Eight questions to ask any seller
1. Are you an authorized dealer for this brand?
Authorized dealers buy from the brand and can usually handle warranty questions. Ask for proof, or check with the brand.
Radical eBikes: Yes, for the brands we carry.
2. Does the bike come with the manufacturer's warranty, and who handles claims?
Terms differ by brand. Ask what is covered, for how long, and who you call if something fails.
Radical eBikes: Yes. The manufacturer's warranty on every bike we carry. Ask us for the terms on your model.
3. Is the exact model, year and version in the listing?
Brands change motors, batteries and parts between years. Make sure the listing matches what you want.
Radical eBikes: Ask us about the exact version before you order.
4. How is it shipped and what happens if it arrives damaged?
Photograph the box and bike before you sign, tell the seller right away and keep the packaging.
Radical eBikes: We offer fast shipping options to your door. Check the bike on arrival and contact us right away about damage.
5. Is it assembled, or do I need to do the setup?
Many bikes arrive partly assembled. Ask what setup is needed and whether you can get help.
Radical eBikes: Ask us what setup your bike needs before delivery.
6. Who repairs it after the sale?
A bike that cannot be serviced locally becomes a problem fast. Ask where you will take it.
Radical eBikes: We do, in Las Vegas, with pickup and delivery at $50 each way.
7. What are your repair prices for common jobs?
A seller who publishes service prices is easier to trust. Ours are listed on this page.
Radical eBikes: They are on this page and our shop services page.
8. Can I reach a real person with questions?
Customer service before and after the sale matters more than most buyers expect.
Radical eBikes: Yes. Contact us before or after you order.
Red flags when buying a bike online

- No business address, phone number or way to reach a person.
- Pressure to pay by wire transfer, gift card or a payment app with no protection.
- Vague answers about warranty or no mention of who the manufacturer is.
- Photos that do not match the model, year or version in the listing.
- A refusal to say whether the seller is an authorized dealer.
How the manufacturer's warranty works
A manufacturer's warranty usually covers defects in materials and workmanship for a set period. It usually does not cover normal wear such as tires, pads and chains, crashes, water damage or modifications. Terms differ by brand and model. The manufacturer's warranty on every bike we carry, and we can tell you what applies to the Mafia Bikes model you are considering.
