Scheels tip
Scheels will take online purchases back at any physical store location, which saves you the wait on a mail-in refund if you live near one.
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.
