KENT P Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I live in Orlando, Florida. Does anyone know where I can get the battery replaced locally on my Airwheel S5, and how much the replacement and labor might be? Thanks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrelwood Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 First, have you asked the seller if they sell parts or offer servicing? Finding an official Airwheel service center is probably going to be pretty much impossible. But I did see a few batteries for sale in EBay, for a horribly steep price though. But replacing the battery is probably not too difficult to do by yourself. Another option would be to search for a local e-bicycle battery service center. They should be able to replace the faulty battery cells, or even rebuild the battery completely with new cells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KENT P Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 I purchased my Airwheel from a private individual who got his airwheel from a dealer in California. I will check for an e-sale business in the area. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) edit: This post applies to the Airwheel EUC, which turns out was not the topic of this discussion - In all likelyhood, buying another (and better!) wheel will be cheaper. If a battery replacement is even possible. But who knows, maybe you will get lucky and it's not as bad as I think.

KENT P Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 Unfortunately that is not very encouraging for owners of Airwheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortionately there is nothing encouraging in beeing an airwheels euc owner. They are way too expensive with old, dangerous technology. There is no reason at all to invest anything in repairs! Edit: just saw that the S5 is no EUC - so i have no idea about it Edited November 28, 2021 by Chriull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KENT P Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 I wish I knew that Airwheels are not good... before investing in this model. Oh well so much for segways in my future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know anything about these products from airwheel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget everything bad we said about it, we thought it was the very old and crappy (nowadays) Airwheel-brand electric unicycle. Looks like the S5 has decent specs. It may very well be worthwile (financially) to get a replacement battery. I don't know, or where to get a battery other than to google where to buy one, though.
