hello all got a email that Halfords would be selling Raleigh brand Bosch equipped ebikes, 300w or 400w batteries, Purion or incutuvia. display . Active line mid moter. Went in Halfords to see if the Raleigh. we’re on display and. noticed the Bosch equipped cross fuse is now £1800, where as it was £1600 before , Some of the Carrera ebikes are now £1400 others £1250. Pendleton is also dearer than. before. at £1800 I would rather buy the cube Bosch ebikes which is much nicer looking

For whatever reason, the white Pendleton Somerby-e in my local Halfords is ticketed at £1020. Order it online to collect it at the shop and the price is £675.

The Crossfuse is £1620 if ordered online to collect.

18" probably sells better so they charge more, supply and demand.

I think it's to do with the Sale of Goods act. They will pull the price of the Crossfuse back to £1600 probably next month and they will then describe it as a 'sale'. To do that they have to demonstrate that they were selling it at a higher price for a given period (probably 60 days). They will have done their analysis and worked out that the extra bikes sold in the supposed sale, more than make up for the ones lost in the period of the price hike (during which they are also getting a windfall extra £200 of course).

Also make sure you comparing the same bikes. There are 2019 models in most stores selling at discounted price because Raleigh have already started selling 2020 models.

The price has gone up to cover the refunds and upgrades :(:p
Made a contact who has a warehouse of the returns refunds and faulty bikes some still new in the box it was an eyeopener to see how many he gets in each batch
