Himiway Warranty

WARRANTY AND REPLACEMENT POLICY

All Himiway bikes are covered under our 2-year, all-inclusive manufacturer's warranty for the owner against all manufacturing defects. (All free accessories are not covered by warranty service.)

WARRANTY PERIOD AND TARGET AUDIENCE TERMS

The warranty is registered automatically when the initial purchaser orders and then receives the product from our online shop and applies to the initial purchaser only.

As for warranty transfer, the ebike transferee can only benefit from the warranty when both of these conditions are met:

  • The 2-years package hasn't expired since the initial owner has received it;
  • The new owner has the initial purchaser’s name and the original order number.

    COVERED PRODUCTS

    Himiway will replace any component that is deemed to be defective or damaged (including damage incurred during shipment), except in case of user error. The warranty covers the listed products and follows the terms below:

    Frame

    Himiway ebike frames are covered by a replacement warranty for 2 years.

    This warranty includes a replacement frame only. Labor charges associated with transferring parts to replacement frames are not included. An authorized Himiway service representative will determine if the frame meets the replacement standard.

    Himiway reserves the right to use scratch and dent stock when replacing a frame under this warranty. Frame styles and/or colors not in stock may be replaced with a compatible style and/or color at Himiway’s discretion.

    After the first 2 years of service – A prorated credit, based on months of service, will be applied toward the purchase of a new battery. Batteries purchased at a prorated cost will come with a new 2-year warranty based on the prorated purchase date.
