Shipping Damage

Damage to a Covered Component during shipping is not covered by this Limited Warranty, but Samebike will replace such damaged Covered Components if you:

  • Provide Samebike with a dated picture of the damaged Covered Component;
  • Return all original packaging and paperwork included with the ebike; and
  • Note any immediately recognizable damage on the shipper’s Bill of Lading before signing off on the shipment.

Shipping damage claims are very time sensitive and it is your responsibility to immediately inspect the ebike for damage upon receipt.

If you choose to set up your independent shipping methods, such as the use of a freight forwarder or other similar service, Samebike will not replace any Covered Components damaged during such shipping method.

Credit Card Chargebacks

If any ebike purchase becomes subject to a credit card chargeback in any amount, and you are still in possession of the ebike, then this Limited Warranty shall be invalidated until the credit card chargeback has been resolved.
