If you can not find the bike you want, contact info@sweetpetes.com and we'll check if or when that bike might become available. If you would like to add accessories and have them installed, simply add them to the cart and write in the notes what you would like installed.

If you are unsure of what size you require refer to our simple online sizing chart or contact us at info@sweetpetes.com and we'll be happy to help.

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.

Warranty
If you have an issue with your product please don’t hesitate to email us at info@sweetpetes.com. If you believe it's a manufacturers 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 might be required along with the original receipt.

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 company reps to review; please allow for at least two weeks 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.

Gift Receipt
You can request a gift receipt in your package either along with a regular receipt or by itself in the comments box on the Checkout screen. Items which are returned with a Gift Receipt can only be used for in-store credit or exchange.
