Your Right to Cancel
If you are a consumer purchasing online, you have the legal right to cancel your order within 14 days of receiving your goods, without giving a reason.
To exercise this right, you must notify us within the 14-day cancellation period by contacting:
Email: sales@zipbikes.co.uk
Once you notify us of cancellation, you then have a further 14 days to return the item to us.
Condition of Returned Items
Returned items must be:
- In unused and resellable condition
- Complete with all original parts, accessories, manuals, and packaging
- Accompanied by proof of purchase
You may inspect the item as you would in a retail store. However, we may make a reasonable deduction if the value of the item has been reduced due to handling beyond what is necessary to check its nature, characteristics, and function.
For safety reasons, used e-bikes or items showing outdoor use may be subject to deduction or refusal unless faulty.

Once your returned item is received, we will confirm receipt and process any refund in accordance with this policy and applicable consumer law.

Refunds will be processed within 14 days of receiving the returned goods, or within 14 days of receiving proof that the goods have been returned, whichever occurs first
