Coverage by part

Published warranty periods, October 9, 2026

Motor	12 months	1 to 2 years, by model	12 months	1 year (whole wheel; parts not listed separately)	1 year; bearings 6 months
Battery	6 months (12 on V14 and P6)	1 year	12 months	1 year, battery included	1 year; opening a pack voids it

Shell	Not covered	Limited, case by case	3 months	Not listed separately	Not listed
Tires	Not covered	Consumable	3 months	Excluded	Not covered

"Not listed" means the policy does not name that part. Dealer warranties cover the wheels each dealer sells, including Leaperkim, which the dealers sell and whose own policy we could not read. Our brand comparison covers the makers beyond warranty.

Shipping, labor and who is covered

Terms that decide what a claim costs you

Term	InMotion	King Song	Begode	eWheels	Alien Rides
Clock starts	Delivery date	Not stated	Carrier's delivery date	Date of purchase	Arrival date
Shipping on a claim	InMotion pays within 7 days of delivery; owner pays both ways after	King Song pays both ways within 30 days of receipt; after that owner pays to the service center, King Song pays the return	Owner pays, unless Begode agrees in writing	eWheels pays on dead-on-arrival units; owner pays both ways otherwise	Warranty parts ship free in the continental US; free return if you ship the wheel to San Francisco
Labor	Policy says the customer pays shipping, labor and taxes on authorized repairs	Not stated	Owner pays labor and diagnostics	Repair center in Tucson, AZ	Owner pays third-party shop labor
Which purchases	inmotionworld.com only; distributors handle their own	Direct and authorized channels; Amazon and dealers may use the seller's terms	begode.com orders only	eWheels purchases	Alien Rides purchases
Second owner	Not transferable	Second-hand may not be eligible	Does not transfer	Not addressed	Not addressed

Begode's wording on the remedy is the one to read twice: it "normally provides the approved replacement part without charging for the part itself," and shipping, labor, diagnostics and taxes are not included. For a failed battery or motor on a 90 lb wheel, shipping alone can be a real cost. King Song's 30-day window is the most generous on shipping, but it is short; a fault that shows up in month three costs you the outbound leg. Our where to buy guide explains how the purchase channel changes all of this.

What voids cover

Common exclusions in each published policy

Cause	InMotion	King Song	Begode	Alien Rides
Water damage	Excluded	Excluded	Excluded	Excluded (snow, salt and mud too)
Crashes and falls	Excluded	Excluded	Excluded	Excluded
Over the weight or speed limit	Excluded (weight limit)	Excluded (overloading)	Excluded (overloading)	Excluded
Unofficial firmware	Excluded	Excluded	Excluded	Third-party firmware excluded
Opening the battery or unauthorized repair	Excluded	Excluded	Affected part loses cover	Opening a pack voids it
Non-approved charger	Excluded	Excluded	Excluded	Not named
Racing, jumping, stunts	Misuse excluded	Excluded	Excluded	Not named
Commercial or rental use	Excluded	Excluded	Not named	Not named

A few exclusions stand out. King Song also excludes "high-intensity use that accelerates wear, including off-road riding, steep climbs, heavy payloads, and extreme temperatures," which matters if you bought a suspension wheel for trails. Begode excludes skipping required safety firmware updates, and both Begode and Alien Rides exclude batteries damaged by poor storage: Alien Rides warns that a pack left at 0% for long periods can lose eligibility, and that battery warnings left unaddressed for more than 48 hours can too. On repairs, King Song says third-party repair does not automatically void the whole warranty where the law prohibits that, and Begode says unauthorized work costs cover only on the part affected.

Normal wear is excluded everywhere: tires, pads, scratches and the slow loss of battery capacity with age. InMotion's battery cover is for failures such as not charging, power cutting out, rapid capacity loss, swelling or leaking from a factory defect.

How to make a claim

• InMotion: send order details, proof of purchase from its website, the serial number and photos or video through the contact page; it answers within 1 to 3 business days. Report shipping damage within 7 days of delivery.
• King Song: send the order number, proof of purchase, model, serial number (usually starting "KS"), photos or video, and any error codes or app screenshots; replies usually take 24 to 48 business hours. Do not ship anything before you have an RMA, and report arrival damage within 7 calendar days.
• Begode: contact Begode before any disassembly or shipment, with the order number, purchaser name and email, model, voltage, hardware version, serial number, motor code, mileage, error codes and photos or video. Nothing is approved until Begode confirms in writing.
• Alien Rides: claims go by email or chat, not phone, with video or photo proof and the wheel's serial number; follow up within 30 days. Shipping damage needs a video showing 0 miles on the display within 72 hours of arrival.

Which warranty fits which buyer

For a first wheel or a commuter, King Song's 1-year battery cover and 30-day free-shipping window beat InMotion's 6-month battery cover on most models; InMotion's 12-month battery cover applies only to the V14 and P6. See the model-by-model detail in our King Song and InMotion line-up guides. For trail riders, read King Song's off-road exclusion before you rely on its longer terms. For high-voltage Begode and Leaperkim wheels bought through a dealer, the dealer's one-year warranty, including the battery at eWheels, is the cover you will actually use.

Whatever you buy, keep the receipt, the box and the serial number, and read who the warranty belongs to before you pay. If you are buying used, assume there is no warranty at all; our used wheel checklist covers what to check instead.
