Velocare - Worry-free Bicycle Ownership

How It Works

Your bike is an important part of your lifestyle. Velocare will ensure that it stays that way by providing hassle-free coverage.

Even though your wheel-to-wheel manufacturer's warranty is exceptional, there are a few things that are not included, such as parts failure from normal wear and tear. Velocare goes above and beyond the manufacturer's warranty by offering 3 to 5 years of worry-free riding. If it fails*, Velocare will replace or repair it.

Just like the name implies, we take care to keep you riding, and if a part fails, bring your bike to a participating Velocare service location and they will handle the service authorization, provide the required service, and get you back pedaling in no time. There are no out-of-pocket expenses, no deductibles, and no hidden costs. Pick up your repaired bike, shake hands, and go pedal. It’s Velocare.

What It Costs

What Is Covered
