Why can't all countries be supplied by air freight?
Currently, there are very few shipping providers that deliver lithium-ion batteries to private customers at a reasonable price. Local authorities and their strict import regulations are often the reason for this. Therefore, we are currently unable to offer shipping to China, Israel or Australia. We are continuing to work on improving our service for you and offering additional delivery countries. Please feel free to check this page at any time for the latest air freight delivery options. With our other shipping methods – not express/air freight – we are also happy to ship your new e-bike battery to many other countries in Europe and around the world.
How much does it cost to ship by air?
Shipping costs vary depending on the country of delivery and postcode. Within Europe, these are usually between £100 and £150. Outside Europe, they are between £150 and £350. The exact shipping costs will be calculated during the checkout process. How to ensure your e-bike battery arrives safely
Special packaging:
We pack your battery in specially approved hazardous goods boxes. This packaging meets strict safety standards to prevent damage and short circuits.
Labelling & documentation:
Dangerous goods must be labelled on the outside of the box in accordance with current IATA regulations. We ship the battery together with all necessary shipping documents.
Correct battery charge level:
Before dispatch, your new battery is checked for damage and functionality. We also bring the cells to the specified charge level – state of charge – of maximum 30%.
How long is the delivery time?
Within Germany and neighbouring countries, the delivery time is a maximum of one to two working days. Outside Europe, delivery usually takes between two and five working days after receipt of the order. Once your battery has been collected by UPS, you will receive the estimated delivery date in the shipment tracking. Please note that in the DACH region, UPS Express Saver shipping is only carried out by air in exceptional cases, as delivery by truck is usually faster. Important information about ordering batteries by air freight No general return shipping at our expense
Before ordering, please ensure that the battery is compatible with your e-bike. We cannot always cover the shipping costs for a return if the battery does not fit or is not needed. Within the EU, we can cover the return shipping costs based on our terms and conditions. Please note that shipping costs will only be refunded at the regular standard shipping rates applicable to the country of delivery. Additional costs for express delivery by air will not be refunded.
Tip for ordering: Before placing your order, please contact our customer service team to ensure that the battery is compatible with your e-bike.
Import and customs clearance for shipments outside the EU
Please note that additional import regulations or restrictions may apply depending on the country of delivery. Therefore, please check the specific regulations before placing your order. During shipment tracking, UPS will inform you as soon as any fees are due. These can usually be paid directly online.
Important note for self-organised battery shipping
If you organise the shipment of your order via a shipping company of your choice, please note that we do not accept any responsibility for the preparation of dangerous goods or export documents. Our obligation is limited exclusively to handing over the battery to the shipping company you have chosen.
The shipping company is solely responsible for preparing all necessary shipping documents, including dangerous goods and export papers, and for ensuring that all legal requirements are met. Please ensure that your logistics partner has the necessary knowledge and authorisations to handle the shipment properly.
If the shipping company you have commissioned is unable to carry out the shipment properly and the battery is returned to us as a result, the return shipment will be at your expense. This includes both the storage and return transport fees incurred and any other associated costs. To avoid delays or additional effort, we recommend that you clarify all necessary details with your shipping company in advance.
