RECUMBENT BICYCLE RETURNS*

If any recumbent bike or trike purchased from the Hostel Shoppe proves unsatisfactory; you may return it (using the same shipping materials) within two weeks of the delivery date. You will be charged 15% of the purchase price of the bike or trike as a rental/demo fee and we will refund the balance of the bike or trike, less any damage assessments, to you. You will be responsible for freight charges both ways (If you received a shipping discount on your bike or trike, you will pay the original $375 shipping fee plus the return shipping fee). We will refund half the price of any accessories used during the two-week test period. This return policy excludes special orders, electric assist bikes and trikes, and highly customized trikes or bikes. Please call us at 800-233-4340 for a return authorization.

*This guarantee only applies to US residents in the contiguous 48 states. Return guarantee applies to stock configurations only - highly customized, electric assist or modified recumbent bikes and trikes are not returnable. Accessories purchased with your bike are returnable for full value only if unused and uninstalled. Due to Federal regulations, our shipper cannot pick up from a residential address, so your returned bike must be taken to a business address for pick up. Guarantee only applies to new bikes or demo bikes with a warranty. Does not apply to used bikes or trade-ins.
