Introduction

This is a legally binding agreement between you and EbikePartsPicker. A Terms of Service informs visitors of their legal rights, responsibilities, and limitations when using our website. While not always legally required, a ToS is strongly recommended for sites with affiliate marketing to establish clear expectations and protect both users and operators.

By accessing or using our website, you accept and agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you may not use our service.

These terms are governed by United States law and apply specifically to visitors from the United States. We may update these terms from time to time, and changes will be posted on this page.

Description of Our Service

EbikePartsPicker is an informational resource that provides:

• Guides and educational content about e-bike conversions
• Interactive tools and calculators for kit selection
• Affiliate links to third-party retailers selling e-bike components
• Reviews and recommendations for e-bike conversion products

We do not sell products directly. Instead, we connect users to trusted third-party retailers and may earn commissions from purchases made through our affiliate links. Users are responsible for verifying product compatibility with their bikes and compliance with local e-bike regulations.

Acceptance of Terms and Changes

Using our website signifies your acceptance of these terms. We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. When we make changes, we will post the updated terms on this page with a new "Last updated" date.
