Terms of use

Using this site

By reading RideBenchmark you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site. These terms are written in plain language; they are a draft that has not been reviewed by a lawyer.

What RideBenchmark is — and isn’t

RideBenchmark publishes independent editorial and educational information about electric scooters, electric dirt bikes and related rides. It is not:

• a seller, dealer or authorized reseller of any vehicle or part;
• a safety certification, inspection or testing service;
• legal advice about whether a vehicle may be ridden where you live;
• mechanical or repair advice you should rely on instead of a qualified technician or the manufacturer’s manual.

We work hard to be accurate, and we label where information comes from, but we can’t guarantee that every detail is complete, current or error-free. If you find a mistake, please report it.

Specifications, prices and availability change

Manufacturer specifications, model names, prices, stock, warranties and policies change, sometimes without notice. Figures on this site are dated where we cite them. Always confirm the current details with the seller or manufacturer before you buy.

Purchases happen elsewhere

When you follow a link to a merchant, any purchase is between you and that merchant. The merchant — not RideBenchmark — is responsible for pricing, payment, shipping, delivery, returns, refunds, warranties, support and the product itself. Some of those links are affiliate links; see our affiliate disclosure.

Local rules and safe riding

The rules for high-powered scooters and off-road electric motorcycles vary widely between countries, states, cities, parks and trail systems. Many high-performance machines are not legal on public roads or in bike lanes. It is your responsibility to check and follow the laws and land-use rules that apply where you ride, including age limits, licensing, registration and insurance requirements.

Riding fast, heavy electric vehicles carries a real risk of serious injury. Wear appropriate protective equipment — at minimum a properly fitted helmet, and at higher speeds a full-face helmet, gloves, protective clothing and sturdy footwear — and ride within your ability and the conditions. Nothing on RideBenchmark encourages unlawful, reckless or dangerous riding. Footage or images of riding anywhere on or linked from this site are not an endorsement of riding in any particular place or manner.

Brand names and images

Product names, brand names and logos belong to their respective owners. Their use on RideBenchmark identifies the products we discuss and does not imply endorsement, sponsorship or partnership. Manufacturer photographs are credited where they appear.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, RideBenchmark is not liable for losses arising from your use of the site, from decisions made using its information, or from purchases made from third-party merchants. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have that cannot be limited by law.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms as the site grows; the “Last updated” date above will change when we do. Questions: contact@ridebenchmark.com.
