We are not responsible for any errors regardless of the source, including but not limited to typing errors, misprint, omissions. We guarantee that you will receive a scooter that is the same as the picture shown to the exception of the color and a few minor details as manufacturers may change specifications from one shipment to the next.

If you are not satisfied with your purchase for any reason, you may return unused scooters (unused means that you have not assembled or used the scooter) in the original packaging within 3 days from the date you receive it.
