This warranty applies to any PEVs sold on our website, it does not apply to accessories, chargers, parts, performance parts and vehicles sold under the RION and Tronic brand (See Performance Vehicle Warranty below).

2EUC Motor bearings and shock internals are also considered a consumable item but we will cover bearing swaps for the first six months.
3Mis-use and mishandling includes, but is not limited to: damage from fast charging, damage from exceeding the vehicle's weight and/or speed, misuse of the battery, or improper maintenance (the battery should not be stored at empty or full charge for long periods of time.)
4When customer bricks their firmware on an EUC we need to have you call/ email in and do some troubleshooting. There is a way with some wheels to force an update (Gotway). We may require you to ship in your old board so we can flash it in-house with Firmware updating hardware. This may take a few days plus transit. For those who choose to modify firmware with third-party firmware, this will void all Alien Rides warranty.

6AlienRides 9 amp fast chargers have only 12 month warranty. Customer must ship back for RMA/Warranty inspection. If it is determined that charger was blown due to improper use (240/120V selector switch) we will void warranty.
7Brake pads are consumable and not covered under warranty. Defects in the brake lever or caliper, such as leaks, may be covered for the first 60 days only, they are not covered after the first 60 days.
We have many customers bring in their wheels with modifications for additional loads on battery such as audio or lights. If you use a third party light that draws power from any 5V/12V or main battery buss line, all warranty for electrical components will be VOIDED.
Alien Rides will provide remote diagnostic and guidance services to fix your PEV once you have the parts that we send. We can also compensate you for local repairs when a quote is approved in advance. When video guidance is not desired, we will repair your PEV free of charge at the warehouse. For domestic orders where this is necessary we will require the customer to pay for one way shipping, and we will pay to ship it back. International orders must repair themselves or take it to a local repair shop.
We try to stock a variety of parts, but occasionally parts will run out. We will do our best to order these parts from the manufacturer.
Our warranty is transferable a single time, but the original owner must notify us of any transfer details, and we must register the warranty under the new owner.
All original parts must be returned and inspected before any warranty claims will be processed.
For warranty claims, please fill out the below form and we will be in touch ASAP.
Labor performed at our shop is free. Labor performed at third party repair shops may be reimbursed, but only if we receive pricing and statement of work ahead of time and provide authorization.
