Shipping to Remote Locations and the Three Territories

Shipping to remote areas, including the Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut, may incur additional shipping fees. Before processing your order, we will assess it and provide you with a detailed shipping quote.

Bike Assembly Service

The Bike Assembly Service is available exclusively to customers who are both willing and able to collect their assembled bicycles from the Rize Bikes Service Centre.

This service incurs an additional charge, which Rize Bikes reserves the right to modify at any time without prior notice. You have the option to select the Bike Assembly Service during checkout, at which point the relevant fees will be disclosed to you before you finalize your payment.

You are obliged to retrieve your assembled bike within 5 business days from the scheduled collection date. Failing to do so will result in a $100 storage fee at the time of collection. Upon collection, you must thoroughly inspect the eBike for any issues and verify its functionality. Should you encounter any problems with the eBike, it is imperative that you immediately inform the staff overseeing the collection so that the issues can be addressed promptly. After completing the inspection and deeming the bike free of issues, you will be required to complete and sign a pick-up form. By signing this form, you acknowledge that the bike has been received in good condition and agree not to hold Rize Bikes accountable for any subsequent issues not covered by the Limited Warranty.

The Limited Warranty for your bike commences the moment you collect it from the Rize Bikes Service Centre. Any claims made under the Limited Warranty must adhere to the Claim Process specified in the warranty documentation.

Bike Repair and Maintenance Services

Bike repair and maintenance services are available exclusively to customers willing and able to drop off and collect their eBikes from the Rize Bikes Service Centre.

Rize Bikes reserves the right to modify the pricing of all services at any time without prior notice. At the time of drop-off, a Rize Bikes associate will provide a preliminary quote for the services requested. If, during service, our technicians discover additional issues, one of our associates will contact you with an updated quote. If you do not reply within 24 hours to the updated quote, we will only complete the original service(s) quoted even if additional services are required to solve the discovered issue(s). Your eBike will also be placed at the end of the queue if you decide to go ahead with the additional services quoted.

You are obliged to retrieve your eBike within 5 business days after service. Failing to do so will result in a $100 storage fee at the time of collection. eBikes left for more than 15 business days after the completion of service will be donated or recycled. Upon collection, you must thoroughly inspect the eBike for any issues and verify its functionality. Should you encounter any problems with the eBike, inform the staff overseeing the collection immediately so that the issues can be addressed promptly. After completing the inspection and deeming the bike free of issues, you will be required to complete and sign a pick-up form. By signing this form, you acknowledge that the bike has been received in good condition and agree not to hold Rize Bikes responsible for any subsequent issues not covered by the Limited Warranty.

Ownership

The ownership of all products and the risk of loss to such products will transfer to you at the time Rize Bikes delivers such products to the shipping couriers.

We reserve the right to terminate your right to use the products if the payment company chosen to process your payment declines payment or requires us to return any payment made for the products for any reason. In this case, the products shall be considered our property until payment is received in full and all disputes resolved. The Limited Warranty will also be invalidated until a resolution is reached.

Limited Warranty

All products offered by Rize Bikes are only warranted to the extent expressly stated in the Limited Warranty document as provided on the Rize Bikes website under the Support section.

Such updates may include, but are not limited to, language, terms, conditions, processes, and requirements. The Limited Warranty is available via various channels, but the copy provided on the Rize Bikes website shall be considered the most current version and the only copy in enforcement.

Warranty Claims: Customer Responsibilities

Verify Replacement Parts Received

When a customer receives replacement parts under warranty, they are responsible for verifying that the parts are correct and must report any discrepancies within 10 business days. Failure to report incorrect parts within this timeframe will result in the closure of the claim and denial of any subsequent claims. Reports of receiving incorrect parts must include:

  • A picture of the incorrect part alongside the part it is meant to replace.
  • If it’s a sizing issue, pictures showing measurements of both the incorrect and the correct parts.
  • A picture of the SKU and/or barcode on the box in which the incorrect part was delivered.
    Reply Within a Reasonable Timeframe
    Customers are expected to respond to communications from a Rize Bikes representative (via phone, text, email, etc.) within a reasonable timeframe, defined as 30 calendar days. Failure to respond within this period will result in the resolution and closure of the warranty claim. Any future claims regarding the same issue, made outside of the limited warranty period, will be denied. If a customer responds within the limited warranty period but after the 30-day timeframe has passed, the case will be reopened and placed at the end of the queue.

      Purchase and/or Service Requirements for eBike Power & Lock Components

      To help combat eBike theft, customers intending to purchase and/or service specific parts and/or accessories must provide proof of purchase for their eBikes. Otherwise, Rize Bikes reserves the right to refuse the sale and/or service of the following items:

      • Batteries, both Primary and Secondary
      • Battery Lock
      • Battery Key
      • LCD

      Return Policy

      For a complete list of products eligible for returns, please refer to the Order Return section of the Return Policy. All returns are subject to the process, conditions, and terms outlined in the Return Policy.

      Please visit this link for the complete Return Policy.

      Exchange

      The customer may request to exchange an eBike within 14 days of receiving it. The eBike must be free of any damage, dirt, dust, stain, or signs of wear and tear and must be in the original packaging and condition in which it was received. In the case of an exchange, the restocking fee is waived; however, the customer is responsible for the return shipping cost and the shipping cost of the replacement eBike. If the exchange results in an excess of payment for the customer, the difference will be credited to the customer in the form of a gift card. Contact Rize Bikes for a quote on the shipping costs when requesting an exchange. The decision to approve or reject an exchange is at the sole discretion of Rize Bikes.

      Refunds and Reimbursements

      Legal Regulations

      It is the customer’s responsibility to check their local laws and regulations before purchasing and operating an eBike. Rize Bikes is not responsible for any fines and/or punishments resulting from the breach of such laws and regulations.

      Street Legality

      In Canada, eBikes are considered street legal if their motor output does not exceed 500 watts and their maximum speed does not surpass 32 km/h. However, customers are obligated to familiarize themselves with local laws and regulations related to eBikes before using them in public areas. Laws and regulations can differ across municipalities, provinces, parks, and public trails. It is crucial to be fully informed about local laws and regulations prior to operating eBikes in public spaces. Rize Bikes bears no responsibility for any fines or penalties incurred due to violations of such laws and regulations.

      Liability Disclaimer

      There are risks associated with the use of any bike that cannot be predicted or avoided and are the sole responsibility of the rider. You are responsible for your own actions while operating an eBike. Rize Bikes is neither responsible nor liable for any accidents or injuries, whether caused by you or others, that may occur during your operation of an eBike. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to determine if your current insurance policy would cover you in the event of an accident.

      Bike Range & Performance

      Please note that information regarding the range and performance of our eBikes are estimates and not guarantees. While Rize Bikes strives to provide accurate information on our eBikes to our customers, there are many factors that contribute to the real range and performance of an eBike, such as the age and condition of the battery, climate, level of pedal assist, speed, payload, and terrain. Depending on the various conditions, it is possible to get less or more than the expected range and/or performance.

However, just as the Rize Bikes staff will treat you with respect and courtesy, we expect the same in return. Staff wellness is essential to us, and Rize Bikes will not tolerate any abusive, threatening, or discriminatory action and/or language toward our staff. We will issue a warning to discontinue service upon the first infraction; however, we reserve the right to terminate all services immediately if the behavior continues.
