When you buy a Hybike, the motor is the ONLY thing under warrantee. Like sonji, I had the pedals fall off. (Once in a busy left turn lane where I had to go retrieve parts dodging cars) The Hybike dealers suggestion was to go out & purchase "Lock-Tight" to make sure it didn't happen in the future. Same suggestion for the mirrors loosening all the time. Flat tire in the first week, The Hybike dealers suggestion was to go out & purchase tire goo. The worst problem was the Hybike would stop working in the middle of a ride from the get go! The Hybike dealer reminded me that he only waranteed the motor, but take the bike to some one who can work on Hybikes & well see. Did he have a place for me to go?? NOOOO, I had to research it myself. I took it to three different places before I found a repairman taking a break outside of his bike store. He took an interest & opened up the elec. box on the bike and started fishing through the rats nest of wiring. None of the wires or parts were straped down. He found a wire that had fallen out of its connector, reconnected it, no charge.

The phone number that you call for Hybikes is a cell & if you leave a message, he doesn't call back. If he recognises your number, he will not pick up. Oh, I almost forgot. The battery charger has stopped automatically shutting off after charging the battery. My daughter is complaining that it doesn't go as fast as it did when we first got it.

What a hassel!!!!! Don't buy a Hybike!!!!!!!
