Once an order has been placed and paid for, it is not possible to cancel it. This is because the process of handling your order starts immediately to ensure fast delivery. Here is important information regarding the cancellation policy and your rights as a customer:

Why can't I cancel my order?

Immediate order processing: Once you have completed your order and payment, an order number is generated automatically. Your order number is sent directly to our supplier to prepare and pack your order for delivery as quickly as possible.

What can I do if I no longer want the product?

Even though you cannot cancel your order, as a customer you have a 14-day right of withdrawal under EU consumer law. This means you can return the product within this time frame under the following conditions:

1. Right of withdrawal: You have the right to withdraw from your purchase within 14 days from the day you receive the item.
2. Return shipping: The cost of returning the item is your responsibility and depends on its weight and volume – from €8.90 for accessories and spare parts, and up to €499 for e-scooters, e-bikes and large items. The exact amount is confirmed by us before the return.

The importance of reviewing your order carefully

We encourage all our customers to review their orders carefully before completing payment. Being sure of your purchase helps avoid unnecessary return costs and shipping.

Additional information

For more information about your rights as a consumer, we recommend contacting your national consumer protection authority.

Understanding shipping costs is important when you shop with us. Here's all the information you need to know what shipping will cost:

Free shipping

For orders over €69.90: If your order exceeds €69.90, we offer free shipping throughout the European Union. This means you don't have to pay any extra shipping cost if your order meets this amount.

Why this policy?

Transparency and fairness: We strive to keep shipping costs as low and fair as possible. By offering free shipping on larger purchases, we hope to add value for customers who make bigger orders.

Solutions: If the delays are significant, we can discuss possible options to resolve the situation, such as a new delivery or a refund.

Patience and understanding

We work hard to minimise delivery delays and appreciate your patience. Delays can sometimes occur due to factors beyond our control, such as transport issues or high workload at our suppliers.

We understand that delivery time is an important factor when you shop online. Here are the details of the different delivery times for our products:

Accessories and spare parts

Delivery time: For accessories and spare parts for our products, the delivery time is normally between 5-10 business days. We aim to get your order to you as quickly as possible.

E-scooters and e-bikes

Delivery time: For e-scooters and e-bikes, you can expect a delivery time of between 5-10 business days. We work closely with our suppliers and transport partners to ensure efficient delivery.

Special orders

Longer delivery time: For special orders made via email, such as custom spare parts, the delivery time is up to 20 business days. This longer delivery time is due to the time it takes to specially customise or order these parts.

Why do delivery times differ?

Product type and availability: Delivery time varies depending on the type of product and its availability. Special orders take longer due to their unique nature and specific handling requirements.

It's important to collect your parcel within the specified time to avoid extra costs. Here's what applies if your parcel isn't collected:

Uncollected parcels

Cost: If you don't collect your parcel and it is returned to us, a cost may apply to cover handling and return shipping, depending on the parcel's weight and volume.

How do I avoid it?

Collect on time: Make sure to collect your parcel from the pick-up point within the deadline specified by the carrier.

Reminders from the carrier: You usually receive a reminder from the carrier when your parcel is available for collection. Keep an eye out for these notifications via SMS, email or app.

What if I miss collecting the parcel?

Contact us: If for any reason you can't collect your parcel in time, contact our customer service as soon as possible. In some cases we can help you find a solution before the parcel is sent back.

Flexible payment options with Klarna

We understand that payment flexibility is important to our customers. That's why we offer Klarna at checkout across the EU, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

Payment options with Klarna

Pay later (invoice)
With Klarna you can choose to pay later – receive your items first and pay within the period Klarna offers in your country.

Instalments – spread the cost
If you prefer to split the payment, Klarna lets you pay in instalments over time. You get a full overview of your payments in the Klarna app, and the available plans and any interest-free periods depend on Klarna's terms in your country.

Here's how it works – step by step

Step 1: Choose the items you want to buy and proceed to your cart.
Step 2: Click "Go to checkout" to proceed to payment.
Step 3: Select Klarna as your payment method.

Returning a product and getting a refund should be a simple process. Here's what you can expect when you return an item to us:

Step 1: Return confirmation

Once your return has been received and inspected by us, we'll confirm the approved refund amount, which is the purchase price minus any applicable return cost.

How the refund is calculated

Your refund is the original purchase price of the returned item(s) minus any return cost. Return costs start from €8.90 for accessories and spare parts, and go up to €499 for e-scooters, e-bikes, electric unicycles, e-cross bikes and large items, depending on weight and volume. If the product is defective or non-conforming, return and shipping costs are covered by us.

Step 2: Processing the refund

Time frame: We process your refund within 14 days of receiving your withdrawal request. We may, however, withhold the refund until we have received the returned goods or you provide proof that you've sent them back.

Refund method: The amount is issued using the original payment method used for your purchase.

If your return is not approved

Diminished value: You are responsible for any diminished value resulting from handling the product beyond what is necessary to check its nature and function. In such cases we may make a corresponding deduction from your refund.

Need help?

If you have questions about your return or the refund process, don't hesitate to contact our customer service for personal assistance.

How do I pay in instalments?

Paying for your purchase in instalments is a convenient and flexible way to spread the cost over time. In the EU we offer this through Klarna. Instead of paying the full amount at once, you can choose to pay later or split the payment into instalments, depending on the options Klarna offers in your country. This way you can get what you want without straining your monthly budget, and you get a clear overview of your payment plan in the Klarna app.

Here's how – step by step:

Step 1: Choose the items you want to buy and proceed to your cart.
Step 2: Click "Go to checkout" to proceed to payment.
Step 3: Select Klarna as your payment method.
Step 4: Choose the option that suits you – for example pay later or pay in instalments.
Step 5: Follow Klarna's instructions to confirm your details and complete your order with the chosen plan.

If you're waiting for a refund and haven't seen any money returned to your account, there are a few steps you can take to resolve this:

Step 1: Check your bank account

Check your account: Sometimes bank transactions can take time to appear in your account. We recommend checking your bank account again to make sure the refund hasn't already gone through.

Step 2: Contact your credit card company

Processing time: Contact your credit card company, as it can often take a little time before a refund is officially issued and appears in your account. This process can in some cases take up to 1–3 business days.

Step 3: Check with your bank

Delays at the bank: If you used a debit card or direct payment, also contact your bank. There is often a processing time before a refund is posted to your account.

Step 4: Contact us

Still no refund?: If you have followed all of the above steps and still haven't received your refund within 1–3 business days, please contact us. You can do this via the form on this page.

In today's society, sustainability and reducing environmental impact play an increasingly important role. As a responsible e-commerce company, we at Wheelyshop are aware of the negative effect returns have on the environment. We strive to reduce returns and thereby reduce emissions and environmental impact. In this post we'll explore why avoiding returns is crucial for a more sustainable future and how we at Wheelyshop actively work to achieve this goal.

Why avoid returns?

1. Reduces carbon emissions: Returns involve unnecessary transport, which contributes to increased carbon emissions and poorer air quality. By avoiding returns we reduce the need for return transport and thereby minimise our environmental impact.
2. Preserves natural resources: Returns mean that products can no longer be sold as new, which leads to increased production to replace the returned goods. By avoiding returns we reduce the need for new production and preserve valuable natural resources.
3. Promotes economic efficiency: Returns involve high costs for both companies and consumers. By avoiding returns we can optimise our operations and offer customers better prices and service.

Our commitment to reducing returns:

1. Improved product information: We recognise that clear and accurate product information is crucial to helping customers make well-informed purchasing decisions. We strive to offer detailed descriptions, specifications and reviews on our website to ensure customers get a clear picture of the products before making a purchase.
2. Personal service and expertise: We're proud of our live chat and personal service available to help customers before they make a purchase. Our knowledgeable service experts are ready to answer questions, give advice and guidance to ensure the customer chooses the right product for their needs. By offering this supportive service we minimise the risk of the wrong purchase and thereby the need for returns.
3. Thorough quality control: We take strict measures to ensure that all our products undergo careful quality control before they are sent to customers. This way we can minimise the risk of defective or damaged products, which reduces the need for returns.
4. Clear return policies: We strive to have clear and easy-to-understand return policies that give customers confidence and security when buying. By making the return process simple and smooth, we encourage customers to make well-informed decisions and avoid impulse purchases that can lead to returns.

We are determined to continue exploring and implementing innovative solutions to reduce returns and thereby reduce our environmental impact. We believe in the power of conscious purchasing decisions and want to be your reliable partner in making sustainable choices.

In summary

At Wheelyshop we are aware of the need to reduce returns and our environmental impact. By offering detailed product information, personal service, thorough quality control and clear return policies, we strive to minimise the need for returns and promote a more sustainable future. We encourage you to make well-informed purchasing decisions and to contact our support to get the help you need to find the right product for your needs. Together we can make a positive difference for the environment and future generations.

Why COC documents are necessary for e-scooters and e-bikes

As we move towards a more sustainable and efficient transport infrastructure, e-scooters and e-bikes are becoming increasingly common on our streets. These electric vehicles offer a convenient, environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution for short journeys in urban environments. But for these vehicles to be integrated safely and legally into traffic, they need to meet certain requirements and standards. This is where COC documents play a crucial role.

What are COC documents and why are they important?

COC stands for Certificate of Conformity. It is a document issued by the manufacturer certifying that the vehicle meets all relevant safety and performance requirements under EU directives. For other vehicle types, such as cars and motorcycles, the COC document is standard and necessary to register the vehicle with your national authority and to be able to use it legally on the roads.

Why are COC documents needed for e-scooters and e-bikes?

Although e-scooters and e-bikes may seem small and harmless, it's important to remember that they are still part of traffic and that road safety must be prioritised. COC documents help ensure that these vehicles have undergone the necessary tests and meet the safety requirements needed to protect both riders and other road users.

Registration in your country

In many EU countries, vehicles subject to registration must be registered with the national authority if you intend to ride them in traffic, and requirements are based on the EU directives. In most cases you must be able to present a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) for the vehicle, issued by the manufacturer. Because the exact rules differ from country to country, check what applies where you live.

How to get a certified COC document from Wheelyshop

At Wheelyshop we offer the option to obtain a certified COC document for your vehicle. After you have placed an order with us, you're welcome to contact our customer service to request a COC document.

Because we have close and direct contact with our suppliers, we can smoothly ensure that a certified COC document is issued. This document confirms that the vehicle meets the European standards for safety, environment and performance, which is crucial for registration and insurance in many countries.

Convenient and environmentally friendly transport requires the right protection. Insurance requirements for e-bikes, e-scooters and mopeds vary across the EU, so it's important to know what applies in your country.

E-bikes and e-scooters

In many EU countries, e-bikes and e-scooters that stay within certain power and speed limits (typically up to 250 watts and around 25 km/h) may be covered by your home/contents insurance for theft and damage up to a certain value. For higher-value vehicles, separate insurance is often recommended or required. Check with your insurer what is covered, and follow the rules (for example, avoid unauthorised carrying of passengers or riding where it isn't allowed) to keep your cover valid.

Faster models and mopeds

More powerful or faster vehicles are often classified as mopeds and, in most EU countries, require third-party (traffic) insurance by law. This covers the rider, third parties and property in the event of an accident. You can usually add comprehensive cover for theft and damage. Riders may also need an appropriate licence and to wear a helmet – check your national requirements.

Contact your insurance company

We recommend contacting your insurance company to confirm what is included in your home insurance, or to extend your cover for extra protection. We don't offer insurance directly, but we do provide a warranty for manufacturing defects that may arise with our products.

Conclusion

The right insurance is crucial for safety. E-bikes and e-scooters are often covered by home insurance within certain limits, while faster models and mopeds usually require dedicated traffic insurance. Because rules differ between EU countries, always check the requirements where you live and insure your vehicle accordingly for a responsible and safe journey.

E-bikes have quickly become popular as a sustainable and efficient means of transport. To cycle safely and legally, it's important to understand the rules that apply to e-bikes. Many of these are harmonised across the EU, but some details differ by country, so always check your local regulations.

What rules apply to e-bikes?

To be classified as a bicycle across the EU, an e-bike (a "pedelec") may provide electric assistance up to a maximum speed of 25 km/h, and the motor output must not exceed 250 watts. The motor must only provide assistance when you pedal, reinforcing your own effort. Just like regular bicycles, e-bikes must be equipped with a bell, brakes, lights and reflectors.

Age and licence requirements

For standard pedelecs (up to 25 km/h and 250 W) there is generally no requirement for a driving licence. Minimum age and rules on carrying children vary by country.

Helmet requirements

Helmet rules vary by country. For standard e-bikes there is often no legal helmet requirement for adults, but a helmet is strongly recommended for safety. Children are required to wear a helmet in many countries.

Where may you ride an e-bike?

E-bikes are classified as bicycles and may generally be ridden on cycle paths, even where mopeds are not allowed. Rules on off-road and trail cycling vary by country and may require the landowner's permission.

Pedal-assisted cycling

The e-bike's motor is only activated when you pedal, providing assistance up to 25 km/h. If the motor provides power without pedalling, or exceeds the speed or power limits, the vehicle is considered a moped and is subject to different rules (including registration, insurance and licence requirements).

Mandatory equipment

A bicycle must have a working bell and working brakes. Lights and reflectors are generally required in the dark: a rear light showing red, a front light showing white or yellow, and reflectors. The exact specifications vary by country.

Important considerations when buying an e-bike

• Make sure your e-bike complies with EU regulations and is CE marked.
• Practise cycling and familiarise yourself with your e-bike's functions before heading out into traffic.
• Consider wearing a helmet for your safety, regardless of legal requirements.

Understanding and following the rules for e-bikes guarantees both your safety and compliance with the law. Because some details differ between EU countries, check the current rules with your local authorities. Cycle responsibly and enjoy the convenience and eco-friendliness of e-biking!

Using an e-scooter is a convenient and environmentally friendly way to get around the city. Rules for e-scooters differ from one EU country to another, so always check the specific regulations that apply where you ride. Below is a general overview of the essentials that apply in most places.

Equipment & safety

To ride safely and legally, an e-scooter should generally have:

• Working brakes
• Front and rear lights
• Reflectors
• A bell or horn

Lights should always be on when it's dark. A helmet is required for younger riders in many countries and is strongly recommended for everyone, especially in urban environments.

Where you may ride

In most countries e-scooters should be used on cycle paths. Riding on pavements and footpaths is often prohibited to protect pedestrians. When parking, take care not to block footpaths or other public areas.

Age limits & responsibility

Minimum age requirements vary by country. All riders must follow local traffic rules and take responsibility in traffic, just as when cycling.

Alcohol & drugs

It is illegal to ride an e-scooter under the influence of alcohol or drugs. This increases the risk of accidents and is prohibited across the EU.

Maintenance & care

Regular maintenance is crucial for both safety and performance. Check the brakes, lights, tyre pressure and battery level regularly.

Registration & insurance

Depending on the country, faster or more powerful e-scooters may need to be registered and/or insured. Requirements are often linked to the vehicle's speed and motor power. Always check the rules with your national transport authority and make sure your vehicle is insured where required.

Respect the environment & other road users

Show consideration for the environment and other road users by following traffic rules, respecting pedestrians and avoiding careless riding.

Following these rules is crucial for a safe and enjoyable e-scooter experience. Because regulations differ between EU countries, we always recommend checking the current rules with your local authorities before riding.
