The product, in the report: Ezip 400 electric scooter

My 13 yr old son was riding his Ezip 400 electric scooter when the throttle stuck in the fast position. The only way to stop the scooter was to shut off the master power. The way the scooter is designed to work is if you let go of the throttle the motor will disengage and the scooter will slow to a stop. I contacted the company Currie Industries and their primary concern was had my son dropped or crashed his scooter previously. Once I told them that he had not they agreed to ship me the necessary parts to fix the scooter but were going to charge me shipping and handling on the parts. The scooter was still within the 90 day warranty. I refused the new parts and the shipping and handling and returned the scooter to Walmart where I purchased it.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(8/4/2011) CURRIE TECHNOLOGIES: Currie Technologies takes consumer claims of malfunctioning product very seriously, especially when user safety issues are at issue. In this case we were able to identify the phone conversation with the reporting consumer into our customer service department by tracing the serial number provided in the report.
After listening to the recorded call we were able to establish that the safety power cut-off system function as designed in that when the brake lever was applied, power was correctly cut-off to the motor and the scooter could be safely stopped and switched off without incident.
It is very difficult to determine the exact cause of the system fault that caused this problem, based on conditions described by the consumer and over the phone technical check, it seems that either the controller electronic short sensing system failed or the throttle may possibly have been damaged in use, causing this problem. As a result of this initial diagnosis, our CS representative offered to send both parts to the consumer at no charge.
We believe that the consumer was unhappy with the product warranty that states that shipping and handling is not covered under warranty. Even after the customer service agent offered to waive the shipping, the $2.50 handling charge upset him and he decided to return the scooter to the Wal-Mart store that it was purchased and get a new scooter for his son. We also believe that our warranty policy caused him to become irritated and as a result, he decided to file this report to the CPSC.
As a point of clarity, the concern expressed by our CSR during the call was the safety of the rider. While we did ask about damage to the scooter from a previous use related situation, this was not our primary concern as the consumer states. Also, the consumer states, “The only way to stop the scooter was to shut off the master power.” This as stated above and detailed in his call is not true, as the power cut-off system functioned correctly and as designed.
