If the police confiscate the bike (for speeding or traffic infractions). Call us for assistance an A.R.T representative will attend to this matter. The rider is responsible for all fines, impoundment and transportation costs of the bike before the deposit will be released.

Typically, when an accident occurs the locals and passersby surround the scene and the police will quickly arrive or can be called from any cell phone.  The police confiscate the bikes and investigate the scene to try to figure out who was at fault. Beyond that depending on who’s at fault and what the damages are, a monetary value will be set and expected to be paid before the bikes are released.

If the rider has an accident, the rider is responsible for all fees and repairs to A.R.T bike as well as any third party and police fees. Repairs are often inexpensive, but this is all dependent on the bike in question.
