Riding’times Return & Refund Policy
We want you to have a great experience with your new e-bike.
Because e-bikes are large, high-value products with integrated lithium battery systems, they require specialized freight logistics, careful handling, and inspection procedures.
This policy is designed to clearly explain how returns and refunds are handled, ensuring fairness, transparency, and consistent processing for all customers.
1. Order Cancellation
We process orders quickly to ensure fast fulfillment and shipping.
Before Shipment (No Tracking Number Created)
Orders may be canceled for a full refund before a tracking number has been generated.
Please contact support@ridert.com. Our customer service team responds within 24 hours.
After Shipment (Tracking Number Created)
Once a tracking number has been generated and the order has entered carrier scheduling, the shipment process has already started.
At this stage, cancellation is no longer free of charge and is handled as a return request.
A 250 CAD logistics and handling fee will apply to cover outbound freight processing costs.
Important Note on Shipment Processing
Once a courier (e.g., FedEx, UPS) has been scheduled for pickup, the order is considered in active transit preparation, even if it has not physically left the warehouse.
Refused Deliveries
If a shipment is refused without prior authorization, it will be treated as a return in transit.
Applicable costs may include:
- Outbound shipping cost 250 CAD
- Return shipping cost charged by the carrier 250 CAD
- Restocking fee (if applicable based on product condition)
We strongly recommend contacting support before refusing delivery to avoid unnecessary costs.
2. Order Modification
Before Shipment
Order modifications are free of charge.
In Transit
Modifications may not always be possible once the order is shipped. Our team will assist whenever operationally feasible.
After Delivery
No modifications can be made after delivery. Please refer to the return policy below.
3. Returns & Refunds (30-Day Policy)
We accept return requests within 30 days of delivery.
To ensure safe transportation and resale quality, e-bikes must be in resellable condition with minimal usage (generally within approximately 15 km) and within 30 days of delivery.
A. Returns for Personal Reasons (Non-Defective Products)
We do not accept returns for e-bikes that have been heavily used, significantly damaged, or ridden beyond the allowable evaluation period, except in cases of verified quality issues.
Unopened Items (Original Packaging)
A total logistics and handling fee of 500 CAD (250 CAD outbound + 250 CAD return freight) will be deducted from the refund.
This covers heavy freight transportation costs.
Opened
A total logistics and handling fee of 500 CAD + 20% restocking fee will be applied.
The restocking fee covers inspection, repackaging, and quality verification.
Used or Damaged Products (>15 km)
Products showing heavy use, scratches, or damage may not be eligible for return. Final eligibility is determined after inspection.
Recommended Option: Exchange or Store Credit
To provide more flexibility and reduce freight costs, customers may choose:
- Exchange for another model or color
- Store credit instead of refund to original payment method
If store credit is selected, the 20% restocking fee will be waived.
Standard logistics fees still apply.
4. Quality or Damage Issues
If your product arrives with a defect or suffers damage during shipping, we will fully support you.
Step 1: Remote Diagnosis
Photos or videos are required for technical evaluation.
Step 2: Technical Support
We will provide troubleshooting assistance and replacement parts at no cost when applicable.
Step 3: Resolution
If the issue is confirmed to be a manufacturing defect or critical functional failure, we will provide one of the following:

Definition of Critical Damage
Damage that affects normal riding functionality (e.g., frame damage, motor failure).
Not Covered Under Free Return or Replacement
- Minor cosmetic imperfections (e.g., scratches, paint marks)

- Damage caused by improper assembly or maintenance

5. Return Procedure

6. Packaging Requirements
All returns must be securely packed in original packaging or equivalent protective materials.
All accessories must be included (charger, battery, keys, hardware, manuals, etc.).
If original packaging is not available, customers are responsible for arranging suitable protective packaging.
Riding’times is not responsible for damage caused during return transit due to improper packaging.
7. Customer-Arranged Shipping
If customers choose to return items using their own carrier:
- Signature-required shipping is required
- Full insurance is strongly recommended
- Transit risk remains with the customer until delivery is confirmed
8. Non-Returnable Items
- E-bikes used beyond approximately 15 km or 30 days
- Individual parts and accessories
- Custom or special-order products
9. Refund Timeline
Refunds are processed within 7 business days after inspection is completed.
Refunds may be adjusted based on applicable logistics and handling fees and restocking fees.
Processing times may vary depending on banks or payment providers.
