GhostbikesWarranty
Warrantyfrequentlyaskedquestions...

Whendoesmywarrantystart?
Yourwarrantystartsfromthedayyoucollectortakedelivery,whetherthe
machinehasbeenusedornot.

WhatwarrantydoIgetwithmynewmachine?
Yougetaaninitial7daysfullwarranty,inwhichtimeallbonafidewarranty
issueswillbefreeofcharge.Afterthisperiodwewillstillassistwithproblems
butallpartsandserviceworkwillbechargeable.

Whyisthewarrantyperiodsoshort?
PitBikesaredesignedforlightoff‐roaduse,preferablyinthedrycombined
withalevelofongoingmaintenance.Unfortunatelymostmachinesareusedin
anyweatherconditionsandonanysurfacewithoutanymaintenance.This
createsawarrantyproblemforsuppliersandmanufacturersalike.
Themachinesareveryserviceableandthepartsarerelativelylowcost,and
aresimilarinmanywaystopedalbikeswhichmakethemrelativelyeasyto
workon,manycustomersprefertorepairthemachinesthemselvesasitis
appreciatedthatmostproblemsariseduetousebeyondthemachines
limitations.


WhatpartsareNOTcoveredundermywarranty?
Basicallypartsthateithermoveorthatwearthroughuse.Itisimpossibleto
ascertaintheamountofuseamachineorparthashadandwhatlevelof
maintenancethemachineorparthasreceived.APitBikecouldhavedone
over100hoursuseeasilyinonemonth,ifusedalot,that'sabout6years
equivalentuseofsayalawnmowerorstrimmer.Thereforepartsnotcovered
atanytimeunderwarrantyareasfollows:
•Chains/Belts
•Sprockets
•Tyres/Innertubes
•Wheels
•Clutches/Levers
•Plasticcowlings
•Throttle/Brakecables
•Switches
•Batteries
•Brakehandles/brakepads/brakedrums
•Brakecalipers
•Carburetor
•EngineGaskets
•Fueltanks
•Steeringstems
•Bearings
•Pullcords/innerstarterflanges
•Cutoff/starterswitches

informeddecisionbeforetheypurchase.
