Lithium Battery 
Water damage and batteries that have been left to self-discharge for an extended period of time are not covered by the terms of the warranty. Warranty inspection will be required for all returned batteries. 

The life expectancy of a Lithium battery is 2 to 5 years (approx. 700-1000 charge cycles). If the battery has not been used for a prolonged period of time (more than 3 months), it is possible that the battery loses its capacities or no longer works. Make sure to charge your battery and to use your electric bicycle on a regular basis. Charging your battery on a regular basis is not enough to maintain good battery health, it must be used on the electric bicycle to maximize its longevity.

Electric Motor
Water damage, overheated motors and motor failure due to wire damage and axle spin-out are not covered by the terms of the warranty.

*In some rare situations, we may require your bike or scooter to be sent to our facility for diagnosis and repair. The cost of shipping to our facility will be the responsibility of the customer. Warranty parts will only be shipped within Canada.  Delivery of the defective products or parts for repair or replacement to our service shop is the customer’s responsibility.
