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.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!! They are a scam and will take your money, not deliver and when you try phoning them it goes to a voicemail!! Will be suing them for a refund, plus court costs plus Interest at 8% per annum for all days they have had our money. Don’t waste your time with them! #3058ER

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?

A lovely company!

Thank you Alex for such a great purchasing experience. I was new to the electric bike world and was unsure of what bike I wanted, but with the 'help me choose' feature on the website I was able to choose the right bike for me and my lifestyle - something I wouldn't have been able to do on my own. I was then confident to choose which bike I wanted without any uncertainties. I understand that whilst the order took a slightly longer time due to the current situation, Alex was giving me updates and promptly replying to my queries throughout. A very personable company and I highly recommend! Thank you again :)

I placed an order and understand the UK…

I placed an order and understand the UK is facing a shortage of eBikes at the moment (hence the delay). Alex reassured me that my bike was on preorder. Today it showed up and was in perfect condition, fully assembled and worth the wait!! Can't wait to take it outside once the weather improves. Thx Electric Rider, highly recommended service and price A+++

Abysmal at best

Abysmal, bought a bike early May and there was an issue with gears, logged the fault and was told a ticketing system was in operation, heard nothing more, fast forward 3 weeks and the pedal came off during a ride, the thread was crossed, reported the issue and was told there’s a ticketing system in place, heard nothing, managed to speak to someone via live chat, they sent a bike engineer out to confirm the crank arm was threaded, we were told there are no spare parts available in the uk, at this stage I asked for my money back (which I’m allowed due to the CRA2015, still heard nothing. We then contacted the bike engineer but he was also in the dark? I then had the idea of sourcing the crank arm myself, revolutionary I know but needs must, guess what? The part was available on their website!!! Ordered it and it was here in 24 hours, got the bike tech out and he fitted it. Little or no communication from electric rider, the bike (Wisper) is a nice bike but the customer service is appalling, on top of the £1300 for the bike I’ve had to pay for the crank arm and 2 visits from the bike tech, comfortably the worst online experience I’ve had As an update the company has refunded me £85 for the crank arm and figment

Pleased

Wanting an ebike and discovering that so did everyone else, I had scoured the internet for suppliers which had them in stock. I found Electric Rider, and after speaking to Alex was happy to buy a Neomouv Kalyso. Unfortunately, it was delayed slightly in delivery as apparently they had some arrive damaged and couldn't send them out. I was pleased to be offered a discount to compensate for the delay, and have now been very happily riding my new bike for almost a month. I would recommend this company.

Electric Rider based in City Road, London

Electric Rider is one of those quite rare companies where good customer service is absolutely brilliant and is clearly high on their list! Great electric bikes and also E scooters ... I thoroughly recommend this company.
