Bike Friday Guarantee and Warranty

Bike Friday® Guarantee

We at Green Gear Cycling, Inc. (Bike Friday) want you, the customer, to be happy with your new bicycle. For direct orders shipped from the factory if your bike does not meet your expectations, you may return the bicycle to us for a full refund, less all shipping charges and a 15% restocking fee (as of 06-01-18). For bikes ordered through a dealer, we allow the dealer to use their own return policy. This applies to the purchase of new Custom and Stock bicycles. In all cases, the return shipping charges are your responsibility. To take advantage of this guarantee, you must notify our service department (800.777.0258 / service@bikefriday.com) within 30 calendar days of your receipt of your bike of your intent to return the bike, and we must receive it in our possession within 35 calendar days of you taking delivery of the bike. We also accept returns on parts within 30 days as long as the part is unused and undamaged. Processing your refund usually takes 2-6 weeks from the time that we receive back your returned item(s).

We want your bicycle to work for you, and in order for your bicycle to work well, it should fit. We’ll need some help from you to ensure that your new Bike Friday fits you well, specifically by providing us with the measurements of your best fitting bike (if you own a bike that fits well) and a description of how you feel on this bike. Additionally, you will be asked for some personal measurements with a required accuracy within 1/4″ (5mm) and 3 pounds (1.35kg) – yes of your current weight and not your ideal weight – as well as a description of your riding style and the places you most likely envision riding your new Friday. Our Consultants can guide you through the process of obtaining and interpreting this information. This guarantee does not apply to Stock Bikes, which are not custom built to your specifications, but come in standard small, medium and large sizing.

Armed with this data, we can guarantee the fit of your new Friday if (1) we are matching exactly the dimensions from your current, best fitting bicycle, or (2) we build a Friday from your body measurements that include our optional “fit stem” program. If you choose to have us build a bike for you that is sized in any other way, the bike will be sized per that method and built in a manner that allows for later fine-tuning of the sizing should you choose, at your expense, to pursue a more exacting fit.

BIKE FRIDAY WARRANTY

This warranty is expressly limited to the repair or replacement of the defective frame, fork, or defective part at the discretion of Green Gear Cycling. This is the sole remedy of the warranty. This warranty applies only to the original owner and is not transferable.

Claims must be made through Green Gear Cycling or an authorized dealer. Proof of purchase is required. This warranty covers bicycles and components purchased outside of the United States only if purchased through an authorized Green Gear Cycling dealer.

This warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, improper assembly or maintenance, or installation of parts or accessories not originally intended or compatible with the bicycle as sold. Under no circumstance shall Green Gear Cycling be responsible for incidental or consequential damages.

Electric Assist Product Warranty

First, we expect to deliver a fully functional product to you. We warrant our electric assist components (motor, controller, throttle, charger, and displays) against defects in workmanship and materials for 1 year. Batteries come with a one month warranty. The most likely issues arise when a battery has not been maintained properly.

This warranty is expressly limited to the repair or replacement of the defective part at the discretion of Green Gear Cycling. This is the sole remedy of the warranty. This warranty applies only to the original owner and is not transferable.

The cost of shipping of the defective components back to Green Gear Cycling is the sole responsibility of the purchaser. Please call Green Gear Cycling to register a claim and obtain a Return Authorization Number prior to shipping anything back to Green Gear Cycling.

Common problems NOT covered by the warranty:

-“Axle spin out”- spinning out the axle inside of your dropouts if your wheel wasn’t fastened tightly.
-Water damage to the battery or corrosion of the connectors from water exposure.
-Improper care of battery- Our batteries are sophisticated pieces of electronics that will provide years of reliable service if properly cared for OR can be easily damaged due to misuse. Please watch our ” Proper Care of Your e-Assist Battery ” for techniques to ensure a reliable, long life from your battery, plus review the Battery Maintenance Guidelines section above.
-Damage and failure due to misuse, neglect, improper storage (example: 45 days without using or charging your battery can damage it) or other forms of use not designed for but not limited to jumping, competition, or use of 3rd party components.
-Broken spokes- a situation that is not unique to electric assist wheels and can happen to any bicycle wheel.

This warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, improper assembly or maintenance, or installation of parts or accessories not originally intended or compatible with the electric assist system as sold. Green Gear Cycling Inc. is not responsible for incidental or consequential damages.
