My warranty is still valid

If a part that needs to be repaired or replaced is under warranty, you can schedule an appointment for this via My Bizbike. You will not be charged for this. The technician who comes out will assess the warranty. 

My warranty has expired

You can request at home repair or replacement via My Bizbike. Parts that you can install on the bike yourself can be ordered via the Support function on My Bizbike. You will receive the invoice for your order soon afterwards.

*The warranty period always starts from the time of delivery

You can never cancel an appointment or order yourself. For this, you need to contact customer services:

• Leave a message via "My support" on My Bizbike
• Call +32 56 900 655

Delivery

When you schedule your delivery, you can choose the day that best suits you. You cannot choose the exact time. Depending on the supplier, you will receive an email with the estimated time one to three days in advance. Our partners try and stick to that time as closely as possible, but they may occasionally experience delays with another customer or in traffic.

Maintenance or repairs

When you make an appointment, you can choose the day that best suits you. You cannot choose the exact time. Three days before a mobile technician from Bizbike is scheduled to come by, you will receive an e-mail with the estimated time. Our technicians try and stick to that time as closely as possible, but they may occasionally experience delays with another customer or in traffic.

That depends on the brand you want to try out:

Check your bike specifications

On My Bizbike, you have a personal profile page where you can consult all the information about your electric bicycle. It gives you an overview of the model, the parts, and the warranty. You can always change incorrect data.

You can also make changes to your personal information, such as your address and the telephone number Bizbike can contact you on. This is also where you can find your unique customer number. Note: you cannot change your address once the delivery is on its way!

My support

Do you need to order a part or do you have an urgent question? You can contact us 24/7 via this chat function. You will receive a direct answer from our customer service as soon as possible.

The bike is equipped with a motor that gives you electric support up to 25 km/h. This is more than enough for relaxed cycling against the wind or on an incline. Above 25 km/h, motor assistance cuts out so that you never reach a dangerous speed.

The electric bikes that we maintain and repair can carry up to 125 kg. This includes cyclist and luggage.

The battery has a lifespan of about four to five years. If you convert that to the number of times you can charge the battery, it gives you 600 to 1000 charges.

For security reasons, we do not keep spare keys for the bikes we have sold. If you've lost your key, you will have to have a new lock fitted. You can schedule a service date for this via the Support function on My Bizbike.

It is advisable to ride on smooth, well-maintained roads as much as possible. You can cycle on cobblestone, sand or gravel roads, but that demands more of the bike. Non-electrical parts wear out more quickly and the battery may drain faster.

My bike model is earlier than 2017

The number will be engraved in the front of the frame, at the level of the front light.

My bike model is later than 2017

You'll find the serial number at the level of the bottom bracket and the rear wheel axle, on a white sticker. It's below the barcode and always starts with BIZ, VE, VEL or BF.

I haven't yet received a serial number. What should I do?

Don't panic! It's because your bike isn't ready for shipment yet. It will usually be ready one to two days before delivery.

• Front wheel motor: the front wheel motor can be found in the front wheel.
• Mid motor: with a mid motor (in the middle of the frame on the bottom bracket), you always keep your balance.
• Rear wheel motor: The motor is located at the back of the rear wheel (the wheel that drives your bike). Riding with a rear wheel motor feels natural.

The location of your bike motor depends on the make and model. To be certain, check the product page for your bike.

Our bikes are available in the following frame sizes:

Just received your bike? Some tips before you start cycling:

• Is the battery slotted correctly into place?  Turn on the battery. You can then turn on the display as well.
• Start pedalling: the electric assistance should already be switched on. 
• Use the manual gears. This will allow you to cycle uphill easily and prevent parts from being overloaded. Parts will not need to be replaced as quickly.
• The bike provides assistance up to 25 km/h. For safety reasons, there is no assistance when you stop pedalling or brake.
• When you are cycling, focus on the road, not the display. Adjust your speed to the traffic and weather conditions.
• After 10 minutes of inactivity, the battery and display will turn off automatically.
• Buy a sturdy second lock and always secure your bike, both indoors and outdoors.

• You can charge the battery up to 600 times. On average, this corresponds to a period of 4-5 years.
• Store your battery in a dry and protected place at room temperature.

Request your annual maintenance. Maintenance costs €49, excluding any replacement parts.  You pay for it with Bancontact.

There are different ways to request maintenance.

Are you new to Bizbike? Then request your free first maintenance worth €49. This can be done within 500 km or within 6 months of delivery, whichever comes first. Have you had the bike for a while? Bizbike recommends that you service your electric bicycle at least once a year.

Order a new part via "My support" on My Bizbike

• As soon as the payment has been received, we will send the part. Currently it takes 5-10 days.
• The new part is not covered by warranty.

My Bizbike Schedule an appointment via "My appointments" on My Bizbike

• A mobile technician from Bizbike comes by to replace the part.
  
• The mobile technician also decides whether or not the new part is covered by the warranty.

You can make an appointment in several ways.

These prices include transportation and VAT but exclude any parts that need to be replaced. You can pay with your bank card via our mobile payment terminal or with cash. Eco vouchers are not accepted.

The mobile technician does not have the part to hand

• A Bizbike employee will send a request for a new appointment as soon as possible. If you accept it, another technician will come along with the correct part.
• Has maintenance already been performed? Then you pay the technician on site.
• Did the technician not perform any maintenance? Then you don't have to pay.

The mobile technician cannot help you

• In rare cases, the technician cannot help. Then, we will schedule a time to collect the bike.
• If you accept the collection request, Bizbike will pick up the bike for free.
• Once the bike has been repaired in the Bizbike workshop, you will receive another request, this time for delivery.
  
• Sometimes it can take a while before your bike can be repaired because the defective part is not in stock. In that case, it never hurts to contact customer service for an update on the repair. You can do this via "My support" on My Bizbike.

• The average waiting time for a repair is 7 to 14 days, depending on the region, type of repair, and time of year. That can sometimes be a little longer.
• What about urgent repairs? We do our very best to come by and solve the problem as soon as possible. In that case, contact us via "My support" on My Bizbike or at +32 56 900 655.

• You do not have to register a normal electric bicycle. You have to register a speed pedelec.
• Insurance for an electric bicycle is not mandatory but recommended. This way you are protected in a number of cases, such as accidents and theft. With a speed pedelec you always need insurance.

• The bike is equipped with a motor that gives you electric support up to 25 km/h. After that, the motor support is cut off. This allows you to easily cycle into the wind or on a slope, without your bike going at a dangerous speed.
• Furthermore, our bicycles are equipped with brakes specially designed for electric bicycles. This way you always come to a safe stop!

A helmet is not mandatory on an electric bicycle, but it is recommended. It is mandatory to wear a helmet on a speed pedelec! You can reach speeds of up to 45 km/h.

• It is best to schedule an appointment for this.
  
• Our technician will come by on the agreed day and prepare the estimate.
• You provide this estimate to your insurance agent.
  
• Repairs can only be carried out with the written agreement of your insurance company. Make an appointment for that too.

Is your bike not insured? Good and bad news: we can immediately proceed with repair, but unfortunately you bear the costs yourself.

• Stay attentive while cycling.
• Wear bright colours that are more clearly visible. You can't go wrong with reflective clothing - especially a high visibility jacket.
• If it rains, you should be extra careful. Adjust your speed, and be extra careful when cycling over slippery surfaces such as sewer covers.
• Make sure your bicycle is in great working condition. Feel free to schedule a maintenance service.
