Stem wobble on electric scooters can come from various factors, including wear and tear, improper assembly, or even manufacturing defects.

Tip: If you spot any cracks or significant damage, it is recommended to replace the stem entirely. At VoroMotors, we understand the importance of hassle-free maintenance and offer reliable repair and servicing options to alleviate any concerns you may have.
Now, referring to the video tutorial provided above, let's explore the potential scenarios you might encounter and learn how to effectively resolve the issue.
In this section, we’ve provided two sets of instructions for improving stability of your stem: to stop light stem wobble and to fix severe stem wobble.
Keep in mind that this repair is a process of trial and error, and will require you to test the stem’s stability and check for noise to remedy the problem areas. If you have a hydraulic lift table, it is helpful for electric scooter maintenance like this but not required. For both repairs, you can use the following tools.
Again, it’s important while making these adjustments to stop periodically and check how the stem feels. Rock the scooter's stem back and forth to determine if it still has any looseness and adjust accordingly. If you cannot tighten it or notice signs of wear, you may want to replace your stem, folding mechanism, or connecting components to improve your scooter’s performance.
Dualtron recommends periodic replacement of scooter parts based on usage. Refer to the following chart for general lifespans of various components:
Remember, these are general guidelines. Actual lifespan will vary based on individual usage and riding conditions.
