Warranty Claims 

If the Customer detects what is believed to be a mechanical fault, they must in the first instance follow the trouble shooting exercise set out in accordance with the Product Manual before contacting Lifestyle Mobility. The customer shall not return any of the goods without first following this process below and immediately contacting Lifestyle Mobility via the Warranty Repairs form to enable a written Returns Authorisation to be issued.

If your Lifestyle Mobility product needs repair and is covered under the Warranty Conditions, the customer will have to produce the Proof of Purchase document. The Warranty Repairs Form must be submitted. Please fill out the online form with all details, description, and photo or video evidence. All warranty claims have to be approved by Lifestyle Mobility management.

Warranty service must be performed by an authorised Lifestyle Mobility representative. We reserve the right to replace warranted parts with refurbished or new parts at our discretion. All service calls, call-out fees, pick up and transportation costs or any other charges associated with assessing mobility scooter issues are the responsibility of the purchaser. Warranty is for the replacement of the part only and does not include freight for replacement parts. Customers must not return any items to Lifestyle Mobility without written prior authorisation.

Once the product is returned to the showroom and assessed by Lifestyle Mobility’s technician and management as a warranty issue, Lifestyle Mobility will honour the warranty repair and cover the cost. Note that this will not occur where the fault is caused by driver misuse or accident.

Warranty claims are subject to the scooter having a full service completed approximately 12 months after the purchase date at a place authorised by Lifestyle Mobility. It is the owner’s responsibility to organize and pay for this service. If the service is not completed approximately 12 months after purchase, the warranty period may be void.

How The Warranty Applies

As the retailer, we warrant against possible manufacturing defects, provided the following conditions are satisfied:

  • The Warranty Repairs Form must be submitted for approval online.
  • Proof of purchase. The warranty starts on the date of purchase.
  • The claim can only be assessed by Lifestyle Mobility management.
  • 2 year’s warranty on the mobility scooter mechanics and major components only.
  • 6 month’s warranty on the battery, and only if capacity is under 5% of the original rating, or if it does not turn your scooter on at all. It is the customer’s responsibility to have the battery tested under load at a battery centre, authorised by Lifestyle Mobility and where written evidence of the load testing is provided to Lifestyle Mobility.
  • Batteries may be replaced once only during the initial warranty period following the sale of the scooter. Whilst it is usual for batteries and tyres to last considerably longer, the extent of battery use and tyre wear and tear is completely beyond the control of Lifestyle Mobility. In both cases, hours of use, the load the batteries are dealing with, distances travelled, and terrain all impact significantly on life of both batteries and tyres.
  • Lifestyle Mobility offers a 3-month warranty only on second-hand scooters, unless otherwise stated at point of sale.

How The Warranty Does Not Apply

Batteries do lose capacity over time, capacity loss will not be covered under warranty. If the battery pack is used incorrectly or tampered with, this will void your warranty. If you have not charged your battery regularly, if you have left your battery sitting unused for over a month, this is will void your warranty. If you have damaged your charger or battery by incorrect use, this will not be covered under warranty. We do not guarantee your scooter will be able to power up all hills, and the degree and duration of incline will not be covered under warranty.

Damage ascribed to normal wear and tear and maintenance is not covered under warranty. Wear and tear and maintenance of parts that are not covered under warranty include: tyres, tubes, plastic shrouds, motor brushes, bulbs, fuses, upholstery, armrest pads, general tightening all nuts, and batteries and chargers for second-hand scooters.
