Recycling Scooter Batteries

Monster Scooter Parts encourages all of our customers who purchase replacement scooter batteries to RECYCLE their used sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries. While electric scooters are “green” vehicles in that they do not produce airborne exhaust gases that are harmful to the environment, they do carry an extremely toxic material onboard: LEAD, in the form of lead acid in scooter batteries.

Lead poisoning can cause a number of health problems, such as brain damage, kidney damage, hearing impairment, diarrhea, lethargy, and learning disabilities in children. These are very serious health concerns.

Many states have enacted legislation that requires recycling of lead acid batteries. Typically local and state governments provide a means of accepting used batteries, and that is where you should look first when trying to find a facility to recycle your used scooter batteries.

Additionally, many private retailers will accept your used scooter batteries as part of the Call2Recycle program. Additional information can be found at www.rbrc.com. Below is a partial list of national retailers where you can take your scooter battery for recycling:

Circuit City
Grainger
Home Depot
Lowe’s
Office Depot
Office Max
Radio Shack
Sam’s Club
Sears
Target
Wal-Mart

You can find additional information at www.earth911.org, including a nice recycling location search feature.

Please do the right thing and recycle those scooter batteries!

Minimoto Parts

We recently learned that Toy Quest has discontinued the Minimoto line of electric scooters and they have decided to no longer support these products with replacement parts. Minimoto has been referring many of their customers to us and we look forward to the opportunity to serve the needs of those customers now and in the future!

Unfortunately, some of the most popular Minimoto replacement parts are out of stock right now. However, we are working hard to get these parts back in stock as quickly as possible.

36 volt 3-prong battery chargers for all Minimoto 36 volt products will be back in stock by April 9, 2007!

We also hope to have Minimoto ATV/Dune Buggy 10x4-6 tires and Minimoto Maxii 4.00-6 tires back in stock by April 25, 2007. Unfortunately, we are still working on locating inner tubes for these tires. Hopefully we will get some soon! Tires and tubes for the Motocross XRF500 should be available around July 1, 2007.

Minimoto OEM 36 volt and 18 volt batteries are nearly impossible to find. However, we are working on developing fully-compatible plug-and-play battery packs comprised of three 12 volt batteries (36 volts) and three 6 volt batteries (18 volts) that will fit all Minimoto 18 volt and 36 volt products. We hope to have these battery packs completed and ready to sell by April 30, 2007.

We are also working on getting 18 volt 3-prong battery chargers for the Minimoto Sport Racer in stock soon. These may not become available until June 2007.

So please do not toss out your busted Minimoto product just yet! We will continue adding new Minimoto parts based on demand and we look forward to getting your scooters back up and running again soon! Please e-mail us if you have any questions.
