About 30 hours, self-paced, designed to pair with hands-on guidance in a shop. Start with no experience and finish able to diagnose and repair the personal electric vehicles a shop actually sees — e-bikes, kick scooters, e-mopeds and electric motorcycles — along with the manual bikes that come through every community program. One trade, one set of principles, whatever micromobility rolls in next. Read it on your schedule; the bench work happens when you are ready for it.
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.
Start with the free guide: how to fix an e-bike — the first checks that actually work. No assist, cutting out over bumps, a dead display, an error code, weak brakes — answered properly, not teased.
Electric drivetrains are simpler than they look: a battery, a controller, a motor, and wires between them. There is no cohort to keep up with and no seven-week clock running against you. You read a module when you have time, take its knowledge test when you feel ready, and put the skills into your hands with someone experienced beside you. Most people finish in about 30 hours of real effort. Taking longer is not falling behind — it means you are building something that will hold.
Plain language, real examples, no assumed background. Roughly 13 hours across seven modules, in whatever sittings suit you.
Each module ends in a knowledge test that grades instantly and explains every answer — so you always know exactly where you stand.
About 18 hours on real electric vehicles with guidance. Reading teaches you what to look for; the bench is where it becomes yours.
You do not need a shop to sponsor you, a background in electronics, or anything beyond ordinary high-school math and science. Everything electrical is taught from the ground up. Curiosity and a willingness to work carefully are the real prerequisites — and they are ones you can choose.
Electric mobility is a growing trade with a genuine shortage of people who can diagnose rather than guess. Take this on your own, for yourself, and walk into a shop already able to do the work.
One standard for what a technician knows before they are trusted with a customer's vehicle, and a clear record of who has passed what. Seats for the people you hire, or an annual with no limit.
Train your shop team · What an apprentice can do after each module
The skills to service donated and discontinued vehicles where no manual, no parts list and no schematic exist — 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. They are the start of a library, not the end of one. A searchable repair wiki — specialty fixes, model-specific faults, the things you look up rather than learn once — is being built to sit alongside this as its own membership, for technicians who are already certified and working.
