Warranty

Warranty Terms and Conditions Summary.

Please be aware that this is an informal summary of some of the Warranty Terms and Conditions and thus is not necessarily a detailed representation of them. Please see the Warranty Terms and Conditions for more detail.

This is a warranty against possible manufacturing defects for electric bicycles, electric tricycles, electric scooters, electric mobility scooters and other similar products sold by Chituma Australia Pty Ltd. The warranty periods are:

• 2 years for the frame. Note that forks are not part of frame.
• 1 year for the electric parts. Note that this excludes misuse/abuse and water damage – for example, riding through the surf or rain.
• 3 months if the product is used commercially.

In general, it is the customer’s responsibility to return and redeliver the item. The warranty is only valid for the original purchaser and an invoice or other suitable proof of purchase must be produced.

There can be confusion as to what kind of items are covered by warranty. Here are some common examples of items which are not covered by the warranty:

• Minor scratches, marks or imperfections which do not significantly impact the performance and safety of the
• Damage due to external causes – for example, damage by negligent use incorrect use and tampering with the battery pack, damage by traffic accidents and damage during any transportation. In the event that a product is damaged in transit, please report it within 3 days of receiving and we will work with you on a solution.
• Damage due to normal wear and tear or maintenance. Items which normally wear are not covered – these include tyres, tubes, brakes, brake pads, wheel spokes, derailleur tuning, gear adjustments, bottom bracket tightening and handlebar adjustments.
• If the bike doesn’t reach top speed, this is not covered by warranty. Likewise, if the distance per charge is not as advertised, this is also not covered by warranty as the advertised values are only estimates. In addition to that, batteries lose capacity naturally.
• Poor maintenance and any modifications to the product or components.
• Noise, e.g. squeaking noise or vibration noise.
• Variations between products of identical models. For example, when the speed on low, medium and high pedal assist varies, or when the power output varies. Chituma Australia Pty Ltd does not guarantee that the performance of two identical models is exactly the same – there will always be some natural variations.
