DOA (Dead on arrival) items
If the product has arrived broken, please contact us within 7 days from the day you received it and then follow the 7 Days Product Guarantee.
About unsatisfactory products
If you are not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 14 days from its delivery date to receive a refund of your purchase minus the shipping fees or an exchange. You will have to pay the shipping fees both ways if the reason is not related to our mistake. Please ensure to return the item with its original packaging and in the same conditions in which you received it.
Local maintenance
Normally the unit would not be defective as a whole but parts of it may wear out. Proper maintenance is essential to get the most out of your unit. Due to the high return shipping fees, we strongly suggest you change or repair the inner parts of the unit by yourself under our professional guidance. In this situation, we request you to open the shell to take some photos or video to determine the problem, which will not affect the warranty in this case. If there is a motorbike repair shop in your country, you can also request a quotation and inform us before fixing the item. We will be in charge of the repair fee only if its cost is not more than 20% of the price of the product and is below in total.
Kugoo Warranty
These types of products cannot be returned due to their heavy weight and high shipping fees. We will offer parts replacement, technical support or repair if there were any faulty components.
