Electric bikes are an eco-friendly and convenient way to get around. They help reduce the amount of carbon dioxide, particulates and other nasties released into the air and they are also great for public health.
As an entrepreneur, Sean Lupton-Smith has learned a lot about e-bike design and manufacturing. He took his lessons and used them to start Electric Bike Company in Newport Beach, California.
Local Manufacturing
E-bikes are becoming more popular in the United States as a way to reduce air pollution and traffic congestion. Many cities and state governments are offering rebates or vouchers to encourage people to switch from gas-powered vehicles to e-bikes.
In some cases, these programs are being paired with increased efforts to expand bike lanes and connect cycling corridors. Electric bikes offer a cleaner, more cost-effective transportation alternative than gas-powered cars.
Local manufacturing offers many benefits to electric bike companies, including lower carbon emissions and greater control over the supply chain. By choosing to produce locally, you are supporting local jobs and helping to build a stronger economy for the future.
In addition to this, local manufacturers can avoid the problems often associated with overseas manufacturing, like shipments errors and poor quality parts swapping from penny-pinching factories. They also have more direct control over the quality of their products and can make sure everything is assembled correctly and uses the correct parts each time.
Customization
Electric bike companies have a unique advantage in being able to offer custom customization options for their customers. It’s a great way to give people who can’t afford to buy a more expensive model the ability to customize their ride to suit their needs.
Aside from allowing riders to customize their bike, it also allows the company to provide an incredible amount of support for their customers. Whether a customer has a question about an electric speed controller, wants to change their battery, or just needs some help finding parts, the EBC team is always there for them.
Unlike many other e-bikes that are shipped overseas, the EBC staff is in the same building as the e-bike builders to inspect every step of production. This enables them to catch problems before they’re sent to customers.
Besides that, being in-house helps the company perform meticulous inspection and packaging processes, and ensures that bikes are never exposed to shipping damage. This, in turn, helps the customer have a better experience with the e-bike.
Long Warranties
Buying a new electric bike is a major investment, and you want to make sure it lasts as long as possible. One way to do this is to make sure you register your e-bike with the manufacturer, which will ensure all the warranties are in place when you need them.
Warranties protect you from a variety of things that can go wrong with your e-bike, including defects in the motor or battery. They also help keep your e-bike in great condition for as long as possible.
As the name suggests, a warranty is a guarantee that someone (usually a company) will repair or replace something that breaks down. Warranties typically run for a certain period of time, and are usually backed by a contract between the bike maker and the retailer.
Most battery manufacturers offer their own warranties, so it’s a good idea to read them before you buy. These usually cover manufacturing defects and capacity loss over a two year or 400 charge cycle period.
30-Day Return Policy
A good return policy is an essential component of any business. Whether you’re a manufacturer, distributor or retailer, the best way to keep your customers happy is by offering them an easy way to exchange their items or get a refund when the need arises.
A well-written return policy is not only a win for your business, but it’s also a win for the customer. The most reputable companies will offer a variety of options, from free returns to in-store credit. A well-written return policy is also an excellent way to keep your inventory in stock, making it easier to turn a profit.
The most important component of any return policy is deciding what the most cost-effective option is for your company. The most efficient approach is to create multiple reusable, recyclable return labels that can be applied to any item in your store. A well-designed, streamlined return policy will save your business money and help you stand out from the competition.
