    Well that depends on how the customer approaches things. If the customer comes in saying " you sold me a dud ! It isn't as advertised ! I demand a refund!" They would probably be inclined to see it as you suggest." If the customer asks politely if they can supply the missing decals Then I...

    Which is why it's a shame. Too much of what they do is well. Unfortunately the last thing that happens is often the the one that stands out.

    50Cycles

    Last year when looking for a bike I visited three localish dealers. One had pretty low end bikes but was around the corner, the other two had larger operations and had the kind of bikes I was looking at. I choose a Focus eMTB from 50Cycles for the following reasons. Local Dealer (easy 11 mile...

    Pedelec Insurance Options Please

    Yes Same here , Paid £155 for my £2000 e-bike , my fully comprehensive insurance for my 171cc Scooter is ... £80. Regardless of the fact that some house insurers will insure your e-bike , the full dedicated e-bike insurance is too much. I took it out anyway but will seriously consider...

    Pedelec Insurance Options Please

    Just tried the following Esure, Shielawheels, and Bradfod and Bingley . They will not cover my new Kalkhoff £2000. Saw the post above and contacted Aviva, who after some prodding advised that they will insure it . I chose not to go with them and take a horrendously priced policy because 1 , no...

    50 cycles - misleading advertising

    Even as an atheist I agree. :)

    Slight concern over Kalkhoff / 50cycles / Focus posts

    Slight concern over Kalkhoff / 50cycles / Focus posts

    Thanks. If I did decide to cancel then it wouldn't be after using it. As far as I know it's still in a container somewhere between Germany and Loughborough. Still some good interesting and valid points being made. The service I have received so far has been very good with the sales guy...

    Slight concern over Kalkhoff / 50cycles / Focus posts

    Thanks for all the responses. I actually paid a deposit on credit/debit card over the phone and financed the rest as it was 0%. The consumer contracts regs may still apply.

    Slight concern over Kalkhoff / 50cycles / Focus posts

    Right. After deliberating for a while, I got down to two eMTBs. A 50Cycles supplied Focus Jarifa 29R 5.0 or a Haibike Hardseven. Both were about the same cost and with local dealers. 50Cycles put a short offer on thier site so I could get a 4.0 for the price of a 5.0 so promptly ordered...

    So , after lurking around for a year , I finally decided on the type and quality of bike I wanted and paid up ! I will soon be the owner of a Focus Jarifa Impulse 29R 4.0 . It's a eMTB that is slightly higher spec than the Haibike Hardseven . The choice was difficult and I had decided to get...
