Most e-bike repairs at Wilson's start between $15 and $100, with parts and labor included: a flat tire from $40, brake repair from $25, a tune-up from $50 and motor repair from $100. Looking it over and telling you what we find is always free, and a full diagnosis is $30, waived if the repair comes to more than $100. Bigger jobs, like replacing a mid-drive motor, start from $300.
These are the published starting prices at every Wilson's shop, for any brand of e-bike, wherever you bought it. The final price depends on the model and the part, so every figure below is a "from" price. If you ride somewhere we don't have a shop, the list still works as a yardstick for what a fair quote looks like.
The most common e-bike repairs and what they cost
| Repair | From |

Wilson's starting prices, parts and labor included, the same at every shop. The final price depends on the model and the part.
Tire and wheel repair prices
Tires are the job we see most. E-bikes are heavier than pedal bicycles and carry more speed, so tires and tubes wear faster, and a rear hub motor makes even a flat more work than on a pedal bicycle.
| Repair | From |
|---|---|
| Flat tire repair (inner tube) | $40 |
| Tire and tube replacement (incl. wheel and bearing clean) | $65–$120 |
| Airless / no-flat tire install | $40 |
| Tubeless setup and sealant service | $30 |
| Rim replacement | $50 |
| Wheel truing and spoke replacement | $100 |
| Wheel and hub bearing replacement | $100 |
The tire and tube range runs from $65 to $120 because tire sizes vary so much: a 4-inch fat tire costs more than a 2-inch commuter tire. More on flats, tubes and airless tires in electric scooter and e-bike tire repair.
Brake repair prices
| Repair | From |
|---|---|
| Brake repair (pads, disc clean, clearance, bearing inspection) | $25 |
| Hydraulic brake bleed | $15 |
| Hydraulic brake fluid top-up (per addition) | $15 |
| Rotor replacement | $35 |
| Brake cutoff switch | $35 |
| Brake hose replacement and cleaning | $70 |
| Brake cable and lever replacement | $75 |
Which rows apply depends on the brakes your e-bike has. Hydraulic disc brakes get bleeds and fluid; mechanical disc brakes run on cables. The brake cutoff switch is the e-bike-only part: it cuts motor power the moment you pull a lever, and our technicians check it on every brake job.
Chain, gears and drivetrain prices
| Repair | From |
|---|---|
| Chain and drivetrain replacement | $45 |
| Derailleur and hanger alignment | $40 |
| Cassette, freewheel and chainring | $55 |
| Bottom bracket and crank service | $35 |
Motor power wears a chain and cassette faster than leg power alone, and a mid-drive motor pushes its full torque through the chain. That is why drivetrain parts come up more often on an e-bike than on a pedal bicycle. What we check when a chain skips, drops or won't shift is in e-bike chain, derailleur and drivetrain repair.
Motor, sensor and electrical repair prices
This is the half of e-bike repair a pedal bicycle shop often can't do. Our technicians test the electrical system with the right equipment before they quote a part.
| Repair | From |
|---|---|
| Motor repair (hub and mid-drive) | $100 |
| Mid-drive motor replacement | $300 |
| Hall sensor and phase wire repair | $100 |
| Motor disk adjustment | $35 |
| Pedal assist and torque sensor | $35 |
| Speed sensor and magnet | $35 |
| Controller replacement | $35 |
| Error code fix | $35 |
| Throttle repair | $50 |
| Dashboard and display repair | $100 |
| Wiring harness and connector repair | $35 |
| Ignition, key switch and power button | $35 |
| Headlight and taillight repair | $35 |
| Turn signal and brake light wiring | $35 |
An error code on the display is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Reading the code is part of the free inspection; fixing the fault behind it starts from $35. When assist cuts in and out, what we check first is the sensor, its magnet and the connectors, then the controller, and the motor itself last. The full symptom list is in e-bike pedal assist and torque sensor repair.
Battery and charging checks
| Service | From |
|---|---|
| Battery load test and health report | $50 |
| Range loss / won't hold charge | $50 |
| BMS (battery management system) diagnosis and replacement | $200 |
| Charging port repair | $35 |
| Charger replacement | $35 |
| Swollen or wet battery safety check | $70 |
Battery load, capacity and discharge testing is waived if the repair quote comes to more than $100. Short range has more than one cause, and the charger and the port are cheaper to fix than anything inside the pack, so we test them first. How far an e-bike should go is in how far can an e-bike go, and a dead e-bike is covered in won't turn on or won't charge.
If the battery is swollen, wet, smells, or gets hot, stop riding it and don't charge it: bring it straight in.
Frame, suspension and damage repair prices
| Repair | From |
|---|---|
| Suspension and fork service | $80 |
| Headset and steering wobble | $50 |
| Folding hinge and latch repair | $30 |
| Stem and handlebar clamp replacement | $20 |
| Water and salt damage | $50 |
| Crash damage repair | $30 |
| Pothole impact: frame and fork check | $30 |
| Kickstand replacement | $35 |
| Deck, fender and body panel replacement | $100 |
| Winter cleanup and storage prep | $30 |
What makes an e-bike repair cost more?
- The motor type. A hub motor sits in the wheel; a mid-drive motor sits at the cranks and works through the chain. Motor repair starts from $100 on either, but replacing a mid-drive unit starts from $300.
- The brakes. Hydraulic brakes stop better and need a bleed from time to time ($15); a cable and lever job on mechanical brakes starts from $75.
- The tires. Fat tire e-bikes need bigger, pricier tires and tubes, which is the top of the $65–$120 range. See the best fat tire electric bikes for what that tire size buys you.
- A throttle. Class 2 e-bikes and some Class 3 models have a throttle, which is one more part to fix (from $50).
- Brand-specific parts. Displays, controllers and sensors are often made for one brand, so the part decides the price; the labor is the same. Common brands, model by model, are in Aventon and Lectric e-bike repair and Rad Power Bikes repair.
- Water and crash damage. These start from $50 and $30, but what we find inside sets the final price, which is why the full diagnosis exists.
Is e-bike diagnosis free?
Looking it over is. A simple inspection, where a technician looks at the e-bike and tells you what they find, is free for any brand and any issue. Once the job needs the cover off or test equipment, like circuit testing or a battery load test, it becomes a full diagnosis at $30. If you go ahead with the repair and it comes to more than $100, the $30 comes off the bill, so you only pay it if you decide not to repair.
Whoever does your repair, ask the same three things before you agree: does the price include parts and labor, is there a diagnosis fee and is it waived if you go ahead, and is it a starting price or the final one.
What does it cost to keep an e-bike running?
A tune-up and safety check from $50 covers brakes, drivetrain adjustment, bolts and tire condition, and it is the cheapest way to catch worn pads or a stretched chain before they damage something dearer. If you put the e-bike away for the cold months, winter cleanup and storage prep is from $30. The prices for electric scooters are in our electric scooter repair cost guide.
