Thumbs Up On QLINK Ready-To-Ride Delivery

Many people are asking us about 'ready-to-ride delivery'. What is QLINK ready-to-ride delivery? Since April 09, QLINK has launch its online store allowing consumers to order bikes directly from QLINK MOTOR online. When an order is placed online, QLINK will check to see if any QLINK authorized dealer is in the area to fulfill the order. If so, QLINK will pass the order to that dealer and consumer will pick up the bike from this local dealer. Nevertheless, if there is no QLINK dealer in the area, we will fulfill the order and ship the bike out from warehouse. In this case, the bike will be fully assembled and tested by QLINK technicians to guarantee the quality, and the bike will be ship out with ready-to-ride delivery.

To better explain the concept of ready-to-ride delivery, we took some pictures before the bike is shipped out so you can get idea of how do we crate the bike.

 
The picture above shows that the bike is securely tied down on a pallet. As you can see, the bike is fully assembled so that there in no assembly needed when you receive the bike. Our service department will not only fully assemble but test ride the bike. A P.D.I (pre-delivery inspection) process will also be performed before the bike is ready to ship. At this point, the bike you order has been serviced to make sure it's ready to ride. Of course, the battery is fully charged and installed as well. In some cases, due to the height of the crate, we will leave mirrors unattached and consumer will need to attach mirrors. All you need to do to install mirrors is to screw them in the base on handlebar. Don't worry, even cavemen can do it. You will need to install mirrors only on XF200 and XP200 those two models.

 
On the picture above you can see after the bike wastied down securely, we started to crate up the whole bike. The bike will be covered by 4 wall panels and a top panel.  

   
The picture above is the way you will receive crate. Now all you have to do is to uncrate with screw driver or power tool. 

Notice! We can deliver all motorcycles or scooters to your house with lift gate service, but for FrontRunner 500/700 and Rodeo 500/700 , due to the vehicle size, we can only ship to the address with loading dock or to the closest carrier's  terminal for you to pick up. Most consumers were impressed by how secure the way we crate the bikes. Now you need to put gas in the bike and you will be ready to ride! 

No Interest For Up To 12 Months

QLINK has extended its retail financing program for up to 6-month and 12-month. Since last October, powersports industry has lost a lot of business due to the lack of retail financing. GE Funancing and HSBC, used by most dealers to finance bikes, both cut back their programs on powersports products.

For QLINK's enhanced retail financing program, consumers can apply financing on vehicles for 6-month or 12-month long. If the purchase price is within $1000.00, consumers can only apply for 6-month financing. However, if purchase price is over $1000.00, consumers can apply for 12-month financing.

This retail financing program is only available at QLINK Online Store. Now it's the time to own a QLINK bike and enjoy no interest for 12 months. Apply Now and Live Your Dreams Today!

Ordering Parts Just Few Clicks Away

In the past, QLINK MOTOR has only sold parts to its authorized dealers due to the necessity of a trained mechanic to put the parts on the units properly and without harm to the vehicle. Many consumers have continued to call us looking to purchase body panels and other parts requiring minimal work effort to install. We have continued to direct consumers to authorized QLINK dealership. However, some consumers are not near a dealership and want to get parts immediately. As a result, QLINK has decided to put selected parts up for sale on QLINK Online Store.

 

That is correct, by simply visiting QLINK Online Store many parts can be purchased and paid online.  The parts will then be shipped directly to the address you supply. QLINK, however, does not encourage our consumers to disassemble mechanical parts of the machine or try to do work that only authorized technicians should perform. As such, the parts for sale online are only parts that can be removed and replaced simply. We want to make the parts chase easier for our consumers, but we also want to keep you and your vehicle safe. If you find that the part you are looking for is not available online, but feel that it should be, please simply contact us via our Live Support during business hours or email us at consumer@qlinkmotor.com.  Any request will be taken into consideration by our parts department and could be added to the online store.

 

QLINK always recommends that you go through your dealership for any and all work not only for safety but for warranty preservation as well. If a unit is damaged due to unauthorized work, the consumer will be held fully responsible.
