What is the New Jersey Wheelchair Lemon Law?

A "lemon" vehicle is one that exhibits a substantial problem or problems following repair attempts made to it. Motorized wheelchairs and scooters can cost up to $20,000.00. Accordingly, New Jersey’s lawmakers decided that the public should be protected from lemon motorized wheelchairs and scooters by having a right to sue the vehicle’s manufacturer for a refund of the vehicle’s purchase or lease price, less a reasonable use allowance deduction. Under New Jersey’s Wheelchair Lemon Law, manufacturers must provide the buyers of wheelchairs and scooters a minimum warranty of 1 year beginning from the time of delivery for defects or conditions impairing the vehicle’s value.
