Scope of Warranty
This warranty applies exclusively to electric scooters purchased through our official website (hitwayescooter.eu). If you purchased your e-scooter from a third-party provider or dealer, please contact that specific seller directly to claim customer service.
Regardless of the place of purchase, all HITWAY e-scooter owners may contact the HITWAY team at any time during the lifespan of their scooter for assistance with troubleshooting and technical support. However, the actual processing of service or warranty claims remains the responsibility of the original seller.
Shipping Area: The shipment of replacement parts under warranty is exclusively available within the European Union (EU).
Important Note: Electric scooters are not sold to persons under the age of 16. Minors may only use the e-scooter under the supervision of a parent or responsible adult and must wear appropriate protective equipment.
Warranty Period
Warranty for the Original Purchaser
HITWAY grants a 2-year warranty on every electric scooter, excluding wear and tear parts. The warranty period begins on the date the original purchaser receives the e-scooter.
Warranty for Subsequent Owners
Subsequent owners are also entitled to the 2-year warranty (excluding wear and tear parts), provided that the original proof of purchase is presented. The warranty period is based on the original delivery date to the first purchaser.

If you organize the transport yourself (e.g., via your own carrier or service provider), HITWAY assumes no responsibility for damages incurred during transit.
Warranty Process
HITWAY will not replace any parts under this limited warranty without first reviewing photos or videos of the damaged components. To exercise your right to replacement parts, please follow these steps:
- Contact Customer Service: Email our service team at contact@hitwayescooter.eu. Our team will first assist you with a diagnosis to see if a simple solution is possible.
- Decision on Replacement: If customer service determines a part must be replaced, you will receive the replacement part along with installation instructions.
- Installation Support: Our service team will support you during the installation of the new components.
- Local Repair Option: In certain cases, HITWAY may agree to have the e-scooter repaired at a local workshop. In such instances, parts of the repair costs may be reimbursed.
Theft: Product theft is not covered by the warranty. We recommend recording your frame number and serial number upon receipt and considering appropriate insurance.
