                                  How does our warranty policy change for customers in the lower 48 contiguous states versus customers in HI, AK, or international customers (Canada, South and Central Americas)?

                                  What happens when you are outside your warranty and need assistance with your purchase?

                                  All parts, repairs, and shipping costs necessary to resolve a non-warranty related issue will be absorbed by the customer.
                                  If you need a repair or if parts are not covered by your warranty, please let us know, and we will try our best to help - usually we can diagnose the problem and send you a replacement part for a fee. If your scooter needs to be returned for repair, our goal is to work with you to lessen the costs and efforts you will incur to you benefit.
                                  Keeping with this promise, please be aware that every customer that is no longer under warranty will receive a 25% discount off any motor, speed control, or batteries purchases.  This discount does not expire.  It is our way of showing our appreciation for you choosing RoadRunner Scooters.  #RideOn!!
