  • "That's one of the best and honest customer service I've experienced."

Cons:

  • "After collecting my bike, I asked for the list of serviced items and I was told there was a leaflet having the list but the leaflet was not currently available."
  • "I don't know why this business feels it's the exception to the rule by cluttering the pathway with boxes and bikes."
  • "Utterly bizarre. A matter which was easily resolvable escalated to an incredible situation in the shop where the manager actually lied about staff not being there when they were clearly in sight."
  • "I apologize but I cannot recommend you."
  • "Visited this shop a few weeks ago. Wasn’t easy to get to by car, no parking for customers, so not ideal if you’re driving in from outside the city."
  • "I was charged an extra £5 without my consent for the front mudguard."

Product Quality

Pros:

  • "The bike its self is awesome and has met and exceeded all my expectations, it so well built and cruises happily in the 20 - 25mph range."
  • "The result transformed the bike and has exceeded my expectations."
  • "Hill climbing capabilities have particularly impressed me."
  • "The bike has been fantastic, it has never really let me down winter/summer, rain or shine."
  • "It's a great bike and I am happy to have it back again."
  • "The Haibike... I loved riding it and felt confident that I could put it to good use."
  • "Great job fitting the kit to an awkward shape bike with a bit of skillful problem-solving."

Cons:

  • "This raises grave concerns about the business claims to employ only highly qualified tradespeople/ 'experts' if the basket is mounted that poorly."
  • "There is no way on earth that in my bike use over March I have wracked up 400 miles. So clearly this was a display bike that others had taken for test-rides, which he sold at full price and as new."
  • "But how can I trust a supplier who can’t even make the bike properly and for all I know could have left me riding an unsafe bike."
  • "A misaligned wheel and the chain which was far too loose on the chain glider."
  • "A basket was fitted by the manager and it looked pretty shoddy."
  • "It was after returning from the supermarket that I noticed the poorly fitted basket had caused so much friction that it had cut through the 'protective' stickers and all through the paint work."
  • "However it weren’t long that I was getting problems with the back breaks locking on the wheel and a few other issues."
