Welcome to Biketro. This Disclosure Page is designed to provide complete transparency about how we operate our website, generate revenue, collaborate with third parties, and deliver trustworthy, unbiased content to our readers.

At Biketro, we are committed to being upfront and honest with our visitors. We believe in full disclosure so that you can trust the information we share, the recommendations we make, and the content we publish.

This page will walk you through how our site is funded, how we handle product reviews and affiliate links, the role of sponsored content, our commitment to honesty, and how you can reach out if you have any concerns or questions.

🔎 Our Purpose

The primary goal of Biketro is to provide reliable, informative, and easy-to-understand content about bikes, e-bikes, cycling gear, and accessories. Whether you’re looking for your first bike, a budget-friendly helmet, or the best e-bike for commuting, we strive to offer detailed guides and expert recommendations you can count on.

We aim to create a one-stop hub for both new and experienced riders who want honest insights and expert advice. To keep this platform running and to support the time and resources that go into creating content, we use various monetization methods — all of which are outlined below.

💸 How We Make Money

Running a website like Biketro involves ongoing expenses — from research and writing to testing products, maintaining the website, and providing updates. To help fund these efforts, we earn income through the following channels:

1. Affiliate Links

Some of the links on our website are affiliate links. This means that if you click on one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at no additional cost to you.

These links are typically included in:

• Product reviews

• Buying guides

• Comparison articles

• Resource recommendations

We participate in several affiliate programs, including (but not limited to):

• Amazon Associates

• ShareASale

• CJ Affiliate

• Impact

• Specialized affiliate programs of biking brands or online retailers

We only recommend products that we believe are of high quality and are relevant to our audience. Our affiliate partnerships do not influence our editorial decisions or product rankings.

2. Sponsored Content

Occasionally, we may publish sponsored posts, collaborative reviews, or brand spotlights. Sponsored content means that a company has paid us to feature their product or service in a dedicated article.

However, we maintain strict editorial control over all sponsored content. We clearly label these posts as “Sponsored,” “Paid Promotion,” or include a note such as:

“This is a sponsored post. All opinions are our own.”

We only work with brands that align with our values and that we believe offer value to our audience.

3. Advertising

Biketro may feature display ads, banner ads, or contextual advertising through services like Google AdSense or other ad networks. These ads help cover our operational costs and are typically placed in sidebars, footers, or between content sections.

We do not have control over individual ad content delivered by third-party networks, but we do our best to filter out low-quality or misleading ads.

4. Product Samples

Sometimes, companies may send us sample products to review or test. Receiving a free product does not guarantee a positive review. We always provide objective evaluations based on performance, usability, price, and quality.

If a product was provided to us for free, we will disclose this in the article with a note like:

“This product was provided to us for review. All opinions expressed are our own.”

✅ Our Core Values

We are deeply committed to honesty, integrity, and user-first content. Here’s how we ensure transparency and trust in everything we publish:

1. Unbiased Reviews

Our product reviews and comparisons are based on research, hands-on experience, and user feedback. We do not accept payment in exchange for favorable reviews. If we don’t like a product, we’ll say so — regardless of whether it earns us a commission.

2. Editorial Independence

Our editorial team operates independently of our monetization strategy. This means that no affiliate partner, sponsor, or advertiser has control over what we write, how we rank products, or what recommendations we make.

3. Reader First

Our content is written with the reader in mind. We focus on real-world value, usability, and affordability — not hype or marketing language. Your trust is more important to us than a quick sale.

📝 How Affiliate Links Work

Here’s a simple breakdown of how affiliate marketing works on Biketro:

1. You read an article or product review.

2. You click on a link to a retailer (e.g., Amazon, REI, Trek, Walmart).

3. If you make a purchase, we may earn a commission.

4. You don’t pay anything extra, and your shopping experience remains the same.

5. Your support helps us keep providing free, valuable content.

We are grateful when you use our affiliate links, as it helps support the continued development of this platform.

⚠️ Risks and Limitations

While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, there are limitations and disclaimers you should be aware of:

• Prices and Availability: Product prices, availability, and features can change without notice. We recommend checking with the retailer directly for the most current details.

• User Experience May Vary: A product that works great for one rider may not be ideal for another. Our reviews are general in nature and based on typical user scenarios.

• We Don’t Sell Products: Biketro does not sell products directly. We act as an informational and referral platform.

🧠 Knowledge is Power

The biking world is filled with technical jargon, new innovations, and changing trends. We make every effort to simplify complex topics and help readers make informed decisions, but we always recommend doing your own due diligence — especially when purchasing high-value items.

If you ever notice something that seems inaccurate, outdated, or misleading, please contact us and we’ll investigate promptly.

📚 Sponsored Posts & Guest Contributions

From time to time, Biketro may feature:

• Guest posts from industry experts

• Sponsored posts from bike brands

• Interviews with manufacturers or cyclists

These posts are clearly marked and are reviewed by our editorial team to ensure quality and relevance. We never publish content that we believe is misleading, deceptive, or of poor value to our audience.

🔐 Privacy & Tracking Disclosure

Some of our affiliate and advertising partners use cookies or tracking pixels to measure engagement and track purchases. This helps determine if a commission is earned.

Please refer to our Privacy Policy for a detailed explanation of what data we collect, how it’s used, and how you can opt out.

📦 Product Availability & Responsibility

While we recommend various products, Biketro is not responsible for:

• Shipping delays

• Faulty or damaged products

• Refunds or returns

• Warranty claims

All of these matters must be addressed directly with the retailer or manufacturer. We recommend reading the return and warranty policies of the seller before purchasing.

🧾 Testimonials and Reader Comments

Testimonials, reviews, and comments displayed on Biketro are for informational purposes only and represent the opinions of individuals — not official endorsements or guarantees of product performance.
