Rover Step-Thru Electric Bike

Our new warranty policy, effective from March 22, 2024, will provide benefits to customers who make purchases from this date onwards, while those who purchased before will continue to receive the one-year warranty.

At Velowave Bikes, we take great pride in the quality and durability of our products. We're confident that you will be impressed as well, and we stand behind all of our products. Every ebike we sell is covered by a limited warranty against manufacturing defects subject to the terms below.

Any items returned in a used condition may be returned within 14 days. However, there is a return shipping fee of $200 per item and a restocking fee of fifty percent (50%) of the purchase price (both deducted from refund), in addition, the customer is responsible for arranging and paying any charges for return shipping, which may vary depending on the shipping company selected. For customers who want to return the product for their own reasons, Velowave will not bear the shipping cost of returning the package. If you customers require Velowave to provide a return label, customers will need to pay an additional return shipping fee.

Customers are encouraged to check with their credit card company and/or bank if the refund has not been posted to their account within three days of being issued.

We provide ebike shipping via FedEx Ground delivery. We offer free delivery for all electric bikes. However, there will be a delivery fee for accessories. Shipping for bikes may vary depending on the shipping address. Bikes will be shipped within 2 business days (excluding weekends and holidays) and may take anywhere from 3-7 business days for delivery, depending on FedEx.

Due to COVID-19, the shipping efficiency of transportation is not stable. If you have other requirement, please contact our customer service about more details, we are happy to help you.
