• If you must park outdoors in rain, or wet conditions you should only leave your KBO Bike outside for a few hours and proceed to park the bike in a dry location afterwards to allow all the systems to dry out. Much like a regular bike, use in wet conditions mandates a more regular maintenance schedule to ensure your bike does not become rusty, corroded and to ensure all systems are always working safely.
3-5 years of regular use. If your battery does not seem to be charging normally, and taking longer to charge than expected, please discontinue charging and contact KBO Bike immediately.

Wear and tear is not covered under warranty. KBO Bike lithium-ion batteries are warranted to be free from manufacturing defects in materials and/or workmanship for a 2-year period from the date of original purchase. The battery warranty does not include damage from power surges, use of improper charger, improper maintenance or other such misuse, normal wear or water damage.
Components of the KBO Tornado Step-Thru are subject to higher wear when compared to bicycles without power assistance. This is because the KBO Tornado Step-Thru can travel at higher average speeds than regular cycles and has a greater weight. Higher wear is not a defect in the product and is not subject to warranty.
