━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Where do the bikes come from?


All Kineto bikes are imported
directly from certified suppliers in the state of Florida, United States. They are original models from the Lectric, Aventon, and Velotric brands — the best-selling electric bicycle brands in the USA.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Do the bikes come with import documentation?


Yes. Each bike comes with all the
required import documentation, including a commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and lithium battery documentation
according to the regulations of the National
Customs Authority of Panama (ANA).

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Do I have to pay import taxes?


Import taxes and duties
are included in the final price you
see in our store. There are no hidden costs
or surprises at the time of
delivery.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🚲 ABOUT THE BIKES

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Do the bikes come assembled?

Bikes arrive partially
assembled and require minimal assembly
of approximately 30 minutes. They come with all the necessary tools
and an instruction manual.
We can also arrange full assembly
for an additional cost.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

What battery do the bikes use?


All Kineto bikes use
48V lithium-ion batteries.
Lectric and Velotric models have
UL 2271 certification — the most rigorous safety standard in the industry
for electric bicycle batteries.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

How much does it cost to charge the battery?


Approximately $0.10 to $0.15 per full charge
with Panama's electricity rates. A full charge takes between
4 and 7 hours depending on the model.
Compared to $8 to $12 of daily gas
— the savings are immediate.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Can I charge the bike with normal Panamanian current?


Yes. All Kineto bikes are
compatible with Panama's standard voltage
(110V). You only need a normal outlet
— no special installation required.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

How long does the battery last before
needing replacement?


Kineto bike batteries are
designed to last between
500 and 1,000 full charge cycles —
equivalent to 3 to 5 years of daily use.
Range may decrease slightly
over time, which is completely
normal for lithium batteries.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Do the bikes work in the rain?


Yes. All Kineto bikes have
an IPX4 water resistance rating or higher, which means they
are resistant to splashes and light rain.
It is not recommended to submerge them
or expose them to very heavy rain
for prolonged periods.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Do I need a license to ride
an electric bicycle in Panama?


Currently, Panama does not require a special license
for electric bicycles for urban use.
We recommend staying informed about the regulations of the
Land Transit and Transportation Authority
(ATTT) as regulations for e-bikes are under development.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Are spare parts available in Panama?

of spare parts on demand. For specific accessories
and spare parts, write to us via
WhatsApp and we will manage the import
