Terrible customer service.

Terrible customer service.

Delivered a bike and the crank bar fell off within a day. When I complained they mention that they'll send a replacement screw and the screw took a week to arrive and was the wrong size. Frustrated I asked for a refund and they outright refused.

I raised it with my bank and complained about them and eventually got my money back MONTHS later for the faulty product they had delivered. Then they started spamming my emails calling a fraud and threatening to call the police on me. Like what? They were even sending someone to knock on my house door even when I said I wasn't in. I should be the one calling the police.

You had no right to return a used product that was not faulty unfortunately. Further action will be taken on this matter now.

Battery Removal

Have had the bike a few months now and I'm more than happy with it. I have been able to remove the battery for safe storage over the winter period. These Batteries like don't cold temperatures.

Highly Recommend. Great Company.

Before ordering my electric bike, I did a lot of research and found a lot of companies are selling electric bikes which are not road legal in the UK (The motor can not be bigger than 250w)
E-City Cycles explained the rules and comply with them fully.
So I ordered my E-City cycle on the Monday and had it delivered on the Wednesday. Great service from the company.
The bike arrived well packed and with minimal assembly required, I had it together in ten minuets.
The bike was already fully charged.
The instructions to operate the bike were basic and I feel a bit more explanation on the different modes should of been included. However I soon got the idea what each mode is capable of doing.
Overall I am very pleased with my purchase and with the Company.
I will recommend them to all my friends.

My experience has been very poor

My experience has been very poor. I would not recommend these dealers to anyone.
My bike was in a dangerous condition due to a fault a point of manufacture and poor pre-sale check.
After ordering my electric bike through the company, it arrived late with damage to the electric cables. To save shipping costs they suggested I should have it repaired locally.
I bought the commuter version to commute both sides of my train journey. In the first two weeks of using the bike, the shaft and pedal came off in peak hour traffic in London. I had this fixed.
The chain then came off a number of times before snapping, wrapping around the rear wheel causing it to lock up and skid uncontrollably in busy traffic.
As a result I had the bike examined by a local bike shop who replaced the chain, they determined that the front cog and rear cog were misaligned on manufacture. They recommended that it wasn’t used in traffic until this is fixed as the chain would continue to come off as soon as any significant pressure is applied, which it does, rendering the bike dangerous and useless for commuting.
I contacted the company to point out the faults and discuss getting the bike repaired or replaced. They put the phone down mid conversation as soon as I mentioned remedying the situation. They then refused to take my calls and have now suggested (on their website) that I didn’t buy the bike from them in the first place.

In view of this and the potential dangers presented by this bike I am funding my own repairs and referring the matter to trading standards to try to resolve it.

Thanks for your reply, sadly you continue to reinforce my poor opinion and increase disappointment of your company and its administrative processes

I have confirmation of the £99 deposit paid to e-city cycles limited at 17.48 on 23rd March 2021

The settlement of a further £600 also paid to e-city cycles limited at 16.45hrs on 21st May 2021.  As a result, my contract for the purchase of the bike is with e-city cycles.

On 21st June 2021 I received a £20 refund from E-city cycles limited to cover the cost of the repairs to the wiring that I reported broken when I received the cycle.

I am sure that you can trace my purchase through your accounts and provide the reference number if is critical to confirm that the cycle was bought through you.

Good afternoon,
Unfortunately we do not have an purchase order number from yourself, meaning we don’t have you on our system as covered by any warranty with us. We also don’t have you down as purchased a bike from us directly on our platforms that we sell on. It is a shame that you are placing negative reviews on a company that you don’t have any warranty with. Sorry, we cannot help you on this matter.
Regards

Good value and excellent customer care.

Good value and excellent customer care.
After a couple of prompt and clear communications, we arranged to collect my e-bike in person, which was fully charged and assembled, with an additional strong lock to go with it.
Simple and responsive controls, rode very easily up and downhills to the Underground Station.
I am 1.6m tall and had no difficulty handling the bike throughout the conmute, and was able to carry it unfolded up a flight of stairs when I got home.
All I had to adjust was the saddle!

Great company to deal with!

I must admit I'm normally nervous buying from an advert that popped up on my social media. I did a bit of research and these did seem credible so went for it....
Quick delivery with great communication and response time to my email was within hours not days.
I haven't really had much time yet to ride my bike if I'm honest but was happy enough to order another one for my wife who loves it.
