If theft or damage occurs due to improper parking or locking then you will be responsible for the loss. You must also comply with our return instructions.

Charges for loss and/or damage to the Bicycle:

Renter understands that all charges are not final and are subject to an audit of the returned bicycle. Renter specifically agrees and authorizes Redondo eBikes, Inc. to make any charges by credit card if there is damage beyond normal wear and tear.

b) Bicycle Return:

Returning Your E-Bike: You are responsible for returning the e-bike to Redondo eBikes, Inc. in the same condition you received it, normal wear and tear excepted (this does not include flat tires). It must be returned on time and at the specific location detailed in your rental agreement. We may require the e-bike to be returned sooner if necessary.

Be aware that extra charges may apply if you return the e-bike at a different time, date, or location than agreed upon. Your e-bike is only considered returned once it is personally handed over to a Redondo eBikes representative. If you fail to return the e-bike without notifying us in advance or providing verifiable exceptional circumstances, it will be treated as negligence or theft. In such cases, Redondo eBikes, Inc. may involve law enforcement if we cannot recover damages promptly.

c) Prohibited Use of the Bicycle:

Renter will not use or permit the Bicycle to be used for hire, to be operated in a test, race, or contest, or to be ridden in water, or in any location that operation would be illegal or a nuisance to others. Renter will not use or permit the Bicycle to be used for any illegal purpose. A violation of this paragraph automatically terminates the rental and makes Renter liable to Redondo eBikes, Inc. for any penalties, fines, forfeitures, liens, recovery and storage costs, and any related legal expenses associated with a violation of this paragraph.

d) Damage to Bicycle:

Renter shall pay Redondo eBikes, Inc. for all losses and/or damage to the Bicycle, including theft or vandalism, regardless of fault.

In addition, Renter shall also be responsible for the loss of use, administrative fees, as determined by Redondo eBikes, Inc. or specified by law, plus any towing, pick-up, and/or storage charges. In the event of theft, Renter shall be responsible for paying loss of use at the daily rate for each 24 hours Renter delays in paying the total loss.

Redondo eBikes, Inc. is not responsible if Renter causes injury to another person or if Renter damages another Bicycle, vehicle, or personal property of another.
