Claims Process

1. Warranty Claims

All warranty claims must be made through Riding Times and submitted to support@ridert.com. Proof of purchase and photos or videos of the damaged product must be submitted with any warranty request. Before filing a claim, contact Riding Times via support@ridert.com for potential simple fixes that may not necessitate filing a claim. Valid claims made within 1 year of the initial purchase will be processed through Riding Times.

Defective displays, batteries, motors, and controllers are eligible for replacement under the warranty. In case the damage is caused by a modified or damaged 3rd party accessory the customer covers shipping and labor costs, otherwise in normal circumstances warranty is provided free of charge to the client (shipping, labor, parts). In Riding Times will assist in coordinating the return process with the carrier. Defective accessories generally do not need to be returned unless specified by the individual vendor.

Riding Times will not replace any part without first seeing photos or video of the damaged product.

2. Shipping Damage Claims

If shipping damage occurs, contact support@ridert.com with photo or video proof. No free accessories are eligible for replacement or compensation if scratched during transportation. Note: Shipping damage claims must be filed within 7 days of product receipt.

3. Credit Card Chargebacks

If any ebike or escooter purchase becomes subject to a credit card chargeback, and the customer still possesses the ebike or escooter, this Limited Warranty will be invalidated until the credit card chargeback is resolved.

4. Visual Evidence Requirement

Riding Times will not replace any covered component under this Limited Warranty without first seeing photos or video of the damaged component.
