Scooter Engine Rebuilds — Serving Riders Nationwide

Scooter engine rebuilds involve completely disassembling, inspecting, and restoring your motor to factory specifications — or better. At EPM Motorsports, we specialize in precision scooter engine restoration and overhaul services that bring back lost power, smooth operation, and lasting reliability.

Whether your scooter has low compression, oil consumption, or mechanical wear, our expert technicians diagnose and recondition every component with meticulous care. From Honda Ruckus and Yamaha Zuma to Vespa, Piaggio, and Kymco models, we service modern and classic scooters alike — ensuring performance that feels brand new.

Based in Chicago, Illinois, we proudly serve riders nationwide through our ship-to-rebuild program. Simply send your scooter engine to our facility, and we’ll take care of every step — teardown, machining, reassembly, and final testing — before shipping it back ready to ride.

At EPM Motorsports, we treat every engine we restore with precision, passion, and integrity. We always keep that in mind because reliability starts with what’s inside.

When to Consider a Scooter Engine Rebuild or Overhaul

If you’ve noticed any of the following symptoms, it’s time to consider engine reconditioning or repair:

  • Difficulty starting or uneven idle
  • Excessive smoke or oil use
