Isolated and rural areas may take longer.

Please provide a residential or commercial address, PO boxes may not be serviced. Please note that some bulky items* may be subject to additional shipping and handling charges because of size or weight. Shipping may be delayed due to road and weather conditions, lost or stolen packages, and other circumstances beyond our control. 

Sorry, but we do not ship outside of Canada.

We offer free shipping for orders over $450. This does not apply to bicycles and other oversized or overweight items*.

E-Bike Service & Repairs

Our mechanics are trained and equipped to service e-bike systems from Bosch, Shimano, TQ, Fazua, Mahle and Hydrive. We are happy to service the mechanical components of bikes using other e-systems. However, due to fire risk and insurance restrictions we will require you to remove your battery before leaving your bike with us. Bikes with batteries that cannot be removed will need to be picked up immediately following repair. They will not be stored in the building overnight. If they are not picked up they will be locked outside. 


Warranty

If you have an issue with your product please don’t hesitate to email us at orders@trailbicycles.ca. If you believe it's a manufacturer's defect and would like to inquire about a warranty, send us an email and we can assist in the process. A detailed and sharp photo(s) of the defective product is required along with the original receipt. Warranty is only offered to the original owner of the product.

If the product you would like to warranty is from a brand we sell but was purchased elsewhere we can still help as long as you have the original receipt. This process may take some time for review and require an admin fee; please allow extra time to process.

We know your gear gets wet and dirty through regular outdoor use, but please clean it off before photographing it or bringing it in.

Information Security

We protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts all of the information you provide to us and prevents outside parties from being able to "see" your transaction information. When your account information is displayed on your screen, we only display the last five digits of your credit card numbers. You also have the choice of whether or not to save credit card information with us in your Online Account.

We sometimes use other companies (third-party service providers) to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders and delivering packages. They need access to some personal information in order to perform their duties but may not use this information for other purposes.
