My GS160 flywheel is on its last breath magnetization-wise. Does anyone know who these days is/can re-magnetize flywheels? Thanks.

ScootersWest does them for $112.79+shipping both ways. I've had friends use their service with good results.

If You want to go another route, I have an original VSB flywheel with good magnets; I'll let go for a good deal. Holds a big wrench, so it should be nice n sparky sparky. I'm in Oregon, so if I ship Monday You should have it by Wednesday. PM me if interested.

If Jesse's fly wheel doesn't do it..
Scooterwest did my ET3 wheel and did a great job. It is well magnetized.
