Summary

edit

The two black plastic caps that covered the rear axle bolts on a reader's Gotrax electric scooter, removed and set on the concrete. Getting them off took security Torx bits the owner did not already own. For someone unwilling to buy a specialty bit set for a single tire change on a roughly $200 scooter, the cheaper path is to throw the scooter away, the outcome this hardware encourages.

Photograph supplied by the scooter's owner in an email to Louis Rossmann, June 2026. Firsthand, not independently verified.
