What is our warranty period?

All brand-new electric scooters and parts purchased from RoadRunner Scooters are covered under a limited 180-day warranty. RoadRunner Scooters will absorb all costs, including parts, shipping, and repair work, within the first 30 days from the date of purchase.  If the claim is made 30 days after the date of purchase, all shipping costs are transferred to the customer.  Please note: certain parts are not covered under the full 180 period. Please refer to the fourth section of this policy for a list of parts not covered for the full 180 days.  Should this situation occur, RoadRunner Scooters will provide guided tutorials via email, phone, or videos (many videos can be found here: DIY Videos) to assist the customer with the repair.

All certified refurbished electric scooters are under a limited 90-day warranty, in which all sales are FINAL & non-returnable/refundable.  RoadRunner Scooters will absorb all costs, including parts, shipping and repair work, within the first 30 days from the date of purchase.  If the claim is made 30 days after the date of purchase, all shipping costs are transferred to the customer.  Should this situation occur, RoadRunner Scooters will provide guided tutorials via email, phone, or videos (many videos can be found here: DIY Videos) to assist the customer with the repair.

There is an option to purchase an extended warranty to increase your manufacturer warranty by one, two, or three years; this is added consecutively to your manufacturer warranty.  You can extend your warranty anytime within the original 180-day limited warranty period.

All warranty periods offered through RoadRunner Scooters are NON-transferable after the product’s initial sale date; in other words, RoadRunner Scooters will extend our warranties only to the customer who originally purchased the product, and not to any subsequent owner or other transferee of the product.  Additionally, limited warranties by RoadRunner Scooters cannot be renewed.

What parts/repairs are covered under our warranty?

The following items are covered under our 6 Month/180-day limited warranty with certain restrictions:

A warranty claim can only be made for the parts above once during the warranty period.  No part will be replaced more than one time in within the 180-day period.  For instance, if a battery is replaced under warranty by RoadRunner Scooters, a second battery will only be replaced in that same warranty period at the cost of the customer.

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