What is your pre order process?

Once the shipment leaves its home port, it will travel by sea to our shipping port. It will undergo a customs examination before transportation to our warehouse.

Our in-house fulfillment team performs a quality inspection on each vehicle before it is shipped to you. Rest assured, we'll keep you updated, so check your emails!

Is there a pre order cancellation fee?

We'd hate to see you go! At this pre-order stage, there will be a cancellation fee of 3%. If you would like to proceed, simply contact our team here.

Note: The cancellation fee is waived if the product is delayed 30 days after the latest stated delivery time.

How long does it take to recieve my vehicle?

Shipping can take up to 5 business days.

Rural shipping could take up to 8 business days.

Due to global supply chain challenges, shipping times could be longer than usual.

RETURNS & EXCHANGES

Do you offer refunds?

Yes, we offer full and partial refunds.
Please check our Return Policy to see if you're eligible for a refund.

Is my vehicle eligible for a refund?

Unfortunately, we cannot offer refunds or exchanges on the following:

1. Items that have customized add-ons to the product that require installation at the customer's request before delivery.

2. Items that have personal modifications to the product by the customer after delivery. 

3. Items that have been used.

4. Parts that are installed on electric vehicles or used on electric vehicles that are not originally purchased from SumoScooters.


Please check our Return Policy to see if you're eligible for a refund.

How long does it take to return an item?

This depends on the carrier or shipping method that you choose when returning your item. Once we receive your return, we’ll notify you by email. We aim to process refunds within three days after receiving the item into our warehouse, but it can take several days for your bank or credit card provider to process the refund into your account, or onto your card.

BATTERY & CHARGING

How can I charge my scooter?

After riding, bring your electric scooter indoors to allow the battery to aclimatize. The battery voltage reading is generally more accurate at room temperature.

 

Do not insert anything else than the charger into the scooter charging port.

Is it possible to remove the battery?

Removing the battery should only be handled by an electrical professional.

The CORSA is the only scooter with a removable / swappable battery feature.

What about battery when riding during the winter?

With some preperation, you can brave the cold!

Always plan your routes before heading out and choose paths tha are well maintained.

Wear bright or reflective clothing to stay visible. Alert others by turning on your scooter lights and ringing the bell.

Road salt helps prevent slippery accidents but also ruins metal on scooter wheels. Always clean off water and road salt after each ride.

It’s normal to experience a decrease in range and reduced power on a full charge. The optimal temperature for lithium ion batteries is close to 25 degree celsius. A battery at 25℃ offering 100% will typically only deliver 65% at 0 ℃. 

Where can I keep the battery stored during the winter?

Don't let your scooter battery run flat! Keep at least 20% charge at all times.

For optimum performance don’t leave your vehicle out in the cold. You can store and change the vehicle inside at room temperature. We recommend maintaining your battery charge at between 50% - 80%.

GENERAL

What does IP54 mean?

The electric scooter is sealed against dust and resistant to rare light water splashes.

We don't recommend riding in wet conditions since the scooter is not waterproof.

How do I clean the scooter?

Do not hose your scooter with water!

Wipe your electric scooter with a microfibre towel. Clean the water and road salt off your scooter after each ride to prevent rusting on metal parts.

What safety gear do I need?

Protect your noggin! Always wear a helmet.

Are the scooters waterproof?

SumoScooters cannot be submerged in water. All vehicles are water resistant and will tolerate rare light water splashes.

 

To prevent liquid damage, avoid these:

  • Riding your electric scooter in the rain or very wet conditions.
  • Exposing your electric scooter to pressurized water or high-velocity water, such as using a hose to clean your electric scooter.
  • Intentionally submerging your electric scooter in water, such as riding in puddles. 
  • Dropping your electric scooter or subjecting it to other impacts.

 

Electric scooters with and without IP ratings should be treated the same.

 

Liquid damage is not covered under warranty. Weather resistance might decrease as a result of normal wear.

Is the scooter street legal in my country?

Always check your province or state's law that govern the use of personal mobility devices. It's safe practice to not ride on sidewalks and stick primarily to bikelanes.
