Warranties

The warranty offered on an electric bicycle is one of the most important things you need to know before making a purchase. A warranty shows that the seller is confident of their products and their ability to service those products. It shows that they are interested in selling a reliable product that will last a long time. But don’t forget to check how a warranty claim will be processed – where do you have to take your ebike and how long will it all take and what costs might you have to pay? What’s excluded, what is considered wear and tear, are there commercial warranties as well? And just as important – do the people there seem like they would know how to service it? Purchasing an electric bicycle from Cargocycles means that for the first 12 months, everything is covered and you’ll have the expertise in our shop to quickly deal with any issues. Depending on the product purchased, there are many warranties that extend beyond the first 12 months. Generally you have to register the warranty of your ebike so that we both have a record of when you bought it and where. Details follow.

Cargocycles Bicycle Service Warranty

A 12 month service and parts warranty applies to purchases of eZee bike and Wisper bikes from Cargocycles in Collingwood. In a nutshell this means that in the first 12 months you won’t pay a cent to keep your ebike running, other than the electricity to charge the battery. Bicycles that have been converted to electric bicycles using an eZeebike or Wisper electric bicycle conversion kit are only covered if the bicycle was purchased new from Cargocycles and the ebike conversion kit installation was carried out by us.
The service warranty includes a free 3 month mechanical service, and covers the cost of any replacement parts and repairs for 12 months. This means there is very little that can go wrong with your electric bicycle that can cost you any significant amount of money. The owner is responsible for bringing their electric bicycle to the store for warranties and taking it away again. Note also that it is a condition of this warranty that the 3 months service is carried out. Specifically, if we don’t see your bike in the first 4 months after purchasing it, the 12 month service warranty is forfeited, because a stitch in time saves nine…
