WARRANTY

Every bike is covered under our manufacturer’s one year warranty for the original owner against all manufacturing defects. The aluminum frame warranty is for life for the original owner against all manufacturing defects. Warranty parts will only be shipped within the continental United States. If you purchased a bike and had it then shipped to another country, parts will only be sent to the country in which the bike was originally sent. Recon Power Bikes warrants this product, including all individual components against defects in material or workmanship as follows:

What Will We Do to Correct Problems with Your Bike?

If a component is deemed to be defective or damaged without user error we will issue a replacement part. We will assist you in replacing any defective part.

Only in extreme cases will an entire replacement bike be issued, in these cases the original bike may have to ship to the Recon Power Bikes facility for inspection/repairs before a new bike is sent out. If repairs can be made, a new bike will not always be sent. This warranty does not include consumables or normal wear and tear parts (tires, tubes, brake pads, cables and housing, grips, chain, spokes).

There are many factors that contribute to actual, real-world range for an ebike battery such as age of the battery, temperature, level of assist, speed, payload, and terrain.
