How buyback
works.

Our buyback program gives you rental-like flexibility without a strict post-Burn handoff. Purchase the bike in full, then return it in qualifying condition by September 12, 2026, for the stated refund. If you decide not to return it, congratulations—it’s yours.

STEP 01

Buy your bike

Choose the model that fits your riding style, cargo needs and comfort.

STEP 02

Ride it as your own

Use it for the Burn with your charger and the freedom of ownership.

STEP 03

Keep or return

Keep your bike—or return it after the Burn in qualifying condition for the listed refund.

Playa details,
answered.

What comes with an AIMA rental?

Your rental includes pannier bags and a charger. Pickup and return at E-Bike Hub are free.

How does Black Rock City pickup work?

Add BRC pickup for $500. We provide the address, and the bike must return to the same address by noon on Monday, September 7, 2026. Limited to ten bikes.

What does “effective cost after refund” mean?

It is the original purchase price minus the stated buyback refund, assuming the bike is returned in qualifying condition.

Will manufacturer range match Playa range?

No. Dust, soft surfaces, cargo, temperature, rider weight and assist level can reduce real-world range. Plan to charge regularly.
