $50.
Is my electric unicycle covered by a warranty?
The INMOTION electric unicycles we sell come with a one-year warranty handled by Wilson's: bring it to any of our shops and our technicians take care of the claim. Manufacturing defects are covered; damage from a crash, water, misuse or an unauthorized repair is excluded. See our warranty policy. Bought your wheel or hoverboard somewhere else?

Frequently asked questions
Do you repair electric unicycles?
Yes, every brand, including INMOTION, King Song, Begode and Leaperkim, at every Wilson's shop, wherever you bought it. A simple inspection is free.
Do you repair hoverboards?
Yes, any brand of hoverboard, from kids' models to off-road boards. Fixing the fault behind an error code starts at $35 and motor repair at $100.
How much does it cost to replace an electric unicycle tire?
Tire and tube replacement starts at $65 and runs to $120, parts and labor included; off-road and wide tires sit toward the top of that range. A flat repair starts at $40.
Can you replace an electric unicycle or hoverboard battery?
We test the battery first (from $50, waived if the repair quote is over $100). BMS repair is $200, and battery repair or replacement is quoted after the test.
Why does my hoverboard beep and not move?
The beep is the board reporting a fault: often a sensor board, a motor hall sensor, a low or failing battery, or the main board. We read the fault and test the part it points to.
Is a hoverboard worth repairing?
Usually, when the fault is a charger, a port, a sensor board or a tire. If the pack has failed on a low-cost hoverboard, we will tell you plainly whether the repair makes sense before any work starts.
