Warranty

Warranty Terms and Conditions Summary

Warranty against possible manufacturing defects for Vamos electric bikes, 2 years warranty for frame (forks are not part of frame), 2 years for all electric parts. This excludes misuse/abuse and water damage e. g. riding through deep water. It is the customers responsibility to return and redeliver the item. This warranty is only valid for the original purchaser and receipt must be produced. This is accepted by the owner.

 Examples of items which are not covered by the warranty:

• Small scratches, marks or small imperfections which do not impact the overall performance of the product or its safety
• Damage due to external causes, e.g. damage by negligent use, rust from being left outside, tampering with the battery pack or controller box, damage by road accidents and damage during any transportation, e.g. by couriers. If a Vamos product has been at all damaged during shipping please report it urgently within 14-days of receiving and we come to a solution.
• Wear and tear items which are not covered include tyres, tubes, brakes, brake pads, wheel spokes, dérailleur tuning, gear adjustments, bottom bracket tightening, handlebar adjustments.
• If the Vamos bike doesn't reach the advertised top speed this unfortunately is not covered by the warranty along with the advertised distance it covers. There is a large number of factors including weight of the individual along with hills and use of throttle which could factor on the bike not reaching top speed or intended distance. Batteries lose capacity overtime. The advertised Amp Hours of our battery is an estimate and will match most other estimates of competing companies.
• Poor maintenance and any modifications to the product or components.
• Noise, e.g. squeaky noise, vibration noise.
• It is accepted by the customer that there could be variation between two identical models, for instance if the speed on low, medium and high pedal assist may vary and/or that the power output varies. Vamos does not guarantee that the overall performance of two exact same models is precisely the same as there may be some natural differences.
