Poor product, poor aftercare service. AVOID!

I bought 3 stunt scooters from Argos for my children. The one used the least often broke mid-use, with the front wheel coming off completely. It’s taken 2+ weeks of going back and forth with Argos and the repair company sending me a bolt with a missing piece to re-attach the wheel myself. The pink scooter was probably on special offer for the reason of being poorly made. I’m waiting for the remaining 2 scooters to also break any day now. Poor product and extremely poor aftercare. I do NOT recommend.

Unsafe product and terrible experience

Unsafe product and terrible experience

I rarely leave reviews, but this has been such a frustrating experience that I feel I have to warn others.

Firstly, the delivery was a nightmare(Not Zinc's fault) — Yodel couldn’t locate my office (despite it being the biggest building in the area), and it took two weeks of failed deliveries before I had to redirect the order to my home.

When the scooter finally arrived, the first one had electric light issues and scooter had to be replaced. Second scooter: the bracket holding the steering wheel came loose and fell off — another replacement sent. Now, the latest problem: my son turned the handlebars, but the scooter didn’t turn. The height adjustment part completely disintegrated, making the scooter unsafe and unusable.

I’m now waiting for customer support for the fourth time, and have requested a full refund. There seems to be something fundamentally wrong with this product — the Zinc Brillz Light Up Big Wheeled Folding Scooter is simply not safe.

Great service

I bought a scooter about 2 years ago and the front bolt came off. This was totally normal wear and tear. I contacted support and they sent me out the missing parts completely free of charge with fast postage.

Scooter itself is a great scooter and the team support is even better.

Great customer service from Zinc…

Great customer service from Zinc Scooters! They went above and beyond to help me get a part for my daughter's scooter, which she absolutely loves. The team was knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient in getting the part sorted for us. My daughter is thrilled to have her scooter back in action, and we appreciate the excellent service we received from Zinc Scooters. Highly recommend! 🎉👍

I bought a Zinc scooter for my son about 6 months ago, and the back wheel cracked over time. I decided to contact customer service, and they replied within an hour, offering to send me a new wheel free of charge. It arrived the very next day! In my opinion, that’s excellent customer service. Thank you, guys!

Top customer service

Had my son’s 3 wheel scooter for years - heavy use. One of the bolts came out from the bottom rendering the scooter useless as the front right wheel couldn’t stay upright. I tried various other bolts and screws but none fit, so I dropped a note to customer services just to ask what the spec of the bolt was so I could find another one somewhere. Within twenty mins I had an email asking for my address saying they’d send me a new bolt free of charge. No questions asked. I’ve now got a tracking number for a new part and raised the query less than an hour ago. Best customer service I’ve probably ever had!

Great customer service

The zinc sticker fell off my 4 year old daughters scooter and she noticed straight away and was quite sad about it! I contacted customer services and they responded straight away and posted out a replacement swiftly. Thank you!

Avoid this company like the plague

Avoid this company like the plague. They don't comply with consumer credit rights. Wish I could have tried before I bought. They want everything back in it's original packaging if not they said they would send it back. No empathy and passive aggressive in their responses

Great customer service

I had such a positive experience with the customer service team. They were friendly, patient, and very understanding. My son somehow managed to lose a part, and they kindly sent me a replacement free of charge, which I really didn’t expect. Everything was handled quickly and professionally, and it made the whole experience stress-free. Excellent service that I would definitely recommend!

Don’t trust all the bad scores

I am very confused about all these bad reviews/scores but I can confirm I bought my son a Zinc scooter through Argos in February and it’s been brilliant, quality is great, service in terms of buying was great. The product seems to be very high standard. The brake pedal did break off but I suspect this was more combined issue with excessive use as it’s used daily and has been since February. Anyway, emailed warranty team about it and seen there was no stock of new break pedals so was between rock and hard place but given how new etc they offered a replacement/refund within 24 hours of my email and was no issue completing this. Cannot fault anything really, great product too (is the normal Zinc scooter for kids unsure exact name)
