NIU warranty for scooters & hoverboards
The short version
NIU covers scooters & hoverboards in full for 2 years, with no partial coverage after that. That full coverage is longer than most of the 13 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
