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?

Best company for e-bikes

Received my cyclotricity stealth 1000w today(6 days after my first communication) and I honestly wish I’d bought this bike years ago I feel like I’ve missed out. The service i received from electric rider was second to none infact I’d say probably the best company I’ve dealt with online. I got it on the cycle to work scheme and from my first email to them I was contacted by Sam within 30 mins and that was it my bike was ordered for me. I was even told of a £100 off offer I wasn’t aware of so Sam offered a lock and lights which I gladly accepted. Thanks to Electric rider and especially Sam for your fantastic service! Would highly recommend them🥇🥇🥇

Happy with the Beast bike

Really happy with the purchase- it was an excellent buy. Although delivery was delayed, the support from the company was very good and appreciated.

Don't trust the stock advertised on their site.

Advertise a product as in stock on website, however it isn't actually in stock. I ask to cancel the order and get told that refunds take 21 days "So I may as well just wait for more stock to arrive", I refused and still over a month later I don't have a refund. Feels like a big scam to me - I would recommend avoiding.

Absolutely disappointed!

Absolutely disappointed by the lack of customer service from this company, specially after been informed again and again that I would get an email or phone call from someone to sort my issue out. 2 weeks ago on my way back from work my Neomouv ebike which I paid nearly £2k for and only had for less then 6 months had just stopped working mid ride on a busy high street, I was really shocked as I only got this bike back in mid July-ish. For 2 weeks I have emailed which I've had no reply for and I have called which I keep being told I will get someone call me back. In the end I took it to a bike repair shop who had told me all I need to do is contact the company who sold it to me and get a controller as the bike only takes a specific type of battery controller. If only it was that easy. This entire ordeal has been exhausting and I wouldn't even recommend buying from Electric Rider to my worst enemy.

Great customer Service

It's an outstanding bike. It took a while to get here, understandable with all the logistic issues these days - (I have late issues with my own products I am selling Online). I had a cassette and sensor issue but Sam sorted it all out with replacements of new cassette and sensor and reimbursement of the charges that took me to get it fixed at the local shop. It's whole again and rides smoothly. Top-notch service.

A brilliant product

A brilliant product. It took a while to be delivered but that was due to covid and travel problems beyond their control. However I was kept updated throughout and the bike is amazing.. many thanks
