Our mission
Help fix electric mobility devices and reduce e-waste.
E-bikes, scooters, Onewheels and electric unicycles are some of the best ways to get around a city. They're also hard to get fixed. A lot of bike shops will do brakes and tires but turn away anything electrical, and a rider with a dead controller or a battery that won't charge is often told to buy a new one.
We think most of those rides can be saved. Pedalwise exists to get them fixed, keep them on the road longer, and keep good batteries, motors and frames out of the trash.
What we do
- Repair shops across the US. A directory of independent shops that work on electric rides, with rider reviews that focus on electrical work. Find one by city or brand
- A free repair wiki. Riders and techs write up what you can check yourself, what to leave to a pro, and where the official manuals are. Anyone can contribute. Open the wiki
Why repair matters
A lithium-ion battery is the most valuable part of an electric ride and the hardest to throw away safely. Often the fault is somewhere cheaper: a charger, a loose plug, a worn connector or a single sensor. Finding that is the difference between a repair and a replacement.
When something truly can't be saved, it should be recycled properly. Batteries never go in the household trash. Find an e-bike battery drop-off.
