Maeving Warranty
This warranty applies to all original owners and any subsequent owners of the covered Maeving RM1. The warranty begins from the date of delivery.
All warranty repairs completed by the Maeving Workshop or one of its approved partners will use Maeving-approved parts. Parts replaced under warranty must be returned to Maeving Limited and will become the property of Maeving Limited. Maeving may choose to repair or replace other defective parts falling outside the warranty. Such work shall not be deemed an admission of liability.
In an instance where work has been completed by anyone other than the Maeving workshop or one of its approved partners, Maeving will not be liable for the costs and nor will any such work be covered by any Maeving warranty.
Please note the limitations that apply to this warranty set out below. This warranty does not affect any applicable statutory rights.
Please note that by not following the instructions and recommendations in the RM1 Owner’s Handbook you will not get the best out of your Maeving RM1 and risk jeopardising the warranties.
Maeving Vehicle Warranty
All new Maeving motorcycles come with a 2-year (24 month) unlimited mileage vehicle warranty. This warranty commences from the date of delivery.
The Maeving Vehicle Warranty covers the frame, swing arm, fork, rear shock, brake assemblies, instruments, storage tank, battery housing, controller housing, handlebar controls, seat and paintwork.
The Maeving Vehicle Warranty covers the repair or replacement of any covered part which is defective in material or factory workmanship under normal on road use for the period of warranty. Any part found to be so defective during this period will be repaired or replaced at the discretion of Maeving Limited or one of its approved partners. Any replaced or repaired part will be covered under warranty for the remainder of the warranty period. Consumable items which are subject to replacement or adjustment are not included under the vehicle warranty unless this work is required as a direct result of a manufacturing defect.
For the avoidance of doubt, the warranty does not cover damage caused as a result of accident or mishandling or not storing your vehicle as per the instructions in the owner’s handbook or damage caused by misuse of the vehicle.
Maeving Battery and Drivetrain
The Maeving battery and drivetrain covers the battery, dual battery control unit, motor controller, hub motor and internal wiring.
It covers the repair or replacement of any covered part which is defective in material or factory workmanship under normal use for the period of warranty. Any part found to be so defective during this period will be repaired or replaced at the discretion of Maeving Limited or one of its approved partners. Any part replaced or repaired will be covered under warranty for the remainder of the warranty period.
What should I expect of my battery performance over time?
Please note, there is a normal, expected battery capacity/range reduction over time when in use. Depending on use, charging and storage conditions, batteries will degrade throughout the duration of the warranty period. Therefore, in accordance with this warranty, Maeving will only replace a battery that exhibits a nominal storage capacity reduction of greater than 20% of the published nominal capacity, as measured by Maeving or a Maeving-approved partner. This will require Maeving or one of its approved partners to take the battery for a test period.
Where applicable, the purchase of any additional Maeving battery comes with a standard 2-year battery warranty separate from the original battery and drivetrain warranty provided as part of an original vehicle purchase.
For the avoidance of doubt, the warranty does not cover damage caused as a result of accident or mishandling or not storing your vehicle as per the instructions in the owner’s handbook or damage caused by misuse of the vehicle.
Part and Accessories
All genuine Maeving parts and accessories are explicitly designed to meet Maeving’s quality and reliability specifications. Using parts and accessories that have not been approved or fitted or fitted under instruction by Maeving will result in your warranty becoming void.
The warranty period for Maeving parts and accessories begins on the delivery date or fitting date of the part or accessory and is valid for a period of 12 months unless otherwise specified or as per any agreed local country legislation or the specified life in service of the part or accessory, whichever transpires later.
All parts or vehicle accessories fitted by Maeving or one of its approved partners during warranty repairs are covered for the balance of the original Maeving manufacturer’s warranty or for the 12 month period or the specified life in service of the part or accessory, whichever transpires later.
For the avoidance of doubt, the warranty does not cover damage caused as a result of accident or mishandling or damage caused by misuse or not storing your vehicle as per the instructions in the owner’s handbook.
Scheduled maintenance and limited-service life
In the course of a regular scheduled service or maintenance procedure, consumable items which are subject to replacement or adjustment are not included in the Maeving warranty, unless this work is required as a direct result of a warranted manufacturing defect.
Any motorcycle part that requires repair, replacement or adjustment may be identified as having a limited service life. This type of part is warranted against manufacturing defects for a limited period of time. A Maeving Representative or Partner can give further information on these parts and identify their relevant periods of cover.
This Maeving Warranty only covers Maeving Motorcycles that are operated according to the following requirements:
- Wearing safety equipment in accordance with local regulations.
- Maintaining the service schedule as defined by Maeving Limited.
- Only using the Maeving Workshop or Maeving-approved partners for repairs and services. To determine whether your chosen workshop/technician is approved to work on Maeving motorcycles, please contact our support team.
