Fanatics tip
One of the most generous sports merch policies. Customized jerseys are final sale.
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.
