1. Introduction
At Arc Line Mobility, we stand behind the quality and craftsmanship of every electric bike we sell. This Warranty Policy outlines our commitment to you, the original owner, and provides clear guidance on coverage for both brand new and pre-owned electric bikes. We’ve designed this policy to be transparent, fair, and compliant with all applicable U.S. federal and state consumer protection laws .
Research shows that approximately 90% of e-bike brands offer a lifetime warranty on frames for the original owner, while limiting electrical and mechanical components to 1–2 years . Our policy reflects these industry standards while adding unique protections for second-hand owners—a segment often overlooked in the e-bike industry.

12. State Law and Consumer Rights
12.1 Your Legal Rights
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state .
12.2 Implied Warranties
TO THE EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ARC LINE MOBILITY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, FOR THE DURATION OF THIS EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY .
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you .
12.3 Limitation of Liability
THE REMEDIES DESCRIBED IN THIS WARRANTY ARE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AND ARC LINE MOBILITY’S ENTIRE LIABILITY FOR ANY BREACH OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. ARC LINE MOBILITY’S LIABILITY SHALL UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEED THE ACTUAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE PRODUCT, NOR SHALL ARC LINE MOBILITY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR LOSSES, WHETHER DIRECT OR INDIRECT .
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you .
12.4 Lemon Law Distinction
Important: Electric bicycles are generally excluded from state lemon laws that apply to motor vehicles. For example:
-
Utah’s New Motor Vehicle Warranties Act explicitly excludes “electric assisted bicycle” from the definition of motor vehicle
-
South Dakota’s lemon law similarly excludes “any electric bicycle” from coverage
This means e-bike warranty disputes are handled under contract law and the terms of this express warranty, not under state lemon law statutes. We are committed to resolving all warranty issues fairly and promptly.
