Here we have summarised the most frequently asked questions for you.
Order & Test Drive
You can place your order directly with us in our shops or with our official partners, online or by e-mail.
We will then check stock and accessory availability and confirm your order personally with the expected delivery date.
Of course, we not only offer free test drives in our stores, but we also have a European-wide partner network, through which we can organize test drives near you!
No, at the moment we only sell complete bikes.
Payments & Delivery
For commercial customers and in some individual cases, we offer the possibility to start production with a down payment and to pay the balance upon delivery. In addition, our bikes can also be ordered via Leasing. We will be happy to prepare individual offers for this.
It is possible but only for pre-orders. If you want to order a bike we can arrange a payment plan for you via Bank transfers, but the balance needs to be settled before shipment.
You may have spotted it already on our website, some of our customers are lucky enough to order their bike as a pre-order.
But, what does it mean exactly you may ask? It’s simple: when you purchase your new e-bike as a pre-order, it means we don’t have all the parts necessary for the assembly of your bike in our factory.
Practically, what does it mean for you? Well, it means you will get a discount. And like most things in life, the bigger the discount, the longer the wait for your bike.
If this is the case, please send an email to [email protected] with your name and location and we will see if we can give you a custom shipping quote.
Our e-bikes are delivered in a large special box almost ready to ride. Only minor adjustments to the handlebars and the assembly of the pedals and the side stand are necessary (necessary tools are included).
If required, we will be happy to guide you personally by phone through the approx. 5-minute set-up process!
When your bike arrives, please be careful when unpacking. If necessary, cut open the cardboard box, then you can roll the bike out. However, be careful with the rear part, as the rear light is mounted exactly where you would automatically grab it and the rear light cannot carry a lot of weight. Better keep it on the side a little. The rear part is also much heavier as this is where the battery is packaged.
When cutting open the cable ties on the handlebars, be careful not to drop the handlebars. A hexagon 10 (classic IKEA key) is required to mount the handlebars. Please tighten very, very firmly.
The pedals are marked with R and L. A size 15 or 16 wrench is required for fitting.
The battery should be charged.
In case you have any questions or questions that need to be answered immediately, you will have a personal account manager that will help you.

Passenger transport and multi-seat driving
Yes!
This is the case with all UNI MK and UNI SWING!
The frame and the seat of these bikes are specially calculated and designed for two-seater operation. The maximum load is 150kg for Uni MK Classic and The Swing models
Of course, there are restrictions in operation (hill performance, speed, braking distance, wear).
Of course! Our e-bikes allow, depending on the model, to accommodate one or two children in the front or back of the long seat as long as they are transported in safety. For toddlers / babies we offer child seats and foot protectors.
Of course, children can also be taken along in approved children's transport trailers.
Warranty & Guarantee
Warranty and guarantee refer to two different types of claims. If an e-bike does not meet the specified quality after purchase and has defects, the customer is entitled to a statutory warranty. The claim only applies if the defect is not self-inflicted.wear parts take a special position in the warranty. Warranty claims remain valid even in warranty cases.
The customer has a statutory warranty claim of 2 years. This applies to material, production and design defects. Since January 2022, the burden of proof lies with the dealer/manufacturer in the first 12 months From of purchase. He guarantees that his product is free of defects when the contract is concluded. From The so-called "reversal of evidence" applies from the 13th month. Now the burden of proof lies with the consumer.
We provide 2 years EU consumer warranty and 1 year on electronic components. Wear parts such as brakes, gears and grips are excluded from the regular warranty, unless there is a production defect. For commercial use, the warranty is based on the respective warranty defined in the order.
The warranty is offered voluntarily by manufacturers and dealers and usually refers to the functionality or durability of certain components over a certain period of time. Since the warranty is a voluntary, manufacturer-dependent benefit, it can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Conditions, duration and scope are thus determined by the manufacturer. A warranty can in no case reduce or replace the warranty.
We offer to repair damaged main frames within this period or to exchange them for frames of equal value. It does not have to be an identical frame.
A special warranty situation arises in the case of wear parts. This is because wear parts are not covered by the warranty if they have "worn out" through use. Here is an example: The bicycle has been delivered to the customer without defects. Within the first 6 months, the brakes, for example, are subjected to heavy use, so that the brake pads are worn down and have to be replaced. In this case, the brakes are not subject to warranty, as it represents normal wear and tear through use of the bicycle.
In particular, the following parts are considered wear parts: Batteries, brake discs, brake pads, bushings, seals and bearings in chassis parts (fork, shock), rims (for rim brakes), grips, bottom bracket, chain, chainrings, bearing sets for full-suspension frames, hub and engine bearings, tires, sprockets, headset, cables, saddle, seat posts and tires.
Furthermore, a separate right of withdrawal applies to purchases in the online store. The buyer may revoke the purchase contract within 14 days without giving any reason. The revocation obligation begins on the day after the ordered goods have been received by the customer. In order to make use of the right of withdrawal, the declaration of withdrawal must be received by the seller by e-mail, mail or fax within 14 days From delivery. The right of withdrawal does not apply if the customer has previously been able to physically test the products, but only for unseen goods.
Sizing, adjustment of components and a test ride are important and advisable. If you do not fit or like the bike, we will have it picked up free of charge by a freight forwarder after your revocation. A storage of the box is important. When returning the bike, please note that it must remain unused and as new. So the wheel may be tried, but not used.
If you have mechanical issues with your bike, it’s usually easiest to take it to your local bike shop for help.
Bafang-Shops
Our bikes are built with parts from the biggest brands in the world but in a very modular way. We have a Bafang motor (whose EU headquarters are in Amsterdam), Shimano gear system and Tektro brakes, Hailong battery with Samsung Cells (which is standard on many e-bikes), Bafang display, and Higo-Connectors. If a shop knows e-Bikes, they will recognize these parts and can easily fix them.
Video-Troubleshooting
Our bikes can also often be fixed by you or with our help. There are 4 critical parts that need to be checked and we have spare parts that can be sent throughout Europe.
Partner-Shop-Network
We are building a partner network with shops that are also able to fix our bikes and that we can send our customers to and therefore give them more reassurance.
Last resort: Postal service
Our logistics partner (Dachser Logistics) will come to pick up the bike for €150.- and bring it to us, we check it here and send you back a fixed bike. This will take 3 weeks until it is back with you. You will get the money back in case the issue falls under the product guarantee - like a burned wire or connector (which is very unlikely).
Technical questions & accessories
250W/500 W
This is the legal limit in the EU for the bike to be legally a bicycle (EPAC) - everything more is counted as a speed pedelec and needs a license and insurance.
500W/750W
This is only legal in Portugal, Italy, Switzerland & Austria for EPACs. It means a little more top speed max. legal speed in Europe is 25km/h for all E-bikes. and more power on the hills.
750W
This motor (750W) is only street-legal in Portugal & Denmark.
Customers outside these countries will have to sign a legal waiver before delivery, pledging not to use this bike outside their private property. This is basically an electric motorcycle. It gets anyone up a hill with no pedaling. But especially in northern countries, this is highly illegal on public roads without type approval, license, and registration. If you live in the countryside with no police and a lot of non-public roads, it's fun to ride. But really not a bicycle anymore...
The bikes are limited to 25 km/h and 250 W max. continuos power.
All technical data is the same for both models. The frame is different, this leads to a different riding experience depending on the model.
The SW-Series has a low step-in. This makes it easier to get on and off, especially when carrying a heavy load.
Mechanical brakes are usually enough for most people. Hydraulic brakes are more direct, always brake on exactly the same pressure and don't make a grinding noise when you pull the lever.
50 Rebels e-bikes - R-Series and V-Series - are calculated for a total load of 135 kg and can even withstand a lot more in practice.
Uni MK Classic and the Swing e-bikes are calculated for a total load of 150 kg and can even withstand a lot more in practice.
A UNI MK/Swing weighs between 29 kg and 33 kg, depending on the equipment.
A R-Series/ V-Series model weighs around 29kg in their standard spec.
The UNI MK /SW comes in one frame size and can be comfortably ridden by riders between 155cm and 195cm tall. People can easily adjust like in a motorcicle.
The UNI Swing is designed for a body height of 150 cm to 190 cm. Some members of our community even exceed the 2 metre height mark and ride comfortably on the UNI MK. Nevertheless, we recommend taking a test ride to ensure your own comfort.
We have developed our e-vehicles for a global market and only use proven and globally available branded products from leading manufacturers in our production.
This not only ensures the long-term supply of spare parts, but also enables our customers to have their e-bikes serviced by any qualified e-bike mechanic! We also work together with a network of workshops.
We keep all spare parts for our bikes in stock. But even if we should no longer exist, the supply of spare parts is guaranteed:

For legal reasons, we do NOT offer tuning or performance-enhancing accessories and expressly point out that performance-enhancing measures invalidate any warranty and result in the loss of the operating permit on public roads.
We have a thumb throttle that we can add to your 50 Rebels e-bike, that is not a problem. It can be added per plug&play, as the connector is already on the bike. You will have to sign a document saying that you know the use of a thumb throttle is illegal when used on public roads in the EU.
We reserve the right not to give a warranty on the engine if the thumb throttle is installed. if you have further questions regarding this please contact us: [email protected]
Yes. 50 Rebels e-bikes have a regular 7-speed gearbox and Uni Mk and The Swing e-bikes have a regular 9-speed gearbox and can also be ridden very well on flat terrain without any power at all.
Once you receive your order we will let you know by e-mail.

Yes, you can remove the battery in one easy step and charge and store it at home or in the office!
Our batteries contain high-quality Samsung cells. However, an e-bike battery is still a wearing part and loses about 20-25% of its original capacity within 700-1000 charging cycles From.
One charge cycle is a full charge from 0-100%.
