General terms & conditions

Terms and Conditions

JV Bike's business policies are simple, straight forward, and honest.  They reflect our mission of introducing environmentally friendly and healthy transport alternative to this part of the World.  Bicycles, from Performance Commuters to Hybrid, Comfort, and other Urban models, including Electric, Folding and adult tricycles are a great and very cost effective way of transportation suitable for fitness and for any community. Our goal is to  have a real impact, not just a political speech, or a green propaganda to target particular consumer groups.  We simply want to significantly increase the percentage of the population using two and three wheel vehicles in their everyday life - from going to a neighbourhood grocery store to an everyday commute to work.  This 'simple' goal is not simple at all.  In order to have the majority of the population on our side we know that we have to offer only THE BEST:

The Best Quality  -- we offer only the best quality products.  We would never compromise quality regardless of 'tempting' profit margins.

The Best Choice -- we have the finest choice of two and three wheel human powered, or electrified cycles in this part of Canada.

The Best Price -- we will match the lowest price at any store1 in Canada for any products2 that we offer. Please see our detailed Price Policy here.

The Best Knowledge -- you can always count on our un-biased advice, regardless of if you are buying from us or from somewhere else.  We like the products that we sell, and we want you to feel the same.  Only good products can help to spread this idea of new, fun, and healthy transportation.

The Best Warranty and Exchange Policy - Customer satisfaction is extremely important to us. We will always go a step further from the original manufacturers warranty and policy in order to keep our customer happy and make them enjoy the products we sell for as long as possible.

The Best Bicycle Buying Experience - This means that when you buy a bicycle, or a tricycle, and pick it up from our store we guarantee and provide the following:

  • FREE MAINTENANCE* for as long as you own that bike / trike (free standard tune-ups, and any other adjustments)
  • FREE** accessory and component INSTALLATION at the time of purchase
  • NO LABOUR CHARGES on any WARRANTY WORK

    *Applicable only to Individual Customers for PERSONAL USE ONLY. Commercial Customers and Individuals using a bike or a tricycle for commercial use are not eligible.
    This Policy is not transferable and it is only applicable to the original Customer. The bicycle / tricycle must carry JV Bike sticker. The Policy only applies to products built and adjusted by our mechanics.  The Policy does not apply to shipped products, or products sold as 'un-opened' box.
    **All accessories and components are bought at the JV Bike.

Notes:
1
Please compare only with real, brick-and-mortar, stores.  We definitely cannot compare to countless internet only, and other kind of 'overnight' businesses. We are real and here to stay ... and we are still providing you with the best prices, despite paying a rent in the most expensive real estate in Canada!
2This policy applies to all of our main products - bicycles, folding bicycles, electric bicycles and electric systems, tricycles, and electric tricycles. We cannot include parts and accessories into this policy because there is such a wide variety of similar products, or 'no name' products that it is really hard to determine if they are the same or not. In any case we are doing our best to provide our customers with the best deals for everything that we offer.
