Tyre Valve Stem Keeps Snapping Off
"The valve stem on my Urban Mantis 2025 e scooter has snapped off twice due to poor design — it’s simply too long. The first failure happened just days after purchase, with less than 30 km on the scooter. The second occurred about a month later, at under 280 km total. Despite the scooter being under a 12 month warranty and having travelled less than 1,000 km, I was charged for the second repair. There was also a separate issue with scraping on the rear wheel that required attention. This valve issue is a serious safety concern. My son has been stranded twice as a result. We requested a credit or refund, but Scooter Hut has not been forthcoming. My son saved his birthday and Christmas money for years to buy locally, believing we’d be protected by better warranty support. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case — Amazon would have offered a better return policy. Scooter Hut may be good at producing flashy, social media friendly ads, but when real issues arise, customer support is disappointing. I won’t be shopping here again. Go somewhere else."
