🚲 A Quick Reminder About E-Bikes & Repairs at the Lincoln Bike Kitchen
We support all kinds of cycling, but the Lincoln Bike Kitchen does not repair e-bikes.
While e-bikes may look like traditional bicycles, they include motors, batteries, wiring, and electronic systems that require specialized training, tools, and parts. Our volunteer mechanics are trained to work on traditional bicycles and are not equipped to diagnose or repair e-bike electrical systems.
We also want to clarify that our repair services are part of our mission and serve our community members who are in need. They focus on basic bicycle repairs and maintenance that can typically be completed in about an hour or less.
Because we are a volunteer-powered nonprofit, we reserve the right to decline repairs that are beyond our capabilities, require extensive labor, specialized parts, or otherwise fall outside our mission and repair policies.
✅ We accept e-bike donations
✅ We provide basic repairs on traditional bicycles
❌ We do not repair e-bike electrical systems
❌ We may decline repairs that fall outside our policies or available resources
❌ We do not repair scooters, etc.
Thank you for understanding and helping us keep our volunteers, customers, and community safe. ❤️🚲
