  • When meeting in person for a transaction, choose busy and public locations. Ensure the area is well-lit and, if possible, bring a friend with you.

  • 3. Inspect the E-Bike Thoroughly:
  • For in-person transactions, thoroughly inspect the e-bike before making any payments. Verify that the condition matches the description in the listing.

4. Be Cautious with Payments:

  • Prefer secure payment methods, such as cash or verified online payment platforms. Avoid wire transfers or sharing financial information over email or messaging.

8. Protect Your Personal Information:

  • Avoid sharing unnecessary personal information. Be cautious about sharing details like your home address or financial information.

9. Beware of Overpayment Scams:

  • Be cautious if a buyer sends more money than the agreed-upon price and asks for a refund. This could be a scam.

10. Educate Yourself:

  • Stay informed about common online scams and frauds. Being aware of potential risks will help you make informed decisions.

11. Promote Transparency:

  • Encourage transparent communication. Ask questions about the e-bike, its history, and any modifications made.
