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.

Know the
vehicle rules.

Before choosing your ride, review Black Rock City’s official 2026 vehicle guidance.

2026 BRC GUIDANCE

What e-bikes are allowed?

Allowed e-bikes must be Class 1 or Class 2, generally recognized as bicycles, have two or three wheels and working pedals, use a motor no greater than 750 watts, have a top-rated speed no greater than 20 mph with a 170 lb. rider, and not be a moped. The speed limit everywhere in Black Rock City is 5 mph. E-motorcycles, mopeds, seated electric scooters and fat-tire scooters are not allowed.

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.

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.
