Mantel Exchange Service
It's a service where our aim is to make sure you're on the right bike. You may have been sure during the test ride that this was the right bike for you. And after a few rides you may find that it is not quite the right match. You can notice this in your body. Possible complaints are neck, back and shoulder aches and tingling in your hands. But it is also possible that you just do not like the colour. In that case, it would be a shame to keep on cycling with this bike. With the Mantel exchange service, you can exchange your bike for a similar type of bike, but one that does suit you.
Is this something different than returning the bike?
Yes! Returning a bike means that you decide within 30 days after a test ride that you do not want this bike and that you do not wish to purchase it after all. With a test ride we mean that you cycle a lap around the street, or two or three, so that you can test how the bike rides. A test ride does not mean going shopping or cycling through the forest.
When can I make use of the Mantel exchange service?
You can do so within 30 days of receiving the bike and if you notice that you and the bike are not the best match, even though you thought so during the test ride.
That depends on how you handled the bike and in what condition you are exchanging it. In case the bike you are exchanging needs to be serviced and cleaned before we can sell it again, this will cost €50.
Possible additional costs
If there is wear and tear that is not the result of normal use of the bike, we will charge a decrease in price for it. Consider deeper scratches from falls or other improper use.
To make use of the exchange service, contact us within 30 days of receiving your bike. You can do this by visiting one of our Superstores or by calling our customer service.
