Risks to plan for

  • R1

    Mechanical problems recur

    A repaired bike may still develop faults during longer rides. Put a race-length equipment test after servicing and include essential spares in the parts budget before travel is finalised.

  • R2

    Bike transport damage

    Transport can damage a race-ready setup or delay its arrival. Budget for suitable packing and show a transport plan during preparation, leaving time to inspect the bike before the event.

  • R3

    Course demands differ

    The course may demand gearing or handling skills not covered by routine rides. Review the route early and link training proof and final component choices to the actual event conditions.

How Backers are protected

14-day review per milestone

When proof is posted, each Backer has 14 days to review the proof, ask for more info, and decide whether to keep supporting your next milestone.

0% commission — direct gifts, nothing taken

Backers pay exactly what they choose directly through your payment methods. cohero takes 0% commission on backings, so you keep what is sent. Any refunds or disputes are handled directly between you, the Backer and your payment provider.

Gifts, not shares

Backings are gifts. No shares, equity, interest or repayment, and Dreamers keep full ownership. Nothing on cohero is an investment or a loan.

Questions and answers

What if I start the race but do not finish?

Post a factual race report with participation evidence and explain why the ride ended. Set the final milestone around documented event participation rather than a guaranteed finish, placing completed preparation in earlier stages.

Does cohero take a commission on backings?

No. cohero charges 0% commission on backings. Backers pay you directly to your chosen payment method, so towards your goal of CN¥60,000, you receive the full amount confirmed by you without platform deductions.

Can I include a replacement bike in the goal?

Explain why the existing bike does not suit the event and show how the proposed replacement fits the race plan. Keep the equipment scope explicit, with purchase records and a tested setup before travel and participation proof.
