At RICH BIT, we stand behind the quality of our electric bikes. To ensure a clear and predictable experience for our customers, we operate under the following specific return and resolution guidelines.
⏱️ 30-Day No-Reason Return
You have 30 days from the date your product is delivered to request a return without providing a specific reason.
1. 30-Day "No-Reason" Return PolicyOur 30-day "No-Reason" return policy is exclusively available for Electric Bikes (E-bikes) shipped from our European (EU) warehouses.
- Eligibility: This policy applies only to complete E-bike units delivered within the European Union.
- Condition: The bike must be in new, unused condition with all original packaging.
- Exclusions: This "No-Reason" policy does not apply to orders shipped to the United States or other non-EU countries.
Please note that Spare Parts (including but not limited to throttles, batteries, and controllers) are excluded from the 30-day "No-Reason" return policy.
- Final Sale: All spare parts sales are final unless the part is received damaged or is defective upon arrival.
- Compatibility: It is the customer's responsibility to confirm compatibility with their specific model before purchase.
- Returns for Parts: If a return is authorized for a spare part at our discretion, the customer is responsible for all return shipping costs to our designated facility, which may be located in China.
For customers outside of the EU, please be aware of the following:
- Return Logistics: We do not currently maintain return warehouses in the United States.
- Shipping Costs: Return shipping for international orders (outside the EU) must be paid by the customer.
- Force Majeure: As per our company standards, we are not responsible for delivery delays or return issues caused by factors beyond our control, such as customs delays or force majeure.
📦 ELIGIBILITY & PRODUCT CONDITION
To qualify for a full refund under our 30-day return policy, the item must be in the exact condition you received it to ensure it does not influence a second sale for us.
- Unopened & Unused: The electric bike must not have been ridden, assembled, or removed from its original protective factory packaging.
- Original Packaging: The product must be in its original box with all styrofoam, hardware, manuals, and accessories included.
- Undamaged: The item must be completely free of scratches, scuffs, or any signs of wear.
🚚 RETURN SHIPPING COSTS
- For No-Reason Returns: If you are returning the product simply because you changed your mind, the customer is responsible for arranging and paying for the return shipping costs back to our warehouse.
- For Defective Returns: If the item arrives damaged or has a major mechanical defect, RICH BIT will provide a prepaid return label.
🛡️ 1. MAJOR QUALITY DEFECTS (Eligible for Return & Full Refund)
During the specified warranty period, customers are eligible for a return and full refund if the product experiences a major quality defect that prevents the safe and normal operation of the electric bike.
- Definition of Major Defect: This includes non-functional motors, critical battery failures, defective controllers, or structural cracks in the bicycle frame occurring under normal riding conditions.
- Resolution: RICH BIT will provide a return shipping label and issue a full refund or a brand-new replacement unit upon receipt and inspection of the defective product.
🔧 2. MINOR DEFECTS & COSMETIC DAMAGE (Eligible for Parts & Support)
To keep our shipping efficient and eco-friendly, minor defects that do not interfere with the safe, normal mechanical operation of the bicycle are not eligible for a full return or refund. Instead, these are resolved through parts replacement and partial reimbursement.
- Definition of Minor Defect: This includes cosmetic scratches or paint chips on the frame, missing or loose screws, or damage to consumable parts (such as tires, tubes, or brake pads) during transit.
- Resolution: For these instances, RICH BIT will provide the necessary replacement parts free of charge, along with technical repair guidance. Depending on the severity of the cosmetic issue, a partial store credit or partial refund may be offered as a goodwill gesture.
