For non-motorized touring and racing single-seat bicycles, before the bicycle is checked, the tires need to be deflated. Rotate the handle to 90 degrees and tighten, remove or turn the pedals inside.
The packaging should be based on the principle of protecting the bicycle during transportation and not causing damage due to normal wear and tear. It is recommended to use a hard-shell bike travel bag.
EVA Air reserves the right to refuse delivery if other easily damaged packaging methods are used.
EVA Air will not be liable if the bicycle is not properly packed or protected from damage.
Electric bicycles are unacceptable if the equipment contains batteries.
