- HPC is not liable for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the website, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
2. Orders and Transactions

- All orders are subject to availability and acceptance by HPC. We may contact you to verify order details before processing.
- Prices, products, and specifications are subject to change without notice. Any errors in pricing or product descriptions will be corrected, and HPC reserves the right to cancel orders affected by such errors.
3. Chargeback Protection
- By placing an order, you agree not to initiate a chargeback or dispute with your payment provider unless you have first contacted HPC at hipowercycles@gmail.com and given us sufficient time (minimum 30 days) to settle the dispute.
- A late shipment or missed shipping deadline is not grounds for a chargeback, unless it is over 90 days past the stated deadline that is in writing. Any chargeback filed under these grounds will be deemed as a breach of contract. In such cases, you agree to indemnify HPC for any costs, fees, or losses incurred due to the chargeback, including legal fees and administrative costs.
- HPC will make reasonable efforts to address any concerns regarding your order, including shipment delays, refunds, or replacements, in accordance with our return and warranty policies.
- HPC reserves the right to pursue legal action to recover funds and damages resulting from fraudulent or unjustified chargebacks.
4. Return Policy
- Due to the high degree of customization for each individual customer, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT NO REFUNDS will be given on our bikes, kits, or custom USA made battery systems.
- We hand build our USA made batteries to each individual bike, kit, or standalone battery. The battery building process takes between 2 to 6 weeks depending on the complexity of the battery being built. Due to custom components, allow up to 2-6 weeks before shipment of your order for standard bikes and kits.
- The USA made HPC Revolution may take 4-12 weeks to ship due to custom carbon fiber and complex aluminum machine work. Bikes will be shipped only after they have been paid for in full. For international shipments, be aware that there can be added delays if customs chooses to inspect your package(s).
- Non-custom individual parts and accessories that have NOT been shipped may be refunded minus a 10% restocking fee. Custom parts and accessories not listed on the website will not be refunded.
- In the event of delays of 90 days or more past timelines quoted at the time of purchase (such as delays caused by supply chain issues or manufacturing delays), the customer will be eligible upon request for a full refund minus interchange transaction fee with no further re-stocking fees (i.e., 6 weeks + 90 days for standard bikes and kits, and 12 weeks + 90 days for more complex custom builds/pre-order bikes).
- As an added service for our valued customers, HPC, at their discretion, may offer to sell a new or used HPC bike or kit on consignment:
- For a new bike or kit that has NOT SHIPPED from our facility, HPC will actively market and attempt to sell the bike or kit. HPC will refund the sale price of the bike or kit minus a 20% commission if and when it sells.
- If a customer has a bike or kit that has already been shipped from the HPC facility, we will do a thorough inspection of the bike or kit to make sure it is in sellable condition. If the bike or kit is deemed to be in sellable condition, HPC will actively market and attempt to sell the bike or kit. HPC will refund the sale price of the bike or kit minus a 25% commission if and when it sells. If there are parts that need to be replaced that have physical damage or parts or electronics that are broken and are not covered under warranty, the price of these replacement items will be deducted from the sale price of the bike or kit in question.
- HPC offers no guarantee as to timelines for completing a consignment sale, but will actively work with the customer in regards to pricing strategies needed to facilitate an expedient sale.
- All consignment sales are final! Upon completion of a pre-owned/consignment ebike or kit, the customer who had the item on consignment will be paid out immediately, minus the predetermined commission amount (typically 25%). Due to this nature, there will be no refunds given once the item has been paid for and sold.
5. Storage Policy
- For bikes that have been dropped off and left on site, or bikes that have been converted by HPC and are not picked up from our shop within two weeks of the agreed upon pick up date, HPC will charge a storage fee at the rate of $15/day unless previous arrangements have been made.
6. Warranty
- Electronics purchased directly from HPC (motor, controller, throttle, battery, charger) come with a 3-year limited warranty from the date of shipment.
- Frame Warranty: HPC will cover all manufacturing defects for up to 5 years from the date of delivery. HPC does not warrant damage from crashes, neglected maintenance, negligence, improper use, mismatched parts, or customers who knowingly use their bikes over the weight limit.
- Demo, used, or special bikes come with a 3-month warranty from the date of receipt.
- HPC warrants products to be in good working order during the warranty period. If a product is defective, HPC will provide free warranty service (labor/parts) for the first year.
- Within the first month of ownership, HPC will repair or replace defective products at no cost, including labor and shipping.
- For months 2-12, HPC will repair or replace defective products at no cost, but shipping will be paid for by the customer.
- For months 13-36, HPC will repair all defective products. HPC will cover the cost of the parts to fix the item, and the customer will pay a discounted labor rate (20% off) plus all applicable shipping. In the rare event we are unable to repair the item or the customer wants to purchase a brand new replacement, the customer will pay 50% off the retail price for the new replacement.
- Warranty claims must be submitted with proof of purchase. Contact HPC at hipowercycles@gmail.com for warranty support.

8. Use of Our Products
- Use of HPC products to assemble an electric bike kit, or use of pre-made electric bikes manufactured by Hi-Power Cycles, LLC, MUST be ridden in accordance with all local and federal laws. Systems above 750W that are capable of more than 20 MPH are NOT able to be legally ridden on streets according to federal laws in the United States and many other countries. It is up to the end user to comply with all laws pertaining to the use of these high-powered machines.
- In California, as of July 14, 2025, all e-bikes that can go over 28mph and are not fully factory locked to either 20mph (with throttle) or 28mph (no throttle) MUST be classified as an "Off-road" vehicle, with no class designation given. These bikes are only permitted on private property or OHV riding.
- Misuse of our high-powered kits or bikes can lead to serious injury or even death. User fully understands electric bike recreational riding is an inherently dangerous activity.
- By purchasing an HPC product, the consumer promises to hold harmless Hi-Power Cycles, LLC (DBA "HPC") and its subsidiaries in the event of an accident and promises not to pursue legal recourse. In the event a customer wishes to pursue legal action, he/she is obligated to fully cover all legal defense fees for Hi-Power Cycles, LLC.
- Customer is to fully understand that our most powerful systems (3000W or higher) are not designed to sustain top speeds for more than a short burst. Attempting to sustain top speeds for longer periods of time may result in the system’s temp sensor limiting power, as to protect the system from overheating. It is inherently dangerous and beyond the scope of our manufacturing specifications to sustain top speeds for prolonged periods of time due to numerous variables outside of our control.
- Please be sure to ride safely and within the scope of the law and ALWAYS wear a helmet.
