Non-Returnable Items
- Engine Kits & Engine-Ready Bicycles:
For safety and regulatory reasons, engine kits and engine-ready bicycles are non-returnable once gasoline or any fuel has been added, or if the engine has been operated. - Once fuel has been introduced or the engine run, these items are classified as hazardous materials and cannot be shipped via UPS, FedEx, USPS, or any standard carrier under federal law.
- Do not attempt to return any engine kit or engine-ready bicycle that has been fueled or used, as we are legally unable to accept or process these returns.
- Custom-built or special-order items are also non-returnable.
Closeout & Discontinued Items
All closeout or discontinued items are excluded from warranty replacements. We do not keep replacement parts for these items on hand. Bicycle-engines.com does not offer returns, exchanges, or warranties on closeout or discontinued items.
Shipping Restrictions for Fueled Products
Federal regulations prohibit the shipment of any product that has contained gasoline or other flammable liquids. Attempting to ship such items via common carriers is illegal and may result in fines or penalties.
If you have added fuel to your product, do not attempt to return it by USPS, FedEx, UPS, or any standard carrier.
Warranty Service for Fueled/Used Engines
If your fueled or used engine kit or engine-ready bicycle requires warranty service, please contact our customer service team for instructions. Do not ship any item that has contained fuel.
