June 20, 20169 yr I think this has gone off topic a bit, I'm sure the original question was about e-bikeshop? It's been enlightening though.
June 20, 20169 yr I think this has gone off topic a bit, I'm sure the original question was about e-bikeshop? Don't they all. Anyway Back to evil e-bikeshop.
June 20, 20169 yr My Trek Powerfly came with Pedals and a saddle, but I changed them both within first week of ownership. If a shop is going to supply a bike without pedals, they should make the customer aware at point of sale. This would then avoid confusion, frustration & an unhappy customer.
June 20, 20169 yr Tell me which pedals you'd buy in by the thousand to sell on a £3000 full suspension eMTB, just as an example Shimano Saint - quality pedal, strong, reliable, make most people running flats happy, etc. I imagine you could pick those up for peanuts if you were buying in their thousands and I imagine the majority of buyers would appreciate it. Just because the bike industry works that way as I noted above, doesn't mean I agree with it - I think a £3k bike should come with a decent quality pair of flats which the buyer can swap out if they so wish.
June 20, 20169 yr I think this has gone off topic a bit, I'm sure the original question was about e-bikeshop? I think that it came down to comparing the terms and conditions of a one man band, to that of a world wide company with infinite resources available to it. As much as I hate Martin's business strategy, comparing the two isn't exactly reasonable or fair. It's equally unfair to judge without knowing what the issue is in the first place. I would advise any potential online purchasers to examine the seller's terms conditions some give you 365 days to return such as Chain Reaction some such as Ebikeshop leave a lot to be desired.

June 20, 20169 yr the only thing and last thing i will get from ebike shop was 1 of these. https://www.e-bikeshop.co.uk/eBike-Spare-Parts/Bosch-eBike-Motor-Bearing-Seal postage was 5 quid and come in an envelope with a first class stamp.

June 20, 20169 yr no envelope i think with it wrapped in bit of bubble wrap with the invoice. This just shows how some dealers will fleece every penny they can out of there customers.
June 20, 20169 yr They are in business to make a profit, it's up you as a customer to decide who is best for yourself. Shop around but cheapest isn't always the best.
June 22, 20169 yr Author E-Bikeshop.co.uk Has anyone had any experience in buying from this dealer as I am having quite a few problems with him. Read my review here https://uk.trustpilot.com/reviews/576189bc0000ff0009666f3a
June 23, 20169 yr Beware of E-Bikeshop.co.uk Farnham Bad Experience[/Quote] I want to warn potential purchasers against making a purchase from E-Bikeshop.co.uk Farnham. I purchased an Electric bike from them it was delivered on the 02/06/2016 I unpacked the bike and decided that it was not for me so the next day I repacked the bike and on the 04/06/2016 I emailed E-Bike Shop to inform them I am canceling the sale under the 14 day right of return (Distance Selling Regulations) the owner of E-Bike Shop Martin said OK. return the bike for a refund. The bike arrived at E-Bike Shop and I was contacted by Martin who informed me that I would only receive a 60% of the purchase price refund as he said the bike had been used. You can imagine how taken aback I was by this as I never even fitted the pedals to the bike. Apart from the fact that I had never used the bike I think that when other companies are offering 365 days to return E-Bikes returns policy leaves something to be desired. I advise all potential customers of E-Bike Shop Farnham to proceed only with extreme caution and at your own risk. At least you got some pedals, even if they weren't fitted. Did you settle for the 60% refund that you were unlawfully offered? Did you feel that you were being coerced and kept the bike because of that? What was the eventual outcome? Have you taken legal action? Is it still ongoing? So many questions. So little time.. Edited June 23, 20169 yr by LeighPing
June 23, 20169 yr How did Martin get away with saying it's been used when you had not even attached the peddles.
June 23, 20169 yr Read my review here https://uk.trustpilot.com/reviews/576189bc0000ff0009666f3a Need to add a review on Google+ also.
June 23, 20169 yr Read my review here https://uk.trustpilot.com/reviews/576189bc0000ff0009666f3a Maybe he's just peeing you about after you peed him about. What do you mean it's not for you? Why didn't you do some proper research and test ride a bike. Save yourself and any dealer you approach a load of hassle. Most small businesses have not got the time and resources to mess about like that.
June 23, 20169 yr if he dont want it and has not even put the pedals on martin is taking the p and should give him his money back end off. Please note that if you wish to exercise your right to return goods under these provisions items must be NEW and UNUSED in order to receive a full refund. The retail sales value of a used item is generally 60% of the new and unused value. THIS APPLIES EVEN IF A BIKE HAS BEEN RIDDEN ONLY ONCE. Please therefore ensure that the item has not been used at all unless you are likely to receive only 60% of what you paid for it when new. Please USE A BOX and proper packing materials. Items damaged due to careless packaging will not be refunded. Sales of items specially ordered, including specially ordered sizes, or customised to customers requirements are final & may not be returned.
June 23, 20169 yr Any business who is big enough to sell online, should be big enough to follow and abide by the Distance Selling Act. If the item is still as new the seller should refund 100%, including original delivery costs for standard delivery, if you paid for any additional delivery this doesn't need to be refunded. CAB gives a good insight into your choices, as a consumer. See following link. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/consumer/changed-your-mind/changing-your-mind-about-something-youve-bought/
June 23, 20169 yr Author I might add that I purchased the bike over the phone and not through the companies website I was never given any Terms and Conditions either before or after the sale
June 23, 20169 yr where is the bike now?, it does not matter how you bought it its crystle clear on his web site. unless it was a custom size or customised ?
June 23, 20169 yr Author Maybe he's just peeing you about after you peed him about. What do you mean it's not for you? Why didn't you do some proper research and test ride a bike. Save yourself and any dealer you approach a load of hassle. Most small businesses have not got the time and resources to mess about like that. So I presume that this statement means that you have never returned an item
June 23, 20169 yr Author where is the bike now?, it does not matter how you bought it its crystle clear on his web site. unless it was a custom size or customised ? To my way of thinking he can not impose his Terms and Conditions if he doesn't tell me what they are
