I became an e-scooter owner in June (Segway Max G3) and have since had to teach myself how to do any and all repairs, which thankfully isn't that difficult, provided you're okay with researching and teaching yourself via YouTube and have the income to buy tools.

The closest advertised repair shop to me is 50+ miles away.

It's important to know, since many people are going the e-scooter route due to fuel costs that you may have to do all of the repairs yourself if you do.

Also, wear a full face helmet. Either motor cross or at least mountain biking one.

Very smart point. The Dept. of Transportation recommends a full helmet if you're going over 20mph, which is smart, as if you end up going over your handlebars unexpectedly it would be nice to still have a face.
