Warranty 

Most of your Voloci motorbike is warranted against defects in materials and 
manufacture for one year from the date of purchase except for the frame and 
batteries. The frame of your motorbike is warranted for 10 years and the 
batteries are warranted for 6 months. 

Nova Cruz will repair or replace at its option your Voloci motorbike if it is defective 
within the warranty period. You are responsible for the cost of transporting or 
shipping your motorbike to an authorized dealer or to the Nova Cruz service facility. 

You must provide proof of purchase to obtain warranty services. 

This warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including wear of brake pads, 
tires, chains, and sprockets. This warranty also does not cover damage due to 
jumping, crashes, submersion in water, or other abusive treatment. 

Removal, modification, or tampering with electrical or electronic components of your 
motorbike without prior authorization from Nova Cruz voids your warranty on those 
components. 

This is a consumer warranty and does not apply to vehicles used in commercial or 
rental applications.

Safety 

 

Not For Children – Adults Only 

The Voloci electric motorbike is designed for adults. It is a high-
performance vehicle that can travel at speeds of up to 30 mph (50kph). 
It is not intended for use by children under age 16. Keep your 
motorbike away from children. Never leave the keys to your motorbike 
where they could be found and used by children. 

 

 

WARNING

:

 The Voloci motorbike is a motor vehicle. Travel via any 

motor vehicle subjects the rider to the risk of accident and injury. 
Serious injury or death is possible as a result of falls, loss of control or 
collisions with other vehicles or objects. 

 

WARNING

:

 The risk of accident and injury is substantially increased 

in wet or icy road conditions. Not only is visibility impaired, but the 
handling, braking, and control of the motorbike is substantially 
diminished. Use great caution when operating your motorbike on wet 
roads. NEVER ride your motorbike in snowy or icy conditions. 

 

 

WARNING

:

 Riding at night or in periods of low light is much more 

dangerous than riding during the daytime. Your visibility and that of 
other drivers is substantially impaired from dusk to dawn. Use great 
caution when operating your motorbike in conditions of low light. 
Always use your head and tail lamps when dark. 

 

WARNING

:

 Riding a motorbike without a DOT-approved helmet 

dramatically increases the risk of head injury and death. Never ride 
your motorbike without wearing a properly fitted and properly adjusted 
helmet. 

 

 

WARNING

:

 The Voloci motorbike is designed for a single rider only. 

Riding with one or more additional passengers is dangerous and may 
result in personal injury to both the driver and passenger.
