Did You Register Your Bike Yet? Here's Why It Matters

Did you check if your bike is registered? Registering your new bike with the manufacturer (like Tern) and sites like Bike Index helps protect your investment, extend your warranty, and get important updates! 

In this video, I explain how and why you should register your bike, what you’ll need, and where to do it.

I strongly endorse this! I register my bike with the manufacturer (Tern in this instance for my most recent bikes), and list it with Bike Index. I also register it with my local police department (a service offered in some communities, check yours). My PD issues a free numbered registration sticker. All done within a day of bringing a new bike home. I don’t begin to ride my new bike until that’s done.

Registering with the manufacturer can provide these benefits: Easier filing of warranty claims. Notifications from manufacturer of model recalls that may affect you. Establishing your ownership for bike recovery, for another “layer” of protection in case of bike theft.
