Electric Scooter Repair in San Francisco
San Francisco might be the toughest city in America on an electric scooter. Grades that top 20% cook brake pads and rotors, Muni and streetcar tracks eat tires, potholes on Folsom and Mission hammer stems and bearings, and the marine layer works moisture into every connector on your ride. That's why the most common repairs at our SoMa shop are worn brakes, flat tires, corroded wiring, and no-power faults after a foggy week outside.
Wilson's San Francisco sits at 360 11th St in SoMa — the former fluidfreeride SF workshop, now run and operated by Wilson's. Riders come to us from the Mission, Hayes Valley, the Castro, Potrero Hill, Dogpatch, the Richmond and Sunset, and across the bridges from Oakland and Berkeley, because we're one of the only Bay Area shops that keeps parts in stock for performance brands like Apollo, Dualtron, Kaabo, Nami, and Teverun — not just entry-level commuters.
Every repair starts with a diagnosis, and if your scooter is throwing an error code, that diagnosis is free. Our technicians handle everything from a 15-minute brake adjustment to controller replacement, motor rebuilds, and post-crash custom fabrication — like the custom stem brackets Martin's bench has become known for.
Fog, Rain & Water Damage Repair
Karl the Fog is not your scooter's friend. Salt-heavy marine air and winter rain seep into throttle connectors, display ribbons, controllers, and charge ports — and the corrosion shows up weeks later as ghost error codes, throttle dropouts, or a ride that simply won't wake up. It's the single most San Francisco repair we do.
Our water-damage service opens the affected systems, cleans and treats the corrosion, replaces components that are past saving, and reseals connectors so the fog has a harder time next season. If your ride lives outside in the Richmond, the Sunset, or anywhere the marine layer parks overnight, ask us about preventive sealing during any repair — it's the cheapest insurance in this city.
Electric Bike Repair in San Francisco
E-bikes are how San Francisco actually moves — commuters climbing to Twin Peaks, delivery riders threading Valencia Street, and weekend riders crossing the Golden Gate. Our e-bike repair service covers every class and style: commuter e-bikes, fat-tire bikes, folding frames, cargo bikes, and high-powered e-motorbikes. We service hub motors and mid-drives, tune derailleurs and hydraulic brakes, replace batteries and displays, and diagnose the wiring and controller faults that leave a bike dead on the charger.
SF's hills put unique strain on mid-drive motors and brakes — heat, torque, and constant regen cycling wear parts faster than flat-city riding. For delivery riders, downtime is lost income, which is exactly why we built our express repair program: flats fixed in about 20 minutes, brakes in about 15, and same-day turnaround on most jobs because the parts are already on our shelves. If you ride for work, tell us when you book and we'll prioritize getting you back on the road.
Electric Scooter & E-Bike Battery Service
If your range has dropped, charging takes longer than it used to, or your ride cuts out halfway up a hill, your battery or BMS is the likely culprit — and SF's climbs expose weak packs faster than anywhere else. We load-test packs in-shop at 360 11th St, repair what's repairable, and only install certified, brand-appropriate replacement batteries — never generic packs that compromise safety. Learn more on our electric scooter battery replacement page.
Why Parts In Stock Matters
Most repair shops in the Bay Area order parts after they diagnose your ride — which means a one-hour fix becomes a two-week wait. Wilson's is also one of the country's largest e-mobility retailers, so our SF repair bench sits next to a full parts inventory: tires and tubes in every common size, brake pads and rotors, throttles, displays, controllers, chargers, and certified batteries for the brands San Franciscans actually ride — including the Apollo, Dualtron, and EMOVE models this shop sold in its fluidfreeride days. That inventory is the reason most of our repairs finish the same day you walk in — and it's backed by our 3-year warranty program on rides purchased from Wilson's.
