Thanks everyone. I already know that the shaft does not move, the spacer also does not move and the axle nut is solid. I looked at these things too.
I wish I knew what caused both cycles to go bad here. I don't think it is behaviour. I do like to ride our highways and those fun curvey roads. Is weight an issue? I am under the manufacturers spec for max rider weight.
The scooters ran great for a year. Passed the first state safter inspections well. Something caused an uneven wear and load to somehow shift from side to side. I think when I would take higher speed curves it may have stressed the rim on the shaft from right curve to left curve and so on.
I will try these links for the rims. Thanks everyone! I love this board!

I am having the devil of a time finding two new rear rims for my two scooters. Roketa 2008 mc-54-250B the rims were not greased and in the steel shaft vs. aluminum rim - the rim lost. less than 2000 miles each. I take very good care of my vehicles. never knew the rim / shaft design until too late. I have about 1/2 inch travel left to right. Checked the motor mounts - look solid. even the shaft shows some wear. I have to replace the tires too. found a place to mount the tires for me. I have to supply the parts though. I have tried so many sites, either to be back-ordered and loose the order, or have the site hold my funds while waiting on the slow boat from China. Can you please point me to a good reputable dealer? Attachments:

Does any know where I can purchase parts for my two Roketa mc-54-250B scooters?
I saw roketa.com, but they do not even use secure socket protocol. I little nervous about buying on-line from a place like that.
thanks everybody
