FAQs
Can Ridepanda install the alarm or GPS for me?
We do not install accessories that are not included with your vehicle or purchased from our hubs. However, if you'd like to further customize your vehicle, you can seek parts and labor from third-party providers. We recommend visiting local bike shops to acquire parts and arrange for installation.

Select accessories are available through your local hub. Contact us at support@ridepanda.com to see what's available near you.
Will Ridepanda pay for the lock, alarm or GPS?
