Important information

SELANA Alpha is set to be the only RDW-approved and therefore legal E-scooter in the Netherlands. For our SELANA Alpha model, the RDW approval is expected in Q4 2024.

Electric scooters are not yet allowed to be used on public roads in the Netherlands. It is the full responsibility of the current users to ensure that the E-scooter is used according to national and local laws.

Disclaimer: The customer accepts all liability and risks associated with the use of SELANA Omega. The customer releases Go Tulip B.V. and its owners from all liability and damage resulting from the use of SELANA Omega. If the RDW approval has been obtained for our model SELANA Alpha (Q4 2024). Then it will be possible to drive and insure it in the Netherlands.

SELANA Alpha complies with the Special Moped Regulation and has all the necessary certificates to be allowed to drive on Dutch roads. The team has been working hard to ensure that everything meets the expectations of the RDW.

In addition, our E-scooter is produced according to the highest quality and safety standards.

We expect that it will be fully approved by the RDW by the end of 2024. Which would allow it to be insured and ridden in the Netherlands.

Pre-ordering your SELANA Alpha now offers several key advantages:

  1. Priority Production: We operate on a first-come, first-served waitlist system. By pre-ordering early, you secure a higher position on our production list, which means you'll receive your E-scooter sooner.
  2. Guaranteed Availability: As we approach our production start date (expected end of 2024), pre-ordering ensures you don't miss out on the initial production run.
  3. Reduced Wait Times: A higher volume of early orders allows us to optimize our production processes more effectively. This will lead to shorter wait times for all customers.
  4. Low Initial Commitment: The pre-order requires only a EUR 100 deposit, which secures your spot. The full payment is not due until the product receives final approval.
  5. Early Adopter Status: Be among the first to experience the SELANA Alpha when deliveries begin in early 2025.

By pre-ordering now, you're not just reserving an E-scooter – you're helping shape our production timeline and potentially accelerating the delivery process for yourself and other customers.

Currently there are no other manufacturers that are in the process to approving an E-scooter. Therefore the SELANA Alpha will be the only legal E-scooter once approved.

We are committed to providing regular updates via email whenever we have new information regarding the start of production.

Currently, we are working closely with RDW to obtain the necessary approvals. While we can't confirm the exact timeline, we anticipate beginning a production batch alongside RDW towards the end of this year. If our processes receive approval at that stage, we expect to secure full certification.

Once production begins, it will take approximately 3 months to complete. We will prioritize pre-orders based on the order in which they were placed, ensuring that early supporters receive their E-scooters first.

Rest assured, we will keep you informed every step of the way. As your order progresses, you'll receive timely updates on its status, so you're always in the loop about when your vehicle will be ready.

We cannot promise that we will get the full approval from the RDW. It is possible that there are things out of our control that will stop us from receiving it.
