Customer Service / Dealer Support
The importance and value of earnest, timely and expert customer service by a reputable dealer should never be underestimated. Electric Vehicle Mall has earned a reputation with both its customers and with product manufacturers for outstanding customer service. We answer or return your call the same day, provide our own expert support and ensure that you receive the highest level of support from the product manufacturer. We immediately go to bat for you if you ever run into any difficulty with obtaining what you need from the manufacturer, be it warranty support or simply getting an answer to a technical question. We follow-up to ensure that warranty parts are shipped to you in an expedited manner. You are in the safest of hands when you purchase a product from Electric Vehicle Mall.
You can also phone us toll free at 1-877-241-2817 or email to service@ElectricVehicleMall.com. Our local phone number is 1-727-230-2324. Or you can send a fax to 1-727-230-0248. It is our policy to respond to all emails, phone calls and fax the same day (usually within 30 minutes!) during normal business hours but ALWAYS within 24 hours. Our hours are 10:00am to 6:00pm EST Monday through Friday, and from 11am to 2pm EST on Saturday. We are closed on Sunday.
This ElectricVehicleMall.com website is owned and operated by ELECTRIC VEHICLE MALL, a family owned business.
Forms of Payment
We accept all major credit cards: VISA, MasterCard, Discover and American Express.
You can also use your VISA or MasterCard DEBIT card. Please know that bank debit cards frequently have a charge limit, typically $1,000. If your purchase is greater than your limit (call your bank to find out), simply have your bank increase the limit to the amount you need for the next 24 hours. Tell your bank that the merchant name on the charge will be Electric Vehicle Mall.
For your convenience, we also accept PayPal.
And we accept Postal Money Orders, available at any US Post Office. You can select "money order" as your choice of payment in the shopping cart. You will be given this option after you have filled out your shipping and billing addresses. Then complete your purchase in the shopping cart as normal. The final screen will give you instructions on where to mail your Postal Money Order.
Alternatively, you can call us at 877-241-2817 to make your order over the phone and we will provide mailing instructions for your Postal Money Order.
Note: We do NOT accept personal checks, electronic checks, cashiers checks, bank checks or any other form of money order other than Postal Money Orders. The reason is simply that there is too much fraud with these other forms of payment.
We love referrals! The very best advertising is word-of-mouth. When you tell your friends or others about Electric Vehicle Mall, you can earn money! Customers who have purchased from Electric Vehicle Mall are eligible to receive generous referral fees. Call or email us to have business cards mailed to you for free that you can hand out to your friends and associates. Just carry these with you when you ride your bike or scooter and hand them out to people who admire your bike or scooter. There's even a space on the back where you can write your name so that they are are sure to mention it when ordering.
For every sale over $2,200 which a previous customer refers, a referral fee of $50 will be paid. For every sale over $1,400 which a previous customer refers, a referral fee of $25 will be paid. For every sale over $800 which a previous customer refers, a referral fee of $20 will be paid. For every sale over $400 which a previous customer refers, a referral fee of $15 will be paid. Referral fees will be paid between 30 and 45 days after the purchase is made. All your referee needs to do is mention your name when they are making their purchase. We will take care of the rest!
Exclusions: Only previous customers are eligible for referral fees. Referral fees do not apply to purchases by the previous customer or which are shipped to the previous customer's address. Referral fees are not applicable for purchasers who subsequently request a refund. This is a limited time offer subject to cancellation without notice by Electric Vehicle Mall.
Sales tax is charged at time of sale only on same-state purchases. EXCEPTION: Sales of Mobilty Scooters in Florida are fully exempt from state sales tax! Sales of all electric bikes, electric tricycles, stand-up scooters and pocket bikes are billed by ELECTRIC VEHICLE MALL in Florida and subject to sales tax at time of sale for Florida residents. Also, since X-Treme Scooters operates and ships products from warehouses in Washington and Iowa state, the sale of any X-Treme product which is shipped to a Washington state address is subject to Washington or Iowa state sales tax, respectively. The amount of any applicable sales tax will be shown in the shopping cart.
Before completing your purchase, please confirm that you have selected the correct item(s), color(s), accessories, etc.
You may cancel your order providing that your order has not yet reached our shipping department. Please be aware that after placing your order with a credit card, we will already have paid money and spent time to process your order. Accordingly, there will be a 7% processing fee for an order cancellation. Call us at 727-230-2324 or send an email to sales@electricvehiclemall.com with the word "cancel order" in the subject line.
Also, due to the high volume of orders we receive and the speed at which we process these orders, once an order is placed, it is generally processed and sent to our shipping department very quickly. So, there is normally very little time after you complete your purchase in which you will be able to cancel your order. Until we confirm the cancellation in writing, please do not assume that it has been successful.
Any order that is cancelled by a customer after it has been shipped or any shipment that is refused delivery by a customer at any point of delivery or attempted point of delivery (residence, business or carrier terminal) for any reason other than major verified shipping damage will have the full shipping costs plus a 7% processing fee billed back to the customer.
Buyer Responsibilities
We are able to offer you our low-low prices over the internet in part because these vehicles are shipped in boxes directly to you from our centrally located warehouses. You would typically pay a much higher price for the same quality merchandise if it was sold to you by a local dealership or store who must pay for shipping, receive, unpack and assemble these products for local viewing and sale, as well as maintain a local inventory. The tradeoff for these low-low prices is that there is a limited Return Policy.
(1) You should check for any shipping damage when your purchase arrives and handle this in accordance with the instructions in the 'Shipping Damage' section below.
(2) You will need to perform some minor assembly. All of our vehicles are shipped 95% assembled with clear instructions to make remaining assembly very easy. All assembly can be done very quickly with basic tools. Plus, most come with FREE tool kits to make this even easier. For example, for our XM-series electric motorcycles, only two mirrors and two small body panels needing installation (10 minutes at most).
(3) Customers are responsible for installing any replacement parts sent to them under their warranty. The X-Treme Scooters tech support warranty department will walk you through the installation process if needed. Alternatively, you can hire a local mechanic to install it for you. See our Warranty & Technical Support page for more information. Every customer is entitled to FREE LIFETIME technical support from the manufacturer. And a full line of replacement parts are available for every vehicle that we sell.
All customer purchases not picked up at our physical location in Clearwater, Florida, are shipped directly from warehouses located in the Midwest and Northwest to our customers. By shipping these products ONE TIME, product prices are kept low, fossil fuel is conserved and pollution is reduced. It is part of our corporate commitment to a green, earth-friendly, future.
Electric Vehicle Mall is located within the Tampa Bay area in the ocean-side city of Clearwater, Florida. Customers that live within driving distance can see, inspect and test ride fully assembled bikes and scooters at our location. (Exception: Highway capable electric & gas motorcycles, because of insurance requirements, may not be test ridden by customers.)
PLEASE call us ahead of time at 727-230-2324, option 1, to ensure that we have what you are looking for fully assembled and ready for you to see. We will set up an appointment that is convenient for you and provide driving directions.
Local pick-up of fully assembled and road tested bikes and scooters is available for a modest dealer setup fee. The price for local pickup is the same as the price on this internet site plus shipping costs (as we must pay for shipping from warehouses located in the Midwest and Northwest U.S. to this location) and the dealer setup fee. Only fully assembled, tested and ready-to-ride vehicles are sold from our local store.
We can also conveniently deliver your fully-assembled ready-to-ride mobility scooter, moped bike or motorcycle directly to your home or office for $95 (limited to a 15 mile radius of downtown Clearwater which includes north to Palm Harbor and south to Pinellas Park).
For local customers, Electric Vehicle Mall offers expert service and repair for every product we sell. Please call 727-230-2324, option 5, to set up an appointment with our service department.
FOR X-TREME PRODUCTS ONLY (e.g., XM-series motorcycles, XB-series bicycles, XB-series mopeds, XB-series mobility scooters, XP-series pocket bikes, X-series and XG-series standup scooters):
Should an X-Treme product arrive with damage that is a direct result of the assigned shipping carriers mishandling, X-Treme will replace those damaged parts free of charge under the manufacturer's warranty as long as the damage is reported immediately after delivery. The manufacturer will provide technical support through its phone and/or ticket system to assist customers with the replacement of parts but will not pay labor charges to install such parts. For more information, see the instructions on our Warranty page.
IMPORTANT: If you are present at time of delivery do not hesitate to keep the carrier at your doorstep until you inspect the box and the contents for shipping damage. IF THE BOX IS DAMAGED AND INSPECTION OF THE CONTENTS REVEALS THAT MAJOR DAMAGE HAS OCCURRED DURING SHIPPING, REFUSE THE SHIPMENT AND HAVE THE CARRIER FILE A REPORT right then. The carrier will return it to the point of origin. A replacement will be shipped to you at no additional cost. If in doubt, please call us.
If you are not present at the time of delivery, you can still process a claim within 24 hours directly with the carrier and have them return it to the point of origin. DO NOT remove the product from the box or further tear the box if you intend to file a claim with the carrier.
In the event that the damage is determined to be extensive more than 24 hours after you have accepted delivery, (digital photos may be required by e-mail), at the manufacturer's discretion and after careful consideration, the manufacturer may arrange to have the item picked up and returned to the manufacturer (never to this store) for free replacement.
FOR ALL EV-PRODUCTS ONLY (e.g., EV-M2, EV-M2C which are shipped by freight carrier strapped to large wooden pallets):
INSPECT FOR DAMAGE BEFORE SIGNING YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE SHIPMENT! If there is any damage to the outside packaging, ask the driver to wait while you inspect the contents. (Note that it is common for one or more holes to get poked in the box during handling and transit. This does not mean that your scooter is damaged! Actual shipping damage to your scooter is rare but it can happen.) If there is damage to the box, cut the straps holding the box to the pallet and then cut the straps the wrap around the top of the box so that you can open the top of the box. DO NOT REMOVE THE SCOOTER FROM THE BOX YET! Opening the top of the shipping box will reveal your EV-M2 within. With the EV-M2 still in the box, look to see if your scooter has shipping damage. If you can’t tell if there is damage to the scooter, go ahead and remove the cardboard box entirely by lifting it up and off the steel frame (this is easy with two people, one person at each end of the cardboard box; ask the driver for assistance if there is no one to help you). Now inspect the scooter again.
IF THERE IS DAMAGE TO THE SCOOTER, AS THE RECEIVER, YOU MUST DOCUMENT THE DAMAGE SO THAT A CLAIM FOR DAMAGE CAN BE FILED WITH THE CARRIER. Otherwise, you are essentially accepting a damaged scooter as okay and neither you nor we will have any recourse to reimbursement by the carrier who caused the damage to your scooter.
- First, make a note of the damages on the “Accepting Bill of Lading” and keep a copy for yourself.
- Second, have the delivery driver sign the “Accepting Bill of Lading” CONFIRMING the damage. Make sure Driver’s NAME and ID# is legible
- Third, take pictures of the outside packaging and of the damages to your scooter.
- Fourth, within 24 hours of receipt, contact us at 727-474-9992 or send an email to service@electricvehiclemall.com.
- Fifth, call Electric Vehicle Mall so that we can follow up on it for you.
- Sixth, do not remove your scooter from the steel framed box or the pallet until you receive further instructions.
X-Treme & EV Products 15 Day Return Policy (Satisfaction Guarantee):
Any customer who receives an X-Treme Scooter or EV-series Scooter whom is not satisfied should open a support ticket (see exact instructions on our Warranty page) immediately. If the manufacturer's techs cannot get the problem resolved to the customer’s satisfaction, the customer can return the scooter to the manufacturer at their expense for a refund. Returns for refund will only be authorized during the first 15 days after delivery. After 15 days, RMA’s for replacements only may be authorized. This new policy comes after the new higher priced packing was put into place which has brought the shipping damage rate to below 1% while the customer satisfaction rate has greatly increased.
If you wish to return X-Treme Scooters or EV-series Scooters merchandise, please review the terms and conditions below, then open a support ticket (see exact instructions on our Warranty page) and request an R.M.A. (Return Merchandise Authorization). Within 1 - 2 business days of submitting your request, a team member from the manufacturer's support department will contact you with further instructions.
All returns must be pre-authorized. All merchandise must be returned ONLY to the distributor's warehouse as indicated below, NOT to the Electric Vehicle Mall store.
Return Terms and Conditions:
Customer is responsible for returning merchandise at their own expense. Refunds will not include our original shipping cost which was included in the purchase prices of the merchandise.
All X-Treme Scooters returned merchandise must be returned to the distributor, Green Max Distributors, NEVER to the store, Electric Vehicle Mall.
All EV-M2 scooters, with the exception of the EV-M2C (cargo) Scooter, and EV-T2 tricycles must be returned ONLY to the distributor, Electric Wheels, NEVER to the store, Electric Vehicle Mall.
All EV-M1 scooters, EV-M2C (cargo) scooters, and EV-M4 scooters must be returned only to the distributor, Electric Vehicle Mall.
Merchandise must be received in 100% new, re-sellable condition. Merchandise is not eligible for refund if it has been ridden, worn, used, abused, damaged in any way or gas has been added to the fuel tank. Merchandise must arrive complete (including warranty cards, manuals, accessories, promotional items, etc.) and in the original packaging.
Customer must initiate return shipment of the merchandise within 15 days of the purchase date.
Preparing your product for Authorized R.M.A. return shipment:
| Re-pack the merchandise securely in its original packaging, include the original contents of the box; warranty cards, Manuals, accessories, promotional items, etc. | |
| Include a copy of your invoice. | |
| Include a copy of the RMA notice you have received from us via our support department help desk. | |
| Clearly print your RMA# on the return shipping label (on the outside of the box). For your protection we recommend all returns be sent via UPS, Federal Express or other carrier that issues a tracking number. We recommend that the shipment is insured. The customer is responsible for damage or loss during return shipping. | |
| Freight collect and COD packages will not be accepted. |
At the discretion of the distributor, returns which do not follow the above guidelines may be refused and require the customer to pay return shipping and handling fees, or an additional processing fee may apply. If accepted, items returned without an RMA# are subject to a 35% restocking fee.
All shipping charges are non-refundable. Please note that cost of shipping the product to you is built into the price of ALL of the products that we sell. For example, even though you may have received free shipping, obviously we paid a shipping charge to ship the product to you. On other products, a modest shipping charge is applied to your purchase but this is not the entire cost of shipping that product to you. The additional actual cost of shipping is built into the base price of the product. Before you return your purchase for a refund, you should ask the manufacturer to quote you the amount of the non-refundable shipping charge for your purchase. Be sure to put this question in the comment section when you submit your support ticket requesting an R.M.A. The actual cost of shipping the product to you, which includes the amount built into the base price of your purchase, is not refundable.
Customer is responsible for returning merchandise at their own expense.
All returned new units will be charged a 20% restocking fee.
In summary, the amount of your refund under the 15 day return policy would be your original payment less the actual cost of shipping the product to you and less a 20% restocking fee.
Once merchandise has been accepted for refund, credit will be applied to the account through which payment was originally made.
