I am looking for legal advice regarding reselling bicycles that have been modified to electric.
Basically I take old used bikes that I buy from a non profit organization. I clean them up, put on new tires, and retrofit them to electric. I then resell the bikes for a profit. I have re-sold old schwinns and huffys that would have otherwise been in the dumpster or landfill.
I have been reading about first sale and material difference but i need other opinions. Clearly a electric schwinn bike i build is far different than anything they have right now.
None of my customers have been confused about where the product came from. They know i retrofit them at my store.
Should I take off the schwinn/huffy logos off the bikes? Would that make a difference? I just want to make sure im legal.
