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?

Communication could be better

Circumstances beyond ER control delayed delivery but a better job of communicating would have been appreciated. Eventually we got just 45 minutes notice - lucky we were in. One of the bikes had not been properly adjusted which made it unsafe to ride. That said good bikes at a good price.

Excellent solid bike.

Excellent solid bike but the delivery service could be improved. By the time the bike reached me the packaging was in tatters and the bike was scratched. Electric Rider arranged a small refund to cover the cost of touch up paint so I have no complaint about them..... just about the delivery company. The bike is a joy to ride.

If I could give no stars I would

If I could give no stars I would! My whole experience with Electric Rider is very poor. I ordered a bike in April expecting delivery within 2 - 5 days), After chasing my order I was told that due to Covid the delivery is between 7 - 10 days. After chasing again after the 10 days period had passed I was then advised that there would be a delay as my bike had no charger, after a few excuses and many emails I decided to cancel my order as I had lost my confidence in Electric Rider and they agreed to refund me. A week after cancelling to my surprise a bike was delivered to my neighbours whilst I was out! So again I had to telephone (only message taken), followed up with several emails. Arranged for the bike to go back, it's been picked up but I am still waiting for a refund!! Its funny how they can take payments immediately but do not make refunds! A very stressful and disappointing experience that has not yet been resolved.

Give them a go

Great website. Massive range of electric bikes to choose from. A personal recommendation about this bike and the company made me feel confident. Give them a go.

Nice bike, poor communication.

Ordered an electric bike on the basis of an e-mail telling me the alternative to the model I wanted was due in the next month. Had to pay full price up front, then got an e-mail to tell me it was on back order. Had to e-mail to chase up for a date, to be told April 1st. To be fair, it duly arrived on the day. In summary, please with the bike I eventually chose, but disappointed in the communications received.

A neat beautifully engineered electric bike

The bike is a lovely piece of kit: and has everything on it that I had wanted. It rides beautifully. You will need engineering skills to assemble it, and I have purchased a ladies' saddle as the one provided was not very comfortable. Staff were extremely helpful when I telephoned and talked me through all the different options and explained everything I asked them.

No bike and no refund.

Paid for my bike by PayPal, funds taken immediately, four months later no bike delivery. No response to my last 4 emails and will not communicate by phone. Usual COVID-19 excuses like most typical underperforming companies. I have now requested a refund but they seem very dismissive and I’m not confident they have acknowledged my refund request. Now starting a case with PayPal, hopefully they can help. Really disappointing.
