Terms & Conditions

Please read these Terms carefully. They limit our liability and explain that our content is editorial opinion and general information — not professional advice or any warranty.

Last updated: May 28, 2026

Plain-language summary (not a substitute for the full Terms):

We're an independent media site. Everything we publish is our opinion and general info — verify it yourself before you buy or ride. We don't make, sell, or warrant any product, and we're not responsible for third-party sites, products, recalls, injuries, or losses. By subscribing to our emails or clicking out to another site, you agree to these Terms.

1. Acceptance of these Terms

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of ElectricBikes.com and all related subdomains, pages, content, newsletters, email communications, forms, and services (collectively, the "Site"), operated by ElectricBikes.com ("we," "us," or "our").

By accessing the Site, reading our content, subscribing to our newsletter, submitting any form, clicking an outbound link, or otherwise using the Site in any way, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not use the Site.

You confirm that you are at least 18 years old, or that you are using the Site under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.

2. Editorial content is opinion, not professional advice

ElectricBikes.com is an independent editorial and media publication. All reviews, ratings, rankings, comparisons, buyer's guides, specifications, pricing, "best-of" lists, safety notes, and other content represent our editorial opinions and general information as of the date of publication. They are provided for general informational and entertainment purposes only.

Nothing on the Site constitutes legal, medical, financial, insurance, engineering, mechanical, or other professional advice, and nothing on the Site creates any professional-client relationship. You should not act or refrain from acting on the basis of any content on the Site without seeking independent, qualified professional advice specific to your situation.

Product specifications, prices, model availability, features, and safety information change frequently and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date. You are solely responsible for independently verifying any information — including price, fitment, certification, legality, and current recall or safety status — directly with the manufacturer, an authorized dealer, or the relevant regulatory authority before making any purchase or riding decision.

3. No warranties — Site provided "as is"

THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT, PRODUCTS REFERENCED, AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we expressly disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components, or that any defects will be corrected.

We make no warranty regarding any product, brand, manufacturer, dealer, retailer, service provider, or third party mentioned, reviewed, advertised, or linked on the Site. We do not manufacture, sell, distribute, service, inspect, or warrant any electric bike, OneWheel, battery, charger, accessory, or other product discussed on the Site. Any warranty for a product is provided solely by the manufacturer or seller of that product, not by us.

4. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL ELECTRICBIKES.COM, ITS OWNERS, EDITORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AFFILIATES, PARTNERS, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SITE OR ANY CONTENT, PRODUCT, OR THIRD-PARTY SITE.

Without limiting the foregoing, we are not liable for any personal injury, death, property damage, fire, battery failure, crash, mechanical failure, financial loss, or any other harm of any kind arising from: (a) your reliance on any content; (b) your purchase, use, modification, charging, maintenance, or operation of any product referenced on the Site; (c) the acts or omissions of any manufacturer, dealer, retailer, advertiser, or other third party; or (d) any product recall, defect, or safety issue, whether or not described on the Site.

Safety information and recall references on the Site are provided as a convenience and are not exhaustive or guaranteed to be current. The absence of a safety note, recall reference, or warning on any page does not mean a product is safe or free of recalls. You must check the manufacturer and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and other authorities for current safety information.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Site shall not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100.00). Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you; in such cases our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

5. Assumption of risk

Riding electric bikes, OneWheel boards, scooters, and other electric rideables is inherently dangerous and can result in serious injury or death. You assume all risk associated with the purchase, use, and operation of any such product. You are solely responsible for wearing appropriate protective gear, obeying all applicable laws, following manufacturer instructions, and riding within your ability.

You agree that we have no responsibility or liability for any decision you make or action you take based on content found on the Site.

6. Third-party links, advertising, and affiliate relationships

The Site contains links to third-party websites, products, services, advertisers, and resources that we do not own or control, including manufacturer sites, dealer locators, retailers, and our legal-referral partner. When you click a link to leave the Site, you do so at your own risk and are subject to the terms and privacy policies of that third party.

We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, availability, products, services, pricing, security, or practices of any third-party site, and the inclusion of any link does not imply our endorsement. We expressly disclaim all liability arising from your use of, or reliance on, any third-party site or anything you obtain through it.

ElectricBikes.com participates in affiliate and advertising programs. Some links are affiliate or sponsored links, meaning we may earn a commission or fee when you click or make a qualifying purchase, at no additional cost to you. Sponsored placements and advertising are clearly labeled. We do not sell positive reviews, rankings, or editorial conclusions. See our affiliate disclosure within these Terms and on relevant pages.

7. Newsletter, email, and electronic communications consent

By submitting your email address through any signup form, popup, checkout, or other mechanism on the Site, you expressly consent to receive marketing and promotional emails, newsletters, deal alerts, and other electronic communications from ElectricBikes.com, and you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

Email frequency varies. You may withdraw your consent and unsubscribe at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in any email or by contacting us. Unsubscribing stops marketing emails but does not affect transactional messages related to a request you submitted.

You represent that any email address or contact information you submit is your own or that you are authorized to provide it. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

8. Promotions, discount codes, and offers

Any discount codes, coupons, spin-to-win prizes, or promotional offers made available on the Site are provided for convenience, may be subject to additional terms, may be modified or withdrawn at any time, have no cash value, and may depend on third-party retailers honoring them. We do not guarantee that any third party will accept or honor any code or offer.

9. Intellectual property

All content on the Site — including text, graphics, logos, images, page layout, and the compilation thereof — is owned by or licensed to ElectricBikes.com and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. You may view and share content for personal, non-commercial use with attribution and a link back. You may not copy, reproduce, republish, scrape, sell, or create derivative works from the Site without our prior written permission. Third-party trademarks and product names are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification only.

10. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Site for any unlawful purpose; not to interfere with or disrupt the Site or its security; not to scrape, harvest, or use automated means to collect data; not to submit false, misleading, or another person's information; and not to upload anything malicious. We may suspend or terminate access for any violation.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ElectricBikes.com and its owners, editors, employees, contractors, affiliates, and partners from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

12. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. You agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to the Site or these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in California, and you consent to their jurisdiction, except where prohibited by applicable law.

Any claim you may have arising out of or relating to the Site must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues; otherwise, it is permanently barred.

13. Changes to these Terms and to the Site

We may modify these Terms at any time by posting a revised version on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Changes are effective when posted. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We may also change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time without notice.

14. Severability and entire agreement

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force, and the unenforceable provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site and supersede any prior agreements. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision.
