Refund policy

You have 30 days from delivery to request a return or an exchange. If something is wrong with your order, we fix it at no cost to you. If you simply changed your mind, a return fee applies, and everything below tells you exactly what to expect before you buy.

HOW TO START A RETURN

  1. Email support@burchdabikes.com within 30 days of delivery with your order number and the reason for the return. For any fault or damage, please include photos or a short video.
  2. We reply within 1 business day and confirm whether your return is approved, along with any fee that applies.
  3. Once approved, we email you a return label and instructions. Please ship the return within 7 days of receiving the label.
  4. When the return arrives, we inspect it and process your refund.

All returns must be approved by our support team first. Items sent back without approval, or after the 30-day window, may be refused or returned to you at your cost. Batteries are subject to lithium shipping rules, so please wait for our instructions before sending one back.

IF SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH YOUR ORDER

These situations are always on us. There is no return fee, and no restocking fee.

  • Damaged in transit: take photos before unpacking further and email us within 48 hours of delivery. Please keep the original packaging until the case is closed, as carriers require it for their investigation. If you bought Shipping Protection at checkout, your claim is handled under that coverage.
  • Wrong item delivered: choose a free exchange for the correct item or a full refund. You can also keep the item you received and settle the price difference either way.
  • Damaged or missing accessories: we send free replacement parts, or you can accept a partial refund.
  • Package lost or undeliverable: we open an investigation with the carrier. Once it is resolved, choose a free resend or a full refund.

Quality issues

For a fault with the bike itself, our first step is free warranty service, which includes free replacement parts, technical repair guidance and pre-approved repairs at a local shop, reimbursed in full. We do not accept direct returns for issues that can be repaired.

  • How it works: send us photos or a video of the problem, and photos of the item in its original packaging if it is still unopened. We diagnose the issue and supply the parts you need at no charge. Full details are in our Warranty Policy.
  • Severe issues: a return or full refund for a quality reason is limited to cases we cannot resolve through warranty service, such as a severe safety hazard. If we approve one within 30 days of delivery, the return or exchange is free.
  • After 30 days: quality issues are handled through warranty service, or through a partial refund or exchange where that is the better fix. Returns are not available after 30 days.

IF YOU CHANGED YOUR MIND

Returns for any other reason are accepted within 30 days of delivery, with the fee below deducted from your refund. The fee covers the cost of shipping the item out to you and bringing it back, plus handling.

E-bikes and electric dirt bikes

  • Unopened, or under 10 miles on the odometer: a flat $300 per bike. The bike must be free of wear, dirt or signs of use and include all original accessories, such as the charger, keys and hardware.
  • Used, or over 10 miles on the odometer: a 30% restocking fee based on the purchase price.
  • Missing accessories or damage that was not there at delivery are deducted from the refund on top of the fee above.

Parts and accessories

Items must be unused, in their original packaging, with all tags and parts included.

Item Return fee
General small items, such as standard replacement parts $20 per item
Front and rear basket, front rack, pannier bag $30 per item
Large items, such as front fork, rear rack, mudguards $40 per item
Replacement batteries $50 per item

EXCHANGES

Want a different color or a different model? An exchange is available within 30 days of delivery, as long as the bike is unopened or unused, with under 10 miles on the odometer and all original accessories included.

  • Same model, different color: $200 per bike.
  • Different model: $200 per bike, plus the price difference. If the new model costs less, we refund the difference.
  • After 30 days: exchanges are not available.

PRICE PROTECTION

If the price of an item you bought drops on burchdabikes.com within 30 days of your order date, email support@burchdabikes.com within those 30 days and we refund the difference to your original payment method.

  • We compare the price shown on the product page for the same model, color and configuration, including automatic sale pricing.
  • Discount codes, free gifts and bundle offers are not included.
  • All prices are compared in US dollars, the currency charged at checkout.
  • One price protection refund per item.
  • Prices listed in error, prices on other websites or marketplaces, and orders that were cancelled, returned or refunded are not eligible.

NON-RETURNABLE ITEMS

  • Items marked Final Sale on the product page.
  • Gift cards, giveaways and free gifts.
  • Special orders and customized items, where the terms are agreed with you in writing before payment.
  • Items bought from a reseller or marketplace rather than burchdabikes.com. Please contact the store you bought from.
  • Items damaged after delivery by accident, misuse, or assembly, service or modification that does not follow our manual.
  • Perishable goods, personal care goods, hazardous materials, flammable liquids and gases. Pre-approved e-bike batteries are exempt from this restriction.

REFUNDS

Physical return required. The item must reach our warehouse before any refund is released. Keeping the product while requesting a refund, including opening a bank dispute or chargeback before the item is returned, is a breach of this policy, and we reserve the right to recover the value of the unreturned goods.

Inspection. When your return arrives, we check it for unauthorized damage, missing components and signs of use, then confirm whether the refund is approved and what will be deducted.

Timing. Approved refunds are issued within 3 business days of that decision. Funds usually reach your account 5 to 10 business days after we issue the refund, depending on your bank. If it has been longer than that, email us and we will chase it with you.

Method. Refunds go back to the original payment method. Orders paid by bank transfer are refunded to the account the payment came from. We cannot refund to a different card or account.

QUESTIONS

Not sure whether a return is the right move? Email support@burchdabikes.com and we will reply within 1 business day. Many fit, setup and performance concerns can be solved without sending the bike back, and that costs you nothing.
