get damaged during shipping. You are well advised to inspect your product(s) immediately upon 
receiving them. In the unfortunate event that you find any damage to your product(s), take photos 
from different angles, keep all packaging and paperwork, and contact Snapcycle by email at 
[email protected] immediately. Please take note that we will not accept shipping damage

WARRANTY CLAIMS

Snapcycle via email to [email protected] . Please do not attempt to repair or replace it 
yourself before contacting Snapcycle, as doing so may void your warranty and cause consequential 
damages to your ebike, undermining its safety and reliability.

videos for easy understanding. Upon receiving your claims, our dedicated customer service team will 
firstly provide remote assistance to you via email/calls as there might be an easy fix to your

with clear instructions for returning the defective parts, and receiving the replacement. Shipping 
charges are to be borne by the customers. It is at the full discretion of Snapcycle to determine if a 
defective component is covered by this limited warranty.
