- How to register warranty for my bike?
Each DARE bike owner is entitled to a three-year warranty (if you register your product within one month of purchase, the warranty will be extended to six years).
1. Through the "Contact Us” page, you can let us know your product’s problems by providing product information or serial number on your warranty card and pictures.
2. Or you can tell us your requests via customer service platforms (FB or LINE) so that we can help you as soon as possible.
- Can I have my old bike repainted?
Whether the bike frame you purchased is brand new or used, to ensure the riding safety for our customers, DARE do not provide any repainting service.
1. After the frame is repainted, we won’t be able to tell if the original frame is damaged or not, which will thus affect how we judge whether the frame is safe.
2. According to the terms and conditions, repainted frame will fall outside of DARE’s warranty. We advise that instead of repainting your bike, you should sell your old bike and purchase a new one.
