Dick's Sporting Goods tip
90 days with receipt. Shoes should be lightly worn if at all. Golf Galaxy items follow similar policy.
Superhuman Bikes tip
The bike itself is not returnable if you simply change your mind, so this only makes sense if you've test-ridden a similar e-bike elsewhere first — the 1-year warranty covers manufacturing defects, not buyer's remorse.
