GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. DEFINITIONS
In this Warranty Policy, we use the following definitions:

e-moped: an electric scooter which features and performances are published as indicators and may differ from actual performance and product specifications;

the manufacturer: the company that manufactures new e-mopeds, parts or accessories;

the warranty: a) the warranty given by the manufacturer, importer or seller on e-mopeds, parts and accessories; b) the warranty as published on the manufacturer’s website.

2. WARRANTY TERMS

  1. The Manufacturer’s warranty term for a new e-moped is 24 months, counting from the date of delivery. Decisive here is the date of the registration of the first owner.
  2. The warranty term for original Manufacturer parts is 12 months from the date of purchase. If a part is replaced within the warranty period of the e-moped, the original warranty period of the e-moped also remains applicable to this part. The original warranty period is therefore not extended or renewed by part replacement.
  3. For labor performed on your e-moped, a warranty period of 6 months applies.
  4. The battery pack has a warranty term of 12 months or 12,500 kilometers or 250 charging cycles (whichever comes first) except for damage to the battery pack that is not covered by the warranty provision.
  5. Frames are guaranteed for 24 months on construction and/or material defects. For (discoloration of) the paint on frame, forks and rims, a warranty of 6 months also applies.
  6. Electrical components, such as the drive, controller, sensors, charger, and speedometer, is 24 months.
  7. No warranty is given on parts that are subject to wear and tear, such as tires, bearings, cables, and brake pads, unless there are construction and / or material defects.
  8. For other parts, if properly maintained, also a warranty of 6 months applies. These parts and manner of maintenance are described in the user manual and / or service manual. In order not to give the occurrence of rust due to external influences a chance, it is necessary that you take care of maintenance for good. How you can best do that is described in the manual of your e-moped. With every service by Manufacturer, the status of your frame and its protection is checked. Any damage can therefore be noticed and repaired in time. Therefore, please adhere to Manufacturer’s advice to have maintenance carried out at least once every 12 months.
