The shop offers flat tire, brake, and repair services for many brands of electric two-wheel vehicles. It provides electrical diagnostics for Bosch-equipped bikes, Shimano-equipped bikes, Brompton electric bikes, Velotric electric bikes, and Lectric bikes sold through the store. For other eBike brands, the shop may assist on a case-by-case basis if the customer provides parts or if the shop has compatible parts in stock.

Question 2

How quickly can Ferris Wheels fix a flat tire?

Accepted Answer

The shop offers while-you-wait flat fixes with a turnaround of less than half an hour for most bikes, though time estimates for electric scooters and eBikes vary case by case. All flat fixes come with a 7-day guarantee, and warranty coverage may extend to 30 days or longer if the tube or tire has a manufacturing defect.

Ferris Wheels offers a $60 basic tune-up covering headset, brake, and shifting adjustments; a $120 comprehensive tune-up with bearing and wheel truing; and a $175 tune-up plus drivetrain cleaning. The shop typically requests at least a couple of business days for a proper tune-up. Special pricing is available for cargo bikes ($140), XL eBikes ($160), single-speed bikes ($100), and tricycles ($180).

Question 4

Does Ferris Wheels handle warranty claims for bikes and eBikes?
