1. Items Damaged During Transit

- While we take every reasonable precaution to ensure that products are well-packed, damage can occur during shipment from our warehouse to your destination.

- Box Damages: Shipping oversized large items across the country can incur some scuffs around the box, which is normal for all shipping companies. The purpose of the box is to ensure the unit inside is well protected. If your products are damaged during transit:

- Please refuse delivery and have the driver note the refusal reason as “damaged”.

- If you are unable to refuse the damaged shipment or if freight damage is concealed, notify us and the freight company immediately.

- Shipping-related damages must be reported to the freight company and to us within 7 days of receipt of shipment.

3. Exchange: Sending a replacement unit AFTER the returned unit comes back

We are more than willing to ship out the replacement bike at the earliest possible time once the returned unit gets back to us.

Returns & Exchanges Explained

At the expense of convenience and providing customer satisfaction, we offer free shipping for orders of our products.

However, shipping is actually not free, ADOEBIKE.STORE absorbs the shipping fee and pays for it on your behalf. That means we take returns very seriously. 1 shipping trip of an electric bike (a battery product), will cost upwards of $150 per trip.

On top of that, we do not sell returned products. There is intense labor involved in a returned product, we have to inspect the entire returned bike in and out. This is not even including of handling, repair, or service fees for all of these troubles.

We will not charge you all these additional fees as we aim to provide top-notch customer service and support. To keep it fair for you as well as us, all we ask is for you to cover the 3rd party costs incurred such as shipping and taxes. (Should you choose to do a return/exchange)

Please be fair to us. We are just humans working behind the scenes and around the clock. We genuinely try to do a good job serving every rider. Your satisfaction and trust are extremely important to us.

How Will I Receive My Reimbursement?

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement except as described above.
