What to do if I bought a used scooter from a cycle store but after less than 1 hour of use it broke and died?

I had to leave it in the town where I bought it because I live way outside of that town, and I had to wait for the shop to be open to let them know to get it. Now the scooter is in their hands. Now I am discouraged and disgusted and want a refund. They tell me they don’t do that, but that whether they do or not, I should send them the key to the scooter so that they can check it. I wonder: do they have a legal obligation to just give me my money back if I want it back? I am worried that by sending them the key, or just by leaving the scooter with them, they’ll wreck it and accuse me so that I can’t have my money back nor use the bike.

Did you purchase it in "as is" condition?  Were any warranties made regarding its condition?  There is not enough informatoin priovided to assess your situation.  You should consult with legal counsel.
