LEGALITY:

Electric Scooters are considered as bicycles in most states. In California, folding electric scooters are allowed on BART.  Please click here to check Electric Scooter Legality in your state; this is wikipedia, so is not a legal document. Please check the legality in your area to ensure your safety and compliance.  Laws generally require riders be 16 and wear a helmet. Most public transportation systems allow electric scooters, but not gas, the same as "Bicycle Rules". Electric (not gas) scooters that can be folded, carried on and held in your lap or under your seat are usually allowed anytime. 

Electric Mopeds have removable pedals.  Click to read about Federal Electric Bicycle Law HR72  Please print this out and carry it with you when scooting.

Gas Scooters: No license or insurance required for 4-stroke gas or electric scooters under 30 mph, but riders on public streets must be at least 16 and must wear proper safety gear, (bicycle helmets and night lighting). Other restrictions as bicycles and "Rules of the Road" apply. Prohibited on roadways posted 35 mph and over without a bicycle lane. No age limit for off-road riding and under the same restrictions as bicycles (sidewalks, pedestrian and bicycle paths). Riders under 16 years old should always be under the supervision of an adult 18 years or older. Local regulations may apply. Most public transportation systems allow electric scooters, but not gas, the same as "Bicycle Rules". Electric (not gas) scooters that can be folded, carried on and held in your lap or under your seat are usually allowed anytime. California State Legislation; 2-stroke gas engines are banned on or off road, (air/noise pollution).

 

EXTENDED WARRANTIES:  We strongly recommend getting one if your scooter, moped, or ATV is going to see daily use. It is the nature of these fun toys that we go on and off road, over bumps, (remember we advise against jumps) and this product will get more use and abuse than a computer or other appliance. Especially with the electric ones, they are complicated and the warranty ensures you get free parts. You will need them at some point if it sees heavy use. Please got to the Extended Warranty page for more info. Only available for Xtreme Scooters.  These are available on the web pages for the eligible products too.

Often X-Treme will cover damage to the body parts if it is damaged during shipping & reported within 1 day of receiving the scooter. If you have a problem, just check with us to see if it's covered by opening a scooter support ticket.

After all this, if you are still extremely unhappy, you have two choices. Either choice requires you pay shipping back, and there is a 30% service fee applied by The Scooter Shoppe. 

1) The Fast Way: Open a ticket with the Manufacturer and tell them how you feel. Be polite.  They have the authority to send new parts or authorize other issues. We don't, we can't do anything but monitor and advise.  If you are polite with them you are more likely to succeed. I have seen unbelievable service by them, seriously. 

2) The Slow Way: Do a charge back on your credit card. This takes 90-120 days and requires you ship it back at your expense.  Credit Card companies don't like charge backs. They look at our Terms of Sale and Warranty.  They also want to see a record of the Support Ticket before they will do anything. Which kind of sends you back to the "Fast Way".  The amount of paperwork it takes to do a charge back is incredible, that is why we have a 30% service fee.  And seriously, it takes forever.
