How to Pack Your E-Bike for Shipping
Proper packaging is essential to ensure your e-bike arrives safely. Follow these steps:
Disassemble the Bike
Remove the pedals and handlebars.
Detach the front wheel (if necessary) to reduce the box size.
Secure loose parts like the seat and gears with padding.
Choose a Strong Box
Use a double-walled cardboard bike box for maximum protection.
Many bike shops offer specialized shipping boxes.
Add Protective Padding
Wrap the bike frame, fork, and wheels with bubble wrap or foam padding.
Use cardboard spacers between parts to prevent movement.
Secure everything with zip ties or packing tape.
Secure the Battery (If Shipping)
Use UN-certified packaging for lithium batteries.
Cover the battery terminals with electrical tape to prevent short circuits.
Place the battery in a separate, padded compartment within the box.
Seal and Label the Box
Use heavy-duty packing tape to seal all openings.
Clearly label the package as “FRAGILE”.
If shipping the battery separately, label it as “Lithium-Ion Battery – Dangerous Goods”.

How to measure the Bike
What is volumetric weight?
Our pricing policy is based on the package’s actual or volumetric weight, whichever is greater. For instance, if you are shipping a box with dimensions of 50cm x 50cm x 50cm, its maximum volume would be calculated as length x breadth x weight/5000, which in this case would be 25kg. Therefore, even if the actual weight of the box is less than 25kg, you will be charged for 25kg. In another scenario, if your box has a volumetric weight of 25kg but contains an item weighing 30kg, you will be charged for the actual weight of 5kg instead of the volumetric weight of 25kg. To calculate the volumetric weight of your box, please refer to the link provided.
