Lumistride Pre-Order & Global Shipping Policy
Last Updated: October 2026
Thank you for joining Lumistride in revolutionizing urban mobility. As we engineer and manufacture the world’s lightest chainless folding electric bikes, transparency regarding production, fulfillment, and international logistics is our top priority.

1. The Pre-Order Campaign & Indiegogo Fulfillment
Lumistride is currently accepting global pre-orders exclusively through our official Indiegogo Crowdfunding Campaign.
Why Pre-Order?Pre-ordering guarantees you our lowest-ever Super Early Bird discount (up to 28% OFF MSRP) and locks in your allocation within our initial 400-unit factory production run.
Production Queue: Production slots are allocated on a strictly chronological basis based on your Indiegogo Backer Number and timestamp.

2. Estimated Production & Delivery Timeline
We are committed to delivering regular, transparent manufacturing updates via email and Indiegogo campaign backer posts throughout each phase:
Phase 1 (Campaign Live): VIP Super Early Bird reservation window and production batch lock.
Phase 2 (Tooling & Pilot Run): CNC machining, 3D additive titanium printing, frame fatigue testing, and CE/UN38.3 regulatory compliance audits.
Phase 3 (Mass Production & Quality Control): Assembly of the first 400 units, 100% powertrain dyno testing, and final waterproof sealing checks.
Phase 4 (Freight & Doorstep Delivery): Ocean/air container dispatch to regional fulfillment hubs, followed by final-mile ground delivery directly to your door.
Note: While we build conservative buffers into our production schedule, supply chain dynamics or international customs clearance can occasionally introduce adjustments. Backers will always receive real-time notifications of any schedule updates.

4. 100% Assembled "Ready-to-Ride" Packaging
Unlike conventional mail-order bicycles that require hours of mechanical assembly, brake tuning, and chain lubrication:
Zero Assembly Required: Every Lumistride e-bike leaves our facility 100% assembled, pre-tuned, and safety-inspected.
Custom Protective Flight-Grade Crate: Your bike is secured in a custom high-density, multi-layer shock-absorbing carton designed to withstand international air and ocean transit.
Unbox & Ride in 12 Seconds: Simply cut the outer straps, unfold the bike using our patented quick-release mechanism, click in the 470g pocket battery module, and ride immediately.

5. Customs, Import Duties & Taxes (VAT/GST)
To maintain absolute transparency and eliminate surprise courier fees at your doorstep:
United States: Orders valued under $800 are typically exempt from import duties under current Section 321 de minimis regulations. State sales tax may apply at checkout where required by law.
European Union & United Kingdom: All shipments are processed under DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) frameworks where feasible, or transparently calculated with regional VAT/GST prior to final dispatch survey confirmation.
Final Shipping Survey: Approximately 3–4 weeks before mass dispatch, all backers will receive an official **Fulfillment Survey** via email to confirm their final shipping address, select local tax payment preferences, and choose optional accessories.

6. Order Tracking & Address Changes
Changing Your Shipping Address: You may modify your delivery address free of charge at any time prior to the lock date of the pre-shipment Fulfillment Survey.
Live Courier Tracking: Once your bike clears regional customs and is transferred to local freight partners (FedEx, UPS, DHL, or regional specialized carriers), you will receive an automated shipping confirmation email with a real-time tracking number.

7. Cancellation & Pre-Order Refund Policy
During Active Indiegogo Campaign: You may modify or cancel your pre-order directly through your Indiegogo account dashboard for a 100% full refund at any time while the campaign is live.
Post-Campaign & Production Phase: Once the campaign concludes, capital is immediately deployed to procure raw titanium, aerospace carbon fiber, and long-lead electronic components for your specific bike build. Cancellations requested after production commencement are subject to our standard terms outlined in our **Refund / Backer Policy.
