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!!

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?

Excellent, 5 star service

Excellent pre sale advice. Excellent service. Delivery was speedy and the assembling easy and quick with fantastic instructions. Would recommend 100%. It has now been 3 weeks since I purchased my e bike, and I have to say it has changed my life. I now go on long bike rides that I would not have considered before due to my level of fitness and the fact that I would be pushing my bike up steep hills. Now, I go everywhere, and hills are no problem, you still have to cycle but you can get to the top with ease. The battery is so easy to fit and charge. The bike is quite heavy, but I never have to worry about carrying it or putting it in a car because everywhere you go is easy, so I just ride home again. If you are considering getting one, I would highly recommend the Emu. I love it, and although expensive, worth every penny.

Excellent Service

Excellent service, especially lots of help and advice from Alex, in my purchase of two Byocycle Chameleon FDXL e-bikes. I did have an issue with the battery on one of the e-bikes (no fault on Electric Rider’s part), but Alex got it resolved very quickly. Excellent company to deal with and highly recommended.

An absolutely refreshing and enjoyable experience with Electric Rider. Fantastic prices and a huge range of quality eBikes. Super satisfied with my purchase, it was delivered on time and an engineer showed up alongside to help me set it up. Would highly recommend and will be purchasing again. CHEERS!

Poor quality control

When I spent over a thousand pounds on a bicycle I expect quality control will pick up any faults however the bike arrived with following faults. Damaged handle bars. Scuff Mark's to rubber handle bar ends and damage to saddle. The chain was off and wedged between the rear cogs and the bike frame and the gear changing mechanism appeared to be bent and damaged. It appeared to me that this was returned by a buyer and then passed to me. Their response was that they would send new parts for me to fit I am disabled and in any case do not have the knowledge or equipment to repair the damaged bike.

Got this bike for my brother

Got this bike for my brother, had to wait for him to try it out. He is absolutely delighted with it and managed to get him to and from home with no problems. I think this bike is a bargain compared to others I've seen. Thumbs up! P.S. Delivery was quite good considering circumstances at the moment. Thanks - Paul
