Simply the best!

We bought our electric bikes 3 months ago. We were able to test ride them before deciding on the right bike. After purchase 6 weeks on you have a free service. We just had this done and as throughout the staff were nothing short of brilliant. Friendly, helpful and courteous. We are over the moon with our bikes. E Bikesdirect - if only all companies were like you!

Garf was great in listening to my personal circumstances (recovering FM totally fused ankle). Wanted to try cycling again and explained we are in a hilly environment.
Wow, Like cycling in air if you want to put minimum effort in, I didn't so still get heart rate pumping. How you use the gears and power is up to you.
The Basis Beacon is my first ebike and it's hub powered.
Wish I'd done this earlier. Bike had minimal effort to set up from me. Very sturdy build. Toolkit supplied is great.
Cannot fault the service or the bike.
I'm mid 50s, 17st, and no problem with power. Haven't needed to use the higher power yet, but good to know it's there if needed. Thank you for great service and ebike.

Highly recommend this company

Darren was extremely helpful listened to what I wanted and offered me what they had in stock and sent me links, to the different bikes so I could see them immediately. We had several email communications and the bike was delivered very quickly. Since had some further conversations after delivery to ask a few questions, all answered very quickly and professionally

Don't get burned (metaphorically) like I did!

I bought a basis osprey and after just over a month of sporadic use it stopped switching on and left me stranded in London. I wanted to return the bike as I no longer trusted it. They refused as it was past 30 days and they could repair it. I still wasnt happy with that idea so they offered an Oxford Daventry. With its different name it was not at all clear that the bike was also their make.

I didn't use the bike for a few months as I was hoping to sell it but as there was no interest and I now had a need for it I started to use it. A month later I was again stranded in London without a working bike. Their troubleshooting support is poor we couldn't find the issue so I sent it back. They are now claiming that there was a cable unplugged and frankly I don't believe them as it is unlikely it happened by accident and I didn't know the cables were there. I strongly feel their product is unreliable and their customer support is unsupportive. I would not recommend you use this company unless you have money to burn!

Great value Dorchester bike

Bike ordered: Basis Dorchester city.
Firstly a very speedy delivery and huge box was in good condition.
Very little work to assemble basically screw on pedals and straighten handlebars.
Checked all screws and found all nicely tightened and blue loctite on threads. The hand completed checklist gave confidence.
Tyres had sufficient pressure to ride straightaway which surprised me.
All gears correctly set up so no adjustments required there!
Motor runs quietly and brakes good. Dutch style riding position comfortable for me. Metal mudguards and chain guard a quality touch and paintwork looks good and thick.
All in all an excellent value ebike and the integrated battery a neat touch.

Great service and can totally recommend E-bikes Direct.
I purchased a Raleigh Motus Tour at a very good price, (great bike) but unfortunately the attachment at the end of the rear mudguard was broken this was not a major problem and I was thinking of not bothering!
I sent a email off and Arran replied straight back apologising and said he would try and get me the broken part. To my surprise he sent me a full mudguard. What fantastic service

Issues at every turn, still don't have my bike

I've ordered a bike and some accesories. Since then I've had multiple issues:
- One of the accesories was suddenly out of stock, they've asked me to chose another thing, and that replacement will be delivered in 3 weeks!
- They sent the wrong bike. Picked it up the next day and still don't have the correct bike
- They use a company that doesn't provide any tracking, doesn't have a working email address, and doesn't pick up the phone. I've been unable to leave my house for the last three days because every day they told me it was coming, and that turned out to not be true

Great place to buy an ebike

I’ve always been happy that I bought by ebike from Ebikes Direct. I’ve had it for a few years now and it’s been great. I have mobility issues and using an E bike has opened up the world to me. I can go out cycling for hours without ending up in pain or exhausted.

I bought replacement battery last week that arrived promptly. Whenever I have called, they are always very friendly and helpful. When it comes time to replace my bike I won’t hesitate to buy from this company again.

Poor customer service when trike had issues

Spent £3000 on a trike in January and we’re now in July and issues I raised with them on the day of delivery have still not been dealt with.

From the trike being delivered late as the courier couldn’t figure out how to get it off the tail lift (it was outside my house and they took it away again and I had to wait several more day to get it), e-bikes offered some complimentary items e.g. a free lock or helmet as an apology and I was really grateful but then this was never sent.

The battery is still behaving erratically and the trike arrived with a broken bell and canopy.

Despite repeated phone calls and complaints, each time I’ve called they have ASSURED me that the issues will now be sorted out, then it goes silent again. I don’t have time to constantly chase this in working hours and it’s getting really frustrating and stressful.

I shouldn’t have to spend extra money to buy replacement items for such an expensive trike when they arrived broken. I have now had to spend £500 on a new battery from the Copenhagen based supplier which works properly (making it even clearer to me that there is something wrong with the pre-supplied one. Really disappointed with how this has been dealt with.

BE WEARY 😮‍💨

I was looking at ordering a bike via cyclescheme and spent a bit of time reading up on bikes and suppliers before I decided to go with e-bike direct. Decided to go for an electric Wisper 806 and chose e-bikes direct to get it from. The company has a decent rating on here so I felt confident I will be in good hands..fast forward to July and I have reached a point where I just have no words to describe how bad of an experience I have had.

The bike came scratched pretty badly (got touch up paint sent to me to cover up the scratches). From the get go I had concerns about my brakes but was told by Arran (who seemed competent enough) that they set up breaks tightly to begin with, to ensure better braking over time (I had no reason not to believe that). Two weeks in the brakes did not loosen off but instead, my front wheel would DISPLACE to one side when braking. That’s when I decided the bike is getting sent back, because I did not feel safe riding it. E-bikes we’re to arrange a pick up on an agreed day (it did not happen). When I queried it, I was advised that they had a wrong mobile number so the courier couldn’t reach me (I don’t know where the wrong number came from), but the bike sat boxed up and ready to go for a further few days (weekend + my work schedule). Finally it was picked up, and e-bikes direct were to assess and repair the bike (I have mentioned it a few times I don’t feel confident with that particular bike and would prefer and exchange). Bike got picked up on 16/06 and had an email from the company on 27/06 saying it’s been repaired, and the colleague who emailed me SUGGESTED HIMSELF that he goes over everything that’s been done to it over the phone, as it’s easier than putting it all in an email. I have told e-bikes that I can only talk after 5:30 and we agreed Arran will try to call me on 28/06 on his way home…it did not happen. I contacted them again, and we agreed on 29/06, a call also didn’t happen. Finally, we agreed we’ll forgo the phone call and I requested a detailed email with what was wrong with the bike, and what’s been done to it, before there’s talk of it being sent back to me. I was told on 3/07 that I will receive an email with requested information ASAP…it’s 18/07 now, I haven’t heard back from the company.
Now, I never leave reviews but this experience has gone from bad to worse pretty quickly and I am simply exasperated. I’m not saying not to use the company because clearly many people have had a good experience, but BE WEARY is all I can say.

A1 Service - eBikes Direct

I contacted eBikes Direct via email with some questions about the RooDog Tourer which I was very interested in buying and received prompt replies that answered my questions, so I purchased this bike at an excellent price (£451.00 off RRP).

Communication from start to finish was excellent and the bike arrived on schedule and the packaging was second to none.

I’m absolutely delighted with my bike and would definitely recommend eBikes Direct as a supplier of choice; you won’t be disappointed!

Ordered through the range who sent the item from here , came with missing parts and a faulty part …. After 5 weeks of contacting the range this company and the company who made the actual product it’s finally being returned.
Nothing but hassle could have easily sent the missing filter and replaced the leaking part of the pool but instead constant messing around .
Will now be collected this week and will be re buying the pool else where £40 cheaper .
Maybe the company should stick to just selling bikes like there name as they seem to have good reviews for that product
