The calculation runs on the reader's device. No price, brand choice, or condition leaves the publisher page. Skinflint receives normal referral information only if the reader chooses a link.

The $1,500 One-Ride Index is available as an attributed SVG chart, newsroom CSV, and structured JSON. Cite the checked date and link to the index methodology; do not describe its severity order as a product-quality ranking.
Readers who prefer a browser tool can install the free Regret Lens bookmarklet. It recognizes supported stores and carries a structured product price into the calculator without an extension, account, or retailer-page request to Skinflint.
Supported brand slugs
lectric, aventon, velotric, rad-power-bikes, ride1up-revv1, fiido, himiway, hovsco, and ecotric.
Affiliate and service-partner review
A value-add consumer information site, not a coupon shell.
Skinflint is an early-stage, source-dated e-bike return-risk publisher. It earns attention through indexable answer pages, local calculators, primary-source policy receipts, and a free publisher embed. It does not use cookie-overwriting software, incentivized clicks, comment spam, duplicate merchant catalogs, or a social account borrowed from another venture.
- Audience: U.S. direct-to-consumer e-bike shoppers and owners evaluating return eligibility, refund exposure, packaging, evidence, and deadlines.
- Commercial placement: a professional-packing resource appears only when original packaging is incomplete and only after the tool says written seller authorization comes first.
- Editorial independence: commission cannot change a policy fact, source date, calculation, eligibility result, or organic order.
- Privacy: seller, path, packaging status, price, condition, and dates stay in the browser; only a deliberate outbound resource click may be counted.
Current state: Skinflint has not applied to or been accepted by AvantLink or BikeFlights. BikeFlights resources are direct and unmonetized, and no link is marked sponsored. Review the method, privacy boundary, and affiliate disclosure.
Partner or compliance questions: hello@skinflint.ai. The public contact form can also be used for ownership authentication or corrections.
Editorial and commercial boundary
Commission rate, sponsorship, or outreach response cannot alter a policy field or the calculation. Publishers may remove the embed at any time. Bulk republication of the normalized dataset still requires permission.
