Work through tires and wheels, brakes, drivetrain, bearings, cockpit and bolts, then finish with the shop’s test-ride procedure. Mark an item OK, Adjusted or Needs part so the next action is visible.

Track e-bike and scooter repairsRecord wear numbers, not just ticks
Where the shop measures wear, write the actual result and the measuring method. Chain replacement depends on drivetrain design and manufacturer guidance; consult the current Park Tool chain-wear guidance and the component maker rather than treating one threshold as universal. Torque fasteners to the manufacturer’s specification.

Is this checklist a replacement for a mechanic’s inspection?
No. It is a recording aid. The mechanic remains responsible for the inspection, measurements and manufacturer procedures.
Can I add shop-specific checks?
Yes. Add the checks your team actually performs and keep safety-critical procedures in your controlled service documentation.
