14 daysto return
You have 14 days from delivery to start a return on an unused electric scooter or electric bike in its original packaging, and if you would rather have a different model, say so when you get in touch and we will look at an exchange with you. If anything arrives damaged or will not power up, tell us as soon as it arrives and we will take it from there.
Let us check together.
Four quick questions and you will know where things stand before you pack anything or pick up the phone.
Get an RMA number from us before you send it so we can match it to your order the moment it arrives, and keep everything in its original packaging until then.
This is a guide rather than a decision, and it is here to save you time. Whatever it says, you are always welcome to get in touch — if you are near a cut-off or something about your situation is unusual, we would much rather hear from you than have you assume the answer.
Two things worth knowing.
Condition
- Still unused, in the condition it arrived inWith its packaging, accessories and paperwork. Please do unbox it, check it over and make sure it is the right fit — that is exactly what the window is for.
- Once it has been ridden, a return is outWe can no longer put it back out as new. A real manufacturing fault is a different matter and stays covered by the warranty for months afterwards.
Timing
- 14 days from delivery to get in touchThat is the window to start a return. The item itself does not have to be back with us inside 14 days — just your message.
- Damage or a dead battery: tell us straight awayIdeally as soon as the box arrives, before you unpack it. A carrier claim turns on the state of the outer box, and that evidence is gone once the box is flattened.
What we can and cannot take back.
It nearly always comes down to one question: can this go back out as new? That is what separates the two lists below, and it is why unboxing and checking something over is always fine.
We can take these back
- Unused electric scooters and electric bikesUnridden and in original condition, with the packaging and accessories, inside 14 days.
- Unopened accessoriesStill sealed in the original packaging, inside 14 days.
- Damaged in transitReported as soon as it arrives, with photographs of the outer box.
- Confirmed manufacturing defectsTold to us as soon as you spot it, with photos or video. A fault found later is a warranty matter, and cover runs for months.
- Wrong item shippedOur error — wrong model, wrong colour, wrong order.
- Misrepresented itemsWhere what arrived does not match how it was described.
These we cannot
- Anything that has been riddenOnce there is mileage on it we cannot resell it as new — but a real fault is covered by the warranty.
- Visible wear or part assemblyMarks, scratches, or assembly taken further than a normal check over.
- Opened helmets and protective gearA hygiene rule most retailers share. Still sealed is absolutely fine.
- Opened accessoriesCables, grips, lights and the like, once out of the sealed packaging.
- Anything past the 14 daysCounted from delivery. A manufacturing fault is still covered by the warranty.
- Accidental damage and modificationsKnocks, spills and anything changed from how it left the factory.
- Replacement partsParts ordered on their own are not returnable. Anything faulty or sent in error is still ours to put right.
Tell us as soon as it arrives.
Shipping damage is rare, but when it happens the carrier claim depends on evidence collected early — so tell us as soon as the box arrives, before you unpack it if you can.
Before you open anything, take a few photographs of the outer box from each side. Crush marks, punctures and tears are what a carrier claim turns on, and once the box is flattened that evidence is gone.
A single continuous video from sealed box to finished assembly settles almost any question about when the damage happened. It is the most useful two minutes you can spend.
Take the delivery and photograph it rather than refusing it. Refusing a delivery without speaking to us first is treated as a return — if there is visible damage, call or text us before you turn it away.
Email the photographs, the video if you took one, and your order number to info@speedwayridersnyc.com, or text (240) 916-2471. We will raise the carrier claim from there.
If a delivery needs a signature and the box already looks damaged, write "received damaged" on the delivery slip before you sign. It is the strongest thing you can do to protect the claim.
Four easy steps.
The only thing we ask is that you get an RMA number from us before sending anything — it is how we match your parcel to your order the moment it lands, which keeps your refund moving.

Get in touch inside 14 days
Email info@speedwayridersnyc.com or text (240) 916-2471 with your order number and what you would like to do. The 14 days run from the day it was delivered.

We send your RMA number
You will get an RMA number and the return address back from us. Hold off sending anything until you have it — a parcel with no RMA number cannot be matched to an order.

Pack it back up
Original box, accessories and paperwork, packed as it arrived. This one is really for your benefit — a well-packed return arrives in the condition it left in, which keeps everything simple.

How refunds work.
Refunds go back the way they came, once the return has arrived and been checked over.
Whatever you paid with is where it goes back — the same card, or through the financing provider you used.
We issue it after your return has arrived and been checked, not on the day you posted it. How quickly it then shows up is down to your bank or card issuer rather than to us.
You do not have to keep checking. When the refund is issued you get a message from us saying so, and what it was issued against.
The refund goes back through Affirm, Klarna or Afterpay and comes off your balance with them, and the plan is adjusted or cancelled — you do not keep paying for something you sent back.
Sending back one item out of several is fine. The rest of the order stays as it is and only the returned item is refunded.
Split payments, a gift, a card that has since been closed — tell us and we will work out the cleanest way to get you your money.
Swapping is easy.
Exchanges run on the same 14-day window and the same condition as a return. If you would rather have a different model, tell us when you get in touch and we will look at it with you.
Nothing to settle either way. Once we have checked the original over, the replacement ships.
We send an invoice for the price difference before the new machine ships, so nothing is charged without you seeing it first.
The price difference goes back to your original payment method, the same way a refund does.
Prices are whatever the two models are listed at when the swap is arranged. An exchange runs on the same condition rules as a return: the original has to come back unused and complete.
What goes in the box.
Tick these off as you pack. A complete, well-packed return is the difference between a refund that goes straight through and one that needs a conversation.
Work down the list as you pack. Nothing here is sent anywhere — it is just for you.
We send the number and the return address together, and a parcel without one cannot be matched to an order.
Start my returnReturn, or warranty claim.
They are two different routes and people mix them up all the time. Mostly it comes down to timing and condition.
If you are inside 14 days and it has not been ridden, a return is usually the simpler path. Past that, or once it has been ridden, a warranty claim is the one — and it runs for months, so it is always worth asking.

Send us your order number and let us know what you would like to do, and we will take it from there. If something arrived damaged, photographs of the outer box taken before you opened it are a big help.
