Aventon Warranty Policy
RIDE AVENTON, INC.-LIMITED WARRANTY TERMS
WARRANTY TERMS SPECIFIC TO E-BIKES
Aventon warrants that all new electric bicycles (“e-bikes”) and main components therein sold by an authorized Aventon Bikes retailer are warranted to the original retail purchaser against manufacturing defects in materials and/or workmanship for all electrical components for a period of two (2) years from the date of original retail purchase. This two year extended warranty from Aventon is only for electric bicycles purchased on or after March 15th, 2023. All electric bicycles purchased prior to this date are subject to Aventon’s original one year warranty.
This Limited Warranty (“Warranty”) is issued by Ride Aventon, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Aventon”). It applies to the products listed below purchased in the U.S. or Canada on or after March 15, 2023 (the “Product(s)”) and is provided at no extra charge. Your rights under this Warranty are in addition to and separate from your legal rights as a purchaser of the Product which may vary state in the United States. This Warranty does not affect these rights.
Before your first ride, please read the manual(s) provided with each Product. They contain important safety information and information about assembly, use, and maintenance. Aventon also recommends registering your Aventon bicycle upon purchase at www.aventon.com. While registration is not required to take advantage of this Warranty, it will allow Aventon to provide you with better service in the future.
As explained in more detail below, Aventon warrants the Products for a limited time from the date of original retail purchase against defects in materials and workmanship when used normally in accordance with Aventon’s published guidelines. The guidelines include, but are not limited to, information contained in technical specifications, user manuals and service communications. “Original retail purchase” means the Product was purchased new for the first time from an Authorized Aventon Retailer or directly from Aventon. Partial warranty coverage can be transferred to subsequent owners, as detailed below.

THIRD-PARTY COMPONENTS ON AVENTON-BRANDED BICYCLES
There may be an applicable warranty from the third-party manufacturer for non-Aventon components, such as drivetrain, brakes, or suspension parts. For Warranty information for third-party components please visit the manufacturer’s website for more information of these products. Third-party components are not covered by this Warranty. Your Authorized Aventon Retailer will be able to provide you with more information.
SUBSEQUENT OWNER CONDITIONS
Yes. The warranty period is always calculated from the date of original retail purchase and Aventon needs to be able to determine when and where the Product was purchased originally. Proof of purchase should be obtained from the original owner or the Authorized Aventon Retailer who sold the Product.
TERMS OF WARRANTY
To take advantage of this Warranty, a dated proof of original retail purchase must be presented to Aventon. Proof of original retail purchase is needed whether you are the original retail purchaser or subsequent owner. In all events, Aventon reserves the right to limit warranty service to the country where the Product was purchased. During the duration of the Warranty, Aventon will either repair the Product or, at Aventon’s option, replace it with the same or most similar Product then available. That is because we do not keep inventory forever, so we may not have the exact replacement part or exact color available. If the Product is replaced, it needs to be returned to Aventon before the replacement is provided unless otherwise agreed to by Aventon in writing. You will not be charged for shipping the Product to Aventon or receiving any replacement product incurred in processing the Warranty.
UNCOVERED ITEMS
This Warranty is void under the following circumstances and does not apply to damage caused by any of the following occurrences:
Improper assembly or installation
Crash, neglect, improper repair, improper maintenance, or other abnormal, excessive, or improper use
Corrosion
Improper alteration or installation of components, parts or accessories not originally intended for or compatible with the Product; or
Failure to perform maintenance or service at appropriate intervals in accordance with the written instructions provided with the Product
If you are unsure if it covered, please contact customer experience.
WEAR AND TEAR
Wear and tear refers to damage that naturally and inevitably occurs as a result of normal riding. For example, your cassette and chain will, even if properly maintained, eventually wear out requiring replacement. The same applies to scratches and other potential damage to the paint or graphics of your bicycle that can result from normal use and exposure to the elements. Your bicycle may over time also develop minor creaks or other noises while riding which usually means it requires maintenance. Wear and tear items are not covered by this Warranty. The following is a non-exhaustive list of other typical wear and tear items not covered by this Warranty:
Bearings
Brake Pads
Chains
Free Hub Bodies
Handlebar Grips
Rubber moving parts
Shifter, brake cables and casings
Spokes
Sprockets
Stripped threads/bolts
Tools
