Warrenty return costs
I was tempted to buy a new ebike off the web, but wondered how I might get repairs carried out if it went wrong. To return it for a warrenty repair to either the Seller/Agent, or perhaps to the Wholesale/Agent would cost around £50. Although you can buy on line saving £100 in some cases, two returns would gobble the savings made on line up.
I'm £50 up already - new ebike up the creek within one month, I have calculated in 12 months at one return per month, I will have recovered the entire cost of the ebike and in profit by a pound, just because I bought my ebike locally
Regards Terry

yes a very good point, even if under warranty and free repairs you still have to get it to shop so local is the best if its possible...

eBay is a good place to look for a quality second hand bikes rather than some of the nasty new and not so cheap stuff that appears there.
