BikeFlights.com ships Class 1 and Class 3 pedal-assist e-bikes with batteries installed within the continental U.S.; we do NOT ship e-bikes with batteries installed to or from Alaska or Hawaii or internationally.
We also do NOT ship throttle-equipped e-bikes.
For reference, here are the four classifications of electric bicycles (e-bikes) according to People for Bikes.
BikeFlights.com adheres to all rules and guidelines per the U.S. Department of Transportation, the International Air Transit Association and UPS’s Dangerous Goods Department.
E-bikes shipped with their batteries installed via BikeFlights.com MUST be packed by someone with a current HazMat certification applicable to safely preparing batteries for shipping.
If you don’t have a current HazMat certification, you can ship your e-bike with battery installed with BikeFlights.com per the following options:
To ship your e-bike without HazMat certification, you must REMOVE its battery and ship the battery separately though another carrier since BikeFlights.com does not do battery-only shipments.
Without its battery, your e-bike will ship just like a non-motorized bike. We suggest shipping your separate battery directly with UPS, FedEx or the United States Postal Service (USPS).
