I wrote this review back in June 2022, then again in July 2022 it was… I wrote this review back in June it was removed by trustpilot, unsure why as it was a genuine review I eventually got the money back, but what an awful traumatic experience... beware!!! do not buy, shop local Not Only did the below happen, their sales person Gila, a very angry South African abused me on my own doorstep, video evidence of this available, she also damaged my door trying to block me from shutting my own door when I was on a business call…. What kind of company is this… they then have had the bike back for weeks and still no refund This really is the worst company ever, what is worse is trustpilot removing genuine unsatisfied customer reviews, shame on you!! WARNING DO NOT USE, pay more for a high street purchase . Absolutely shocking service and after… Absolutely shocking service and after care from this company it really is non existent My bike was delivered to the wrong address, At the time I didn’t know this as they said it had not even left the warehouse A week later still nothing to he told it had been delivered but they never bothered to inform me, on investigations it was at a different house on the lane completely Then there was no bolt for the seat so still couldn’t be used I tried for several days to get a bolt and could. And in the end I had to get a new seat and pole as it was now 2 weeks without a bike that I should of had one. This was all my time and effort not theirs The next thing the cabin keep slipping and coming off making the bike jolt and threw me off and I injured my ankle from the burn of the tyre that’s still moving, told me to take it into the repair shop and they’d pay, so I took it to rockets and rascals but on route the pedals keep slipping like the motors speeding up then slipping, rockets and rascals said it’s defective and to return it as it’s so now and hardly been used I want to do this for a refund or new bike and they say they will only refund when they find the faults, this is fine but I’m already without a bike I need to get around, I’m on a tight time frame and. by looking at the rest of the reviews I’ll be waiting forever to get this sorted as I need a replacement bike not to wait around, hardly a great review for your non existent service! So do not buy from this company their customers service is very poor and any issues will be up to you to resolve so lots of time and money on your part as time costs money when your have to take time out of your day to get things sorted…. Then what they offer you is unreasonable…. I wish to return for a full refund and payment returned asap so I can buy a bike that’s roadworthy and safe Pay more buy local, oh and as I have a second electric bike I use in Cornwall I know how one should feel and ride, so please don’t patronise me again saying that’s this is just how they are when I spoke to your phone support and would get someone to call me back a week ago and never did I’ve had to email in again and getting poor responses 🤨 Sort your service out I’m within my 28days to replace as I couldn’t use this bike till 2 weeks post ordering you do the math

Company In Administration

Had to go through my bank for a refund. The company has gone into administration but are still taking orders that they won't fulfill. I contacted one bike manufacturer that ER stock and they were great, informing me of the situation, even providing me with the details of the administrators. ER owe the manufacturer money too. If you have already ordered don't waste your time contacting ER there's no one there.

E-Bike completely unusable within 4 weeks. Cannot get a response.

I bought a Basis Osprey folding bike from Electric Rider and it is now completely unusable within 4 weeks of use. First, the motor started cutting out whilst I was using it (sometimes whilst I was cycling on the road with cars around me, which was incredibly unsafe) Next, the battery life was reduced to less than a quarter of what it had been initially and the bike struggled to get up hills, even when fully charged. Now the motor has died completely. Even when the battery is displaying as fully charged, there is no motor assist at all. I have sent multiple emails and have not received any response. Even before the bike began to break, I was already pretty unimpressed with the quality. There is a considerable delay between when you start to pedal and when the motor assists kicks in. When it does kick in, it is so abrupt that you could easily fall off the back of the bike if you're not braced for the sudden acceleration. Although the bike has 6 gears, they are all so low that they are unusable (I only ever used the 6th gear). When the bike is folded, there is no way to fasten it in place and there is nothing to lift it from. It took two of us to lift the bike in an out of the boot and we had to use several straps to fasten it closed. It took ages to figure out how to fold and unfold the bike because the instruction leaflet is in broken English and the quality of the printout is so bad that you can barely see what's being shown in the photos. I was willing to accept the quality issues above because it is a relatively cheap bike (although the quality is still much cheaper than the price suggests) but now that it is completely unusable I am only interested in getting my money back for this useless product. Please can someone from Electric Rider respond to me with information on how I can get a refund for this faulty product?

Lack of information

Although I understand the high demand and how hard has been these past months to get ready enough bikes for everyone, there was a constant lack of information and transparency. They never contacted me in advance to tell what was happening. And I received my jume 3 months after the promised date.

Bike took alot longer to deliver than…

Bike took alot longer to deliver than initially expected but to be fair this was no fault of Electric Rider. They told me that the supply chain had been disrupted and my bike parts were stuck in a container at the border. Took a few days to assemble and I was kept up to date the whole time. It arrived well boxed and was handed over by their driver who showed me how to use it in detail - really nice touch... Had excellent service the whole time and to be fair to the support team they did everything they could to get me this as soon as possible. I'm considering a few more purchases for the family come black friday / christmas! P.S their 2021 ebike guide was brilliant

I am an inexperienced buyer for bikes/electric bikes and the service and advice from electric rider has been really helpful. I have now brought my first electric bike from these guys and I am confident I've made the right choice. Thank you again.

Pretty horrendouse customer experience

Pretty horrendouse customer experience; Ordered and paid for my Cyclotricity Bike in May this year and been given the run around by sales since. Cannot give me an accurate delivery date for the bike and now being told that I can't actually speak to a sales rep! for a company which boasts great customer service, that not my experience. I am now concerned I may never get my bike and will have to fight to get my money back. Supply Chain issues aside, stonewalling customers is no way to deal with delivery issues. Avoid if you want a bike any time soon.

Avoid

Very good at taking payment but however when asking about delivery saying the manufacturer has it but after I speak directly to the manufacturer and being informed that they don't have any of the parts for the bike I have been lied to and there for have requested a full refund let's I hope I receive it but 21days is a joke considering payment takes seconds to do but refund takes 21 days really I am very disappointed and upset with this company if I don't receive my refund I will be going to trading standards. Update response from electric rider saying I have been refunded which is a lie as just checked my bank no refund but you say I have been refunded which isn't true

Great service

I ordered a wisper 806 bike from them. The bike arrived late but they were very informative during the process. I was able to get a reply to my emails rapidly. If the rating was based on pre-delivery I would say 3.5 or 4 over 5 because the bike arrived in 2 months. I must say that during covid 19, every other company is the same, the supply is really short for ebikes. After the delivery they were perfect! They answered all of my questions rapidly and solved all of my problems. So I would say they are 5 over 5 and they do everything to make the customers happy! Would recommend!

Excellent customer service

The initial bike I wanted was majorly delayed so in the end a lovely man called Greg recommended another bike which was similar and in stock. No issues ordering and arrived within 24 hours of being despatched. Nothing has been too much trouble and Iv always had a quick response.

All round good service. Thank you Electric Rider

All round good service. Initial bike that I ordered was out of stock but the company found me an alternative which turned out to be very suitable. Good communication throughout and my bike arrived when they said it would. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone
