Thanks for stopping by our very first repair video. Lots more on the way. Subscribe and let's fix!

[@xyzyyz]

Thank you again. Scooters are new to Canada and there isn’t a lot of info or scooters available yet. This will make my transition from car mechanic to Scooter tech much easier.

[@davidlittle9575]

This is exactly what our community needs. Once again we rely on the Alien to sow us the way. Thx for all you do!

[@AlienWorks]

Thank you! Too many people end up with broken scooters so if we can help just one person fix their ride in the future it will all be worth it. Lots of repair/modding videos in the works.

[@slidersgliders5516]

Awesome 👍. We need this. I'm ordering the screw extraction tool right now. Are you guys going to offer to work on PEV,s for people ? I think they would be good money in it. ✌️

[@AlienWorks]

@@slidersgliders5516 The tool is really helpful! We are going to be offering PEV repair services. More details around that soon :)

[@slidersgliders5516]

@@AlienWorks Kool deal 👍. Thanks

[@Gemini2Two]

Excited to see more episodes.

[@AlienWorks]

That’s! Hopefully we make a useful channel here.

[@HolybasilYT]

Yes! Fill my entire sub feed with PEVs! I love it!

[@AlienWorks]

I’ll try my best 😅

[@Ryon8oh1]

Congrats on the shop. I’m a small business owner in Utah (nothing to do with PEV’s) and I kno how much everything it takes to take the leap into being on your own and creating your future rather then reacting to what happens in life. That’s huge man. Life will NEVER be the same. 💵 😀

[@AlienWorks]

Thanks for that! Being a small business owner is definitely a huge leap, and hopefully we're able to stay afloat. Good luck with your business in these crazy times!

[@jobbersfootball42]

Great idea for a channel. Love that the Mantis is the first scooter to be featured!

[@AlienWorks]

Thanks! The mantis is a solid scooter, but we’re going to feature it a lot I think since so many people have them here (it’s inevitable that something goes wrong or needs to be replaced).

[@RCDevotee]

It is great to have a local shop if I ever need. Thanks for everything you do for the community.

[@AlienWorks]

Thanks Robert! Stop by sometime soon if you can.

[@xyzyyz]

Awesome. Thank you for another great channel. As a car mechanic I always fix my own scooter by trial and error. It will be a great thing to get the proper information first hand.

[@AlienWorks]

Thanks! I think a lot of this will be trial and error ourselves, but hopefully we can edit the video into looking like we know what we’re doing 😅 Eventually we’ll be smarter I guess.

[@VancouverExplore]

Congratulations on the shop

[@AlienWorks]

Thanks! More news coming about that soon!

[@alanhold2468]

Brilliant idea for a channel Alien Works🙏👊

[@AlienWorks]

Thanks! Looking forward to making some useful videos here hopefully.

[@stevens7409]

Awesome to see the channel growing! Off topic: any chance of getting a Wingmod deeper dive?

[@AlienWorks]

Yes, we can definitely do that!!

[@yogadude1234]

I’m looking forward to watching what you do here! I have been struggling trying to fix my first electrical problems by myself 😞

[@AlienWorks]

Thanks for stopping by! Many people are struggling, so hopefully we'll be able to help them with their issues. It will be a lot of learning for us too as we make these videos.

[@CAZruns]

PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON HOW TO FIX THE LCD THROTTLE DISPLAY ON THE MANTIS !!

[@AlienWorks]

We will actually be doing this video in the future! Thanks for the request.

[@miguelvitorio212]

Amazing iniciative👍

[@AlienWorks]

Thank you!

[@TheChazas]

Question is, how it got cut in the first place.

[@AlienWorks]

Yeah, hard to say, there is kind of a rats nest of wires in most of these scooters. It could’ve been rubbing up on a connector or something. Better wire management would be nice.

[@oussamamazouz7138]

Thanks for the video, I changed the Kaabo Mantis gt2 controller but I forgot how to connect it, please explain how to connect it again..Please.

[@davidyu470]

Awesome vid!! I was wondering if there is a way to use the led lights as signal lights?

[@AlienWorks]

It’s totally possible, but you would need to wire them yourself to a switch. Not an easy task, but doable. Will try to make a video on that in the future.

[@almodz_3335]

Hey love your video very informative do you guys know how I could remove the side deck lights I purchased a new pair thank you I would likento install the new ones

[@MrCubanchris1]

Mine, on the same side, dimmed and then failed completely. Cables not cut or trapped. Checked. They are solid. How do I fix/replace? Is there a video?

[@AlienWorks]

Ah that’s too bad. You may have to replace the entire strip. We haven’t done a video on that yet, maybe in the future. If there’s a local repair shop they may be able to help you.

[@JeanmarcsMusic]

hey alien rides i live in daly city and one of my electric unicycle stopped working after updating a firmware through the app...i was wondering if alien works can help fix that! thanks for great content

[@AlienWorks]

Hey, what kind of unicycle? We can probably fix it, but we might need to buy a new main board likely. Go ahead and shoot us an email over to [e-mail] and we can chat further about it.

[@fabioesteves2852]

Hello I also have one kaabo mantis and I wad happy with it until today … yesterday at night I noticed that the front motor was working a bit strange like sometimes was working sometimes not! I tried to take it out and take a look if something was lose or with bad conection and it was normal for my eyes ( I am not a professional ) I put everything together again and the front motor don’t work at all 😖 can you help me with that ?! Do you have any guess what it could be ?

[@AlienRides]

Most likely it’s the controller. Hope it’s under warranty so they can send you a new one.

[@esk8omg]

I have a problem with my kaabo 10 every time I press on the brake only sometimes it happens but when I let go of the break the scooter still thinks it's breaking so it doesn't move what could be causing that.

[@divajulieann]

What is the name of the stand that you repair the scooter on?

[@eddiekytia]

Hey guys!!! PLEASE TELL ME YOU CAN HELP ME!!! I cant find information anywhere. I own the kaabo wolf warrior and the brakelight/taillight has 4 wires... red,black,yellow,and green. Do you know what each is. I wanted to install a new taillight/brakelight but I thought there would be 3 wires 1 negative and 2 positive for each taillight and brake light. So I'm confused.... and it is 12v correct?...THANKS GUYS!

[@AlienWorks]

I don’t know off the top of my head unfortunately, you might need to find a wiring diagram, or someone who has dealt with this before. Maybe they will chime in. Good luck!

[@silver6701]

can you please review a scooter that look like the turbowheel swift but is from wish. I would love to see that. There $350 so its much cheaper but is it realy that bad?

[@AlienWorks]

I would love to review that one but not sure if they will send it to me. You always get what you pay for, so it won’t be great, but if it’s all you can afford maybe it’s fine to start with that. Good luck!

[@JRWilson242]

Can these be changed for RGB waterproof light strips? I hate how these aren't waterproof

[@onurakd9801]

I have also mantis 8 but i have light problem after 100km when i start give gas and run front light is start shining and also light button blue light is shining little what can be the problem can you help me there was no proble till 118km it happen in this morning

[@PSTRIPPLEE]

Can you show us how to fix a fuse on the mantis please My scooter is not charging and the charger is not faulty. is the fuse apparently on the scooter. How do i replace it can you show us thanks

[@AlienWorks]

We'll try to get to that one, but it might take a while. I think you can do it though, you should be able to take off the deck and find the two wires coming out of the battery. Often one of them will have a small box that the fuse is inside of. You should be able to open up the box and replace the fuse. Good luck!

[@PSTRIPPLEE]

@@AlienWorksSounds confusing, am litterally illiterate when it comes to these things. I would wait for the video i highly appreciate. So let me get this straight, i tried to charge my scooter, but the led indicates green light and doesn’t turn red. charger power is currently on 49%. it was faulty from the moment i unboxed. i been told is the fuse that needs replacement. but i am not sure how to do so. What do you reckon is the problem?

[@AlienWorks]

@@PSTRIPPLEE I’m actually not sure it’s the fuse, if it was it would be unlikely to run/ride. Does it ride ok? Seems like it could be a bad charger or bms... might be worth testing a new charger, and also testing your charger on another scooter. Sorry you have those problems, one of the reasons for this channel, But it will take some time to build up a library here.

[@PSTRIPPLEE]

@@AlienWorks The scooter turns on , runs perfectly, everything is perfect. i even speed tested it and i am getting 40mph. led working fine. brand new from the box. i haven’t taking it out yet but is fine. The charger adapter i purchased a multi meter, an i have tested the charger an i was getting 67.5v on the multi meter so definitely is not the charger. however went i connect the charger to the scooter an try to charge the scooter. it doesn’t charge so. i been told is the fuse thats faulty but i am not sure according to kaboo. hence why i am asking you

Please help, some screws on mine have stripped :( how can I remove them? I really need to remove them or else the scooter will just end up a write off if anything breaks inside :(

Stripped screws really suck! Your best bet is to take it to a professional, or get a kit like: amzn.to/2RqunE4
