About 13 hours of reading and 15-20 hours of bench work at your own pace, paired with hands-on time in a shop. Start with no experience and learn to diagnose and repair the electric vehicles shops see every day: e-bikes, kick scooters, e-mopeds and electric motorcycles, plus the manual bikes that come through every community program. The same principles carry over to whatever rolls in next.
Start with the fundamentals: how the battery, controller and motor work together, taught from zero.
Seven modules, a knowledge test after each one, and bench time with someone experienced.
One standard for what your technicians know, and a record of who has passed what.
Parents can take the class with their kids, and groups can sponsor learners 13 to 15.
The free guide covers no assist, cutting out over bumps, a dead display, error codes and weak brakes.
I've been looking for a training program like this for years! Usually my techs get a piece of knowledge from me on whatever we are working on, but this system had them going on their own in a few weeks instead of months.
Electric drivetrains are simpler than they look: a battery, a controller, a motor, and the wires between them. You read a module when you have time, take its knowledge test when you're ready, and practice the skills with someone experienced beside you or on your own. Most people finish in about 13 hours of reading and 15-20 hours of bench work, well inside the 45 days enrollment gives you.
Plain language and real examples, with no background assumed. Roughly 13 hours across seven modules, in whatever sittings suit you.
Each module ends in a knowledge test that shows you what you got right as soon as you send it, so you know where you stand.
About 18 hours on real electric vehicles with guidance. The reading tells you what to look for, and the bench is where you learn to do it.
If you're 16 or older you can sign up on your own. You don't need a background in electronics, just ordinary high-school math and science, because everything electrical is taught from the ground up. Curiosity and careful hands matter most.
Electric mobility is a growing trade, and shops are short of people who can find a fault by measuring it. Take the course on your own and walk into a shop already able to do the work.
Parents can enroll their kids and take the class with them. Schools, scout troops and YMCAs can sponsor a group. Learners 13 to 15 join through a parent or a youth group.
One standard for what a technician knows before they work on a customer's vehicle, and a record of who has passed what. Buy seats for the people you hire, or an annual plan with no limit.
Train your shop team · What an apprentice can do after each module
Donated and discontinued vehicles often arrive with no manual, parts list or schematic. This course teaches the skills to service them anyway, and that's some of the most valuable work in the trade.
These seven modules are the grounding: the electrical and mechanical knowledge every other repair sits on top of. Pass, and you keep the course along with a searchable repair wiki of specialty fixes and model-specific faults. The wiki keeps growing after you've finished.
Start with the free guide, how to fix an e-bike. It covers no assist, cutting out over bumps, a dead display, error codes and weak brakes, with the first check for each.
