Over the past year several electric scooter retailers that riders in Brisbane relied on have closed, relocated, or stopped operating retail stores. This has left many people searching online trying to figure out what happened and where they can now buy scooters, find spare parts, or get repairs.
If you were looking for stores like Scooter Hut, Scooterbros, iScoot, or Myscooter, this guide explains what changed and what options you have now.
Quick summary
- Several well known scooter retailers in Brisbane have closed stores or changed operations
- Some businesses moved online while others ceased trading entirely
- Riders still need local places for tyres, brakes, batteries, and repairs
Scooter Hut changes
Scooter Hut was one of the most visible scooter retailers in Australia for many years, with multiple physical stores around the country.
In 2025 the brand changed ownership, with the assets and brand acquired by a new company. Changes like this can sometimes lead to store closures, restructures, or different operating models.
For riders this can create confusion when searching for repairs, warranty support, or replacement parts, especially if the store they previously visited is no longer operating.
Scooterbros closure
Scooterbros announced in 2025 that the business would be closing. The owners explained that the decision was connected to retirement and the business stopped taking retail sales and repairs before the final closure.
This left many customers searching for alternative places to get tyres replaced, brakes serviced, or general scooter maintenance.
Myscooter availability
The name Myscooter has been used by more than one scooter related business over time. Some businesses using similar names have stopped operating or changed structure.
Because of this, customers sometimes struggle to identify which store they originally purchased from when they are searching for warranty support or servicing.
Common repairs electric scooter riders need

- Punctured tyres or worn inner tubes
- Brake pad replacement
- Battery or charging issues

If your scooter stops working, a professional inspection can often identify the problem quickly.
