Refurbished scooters: why it's the good deal that everyone still doesn't know about

Buying a new electric scooter can quickly add up to a hefty price tag: €600, €900, sometimes more than €1,200. What if you could get the same model, tested, guaranteed, and up to 50% cheaper ? That's the promise of refurbished scooters , a booming market—and FixWheel is one of the pioneers in France.

But behind this trend, one question remains: is it really a good deal? Spoiler: yes, if you know where to buy.

1. What exactly is a reconditioned scooter?

A refurbished scooter is not a used scooter . At FixWheel, each model goes through a rigorous refurbishment process :

• Control of more than 20 mechanical and electronic points
• Replacement of wear parts (tires, brakes, battery if necessary)
• Cleaning, testing, and resale with 12-month warranty

👉 Result: a reliable, tested and ready-to-ride scooter.

2. The real advantage: the price… without compromising on safety

A new Xiaomi Pro 2 can cost nearly €700 , compared to around €400 for a refurbished one . But the savings don't stop there:

• The batteries are tested, so no nasty surprises
• Scooters are often delivered faster than a new model.
• And you can pay in 3 installments with Alma , which makes investing even more accessible.

It is therefore an economical, ecological and intelligent solution.

3. Refurbished goods, a real gesture for the planet

Each refurbished scooter is:

• Up to 30 kg of CO₂ avoided
• Less electronic waste
• And a second life given to a perfectly functional product

Buying refurbished is smart consuming —without sacrificing performance.

4. How to choose the right reconditioned scooter?

Here are the 3 key criteria:

1. Autonomy → depending on your use (daily journeys, long distances, etc.)
2. The brand → Xiaomi for reliability, Dualtron for power, Teverun for comfort
3. The grade →
   • A+ : like new
   • A : excellent condition
   • B : minor cosmetic defects, 100% functional

💡 FixWheel Tip: Use the “Autonomy” and “Usage” filters in the Refurbished Scooters category to find your ideal model.

5. Why buy from FixWheel rather than elsewhere?

Because FixWheel doesn’t do “rough” refurbishments. Each model is:

• Serviced by an authorized technician
• 12 month warranty
• Shipped within 48 hours
• And comes with dedicated customer support in France

It is this requirement that makes FixWheel the number 1 choice for stress-free riding .

Conclusion

Refurbished isn't a fad: it's the future of responsible mobility . And FixWheel is proof of that: reliable, cheaper, and better for the planet.

So before spending €900 on something new, ask yourself the right question: What if your next scooter was a reconditioned FixWheel?
