Did you really ask him for a discount to cover your time & expenses for driving to his shop?I live 45-60min drive from them, but Martin wasn't prepared to offer any discount or discuss price before test ride, so I cancelled test ride, and that's when he got stroppy as I cancelled appointment. He should have at least offered a small discount to cover my fuel costs/time, then there would be something in it for him & me.
I never try haggling a deal until after i've had a test ride, its only after the test ride that the dealer can see a possible sale on the cards. You are then in a much better position to get a deal of either a discount or extras thrown in or even both. This also applies to cars & motorcycles.I was also put off from arranging a test drive with Martin at ebikeshop.com, as I didn't like the fact that you had to purchase a bike from him to be able to purchase any accessories or have any bike serviced by him. I wanted to buy an e-Bike, not join a religious cult.........

It seems he wants everything his way, which is very brave these days of fierce competition. I had heard his pre-appointment test rides are very hard sell, and not many people leave without leaving a deposit, so I'm glad I didn't go for test ride.
I purchased a bike from a non-specialist e-bike store, and so far I have been very pleased with the customer service and support.
Got my peddles for free off martin..i was so f**ing shocked after weighing in £3000..that it didn,t come with peddles...think he took pity on me...
No fuel = no charged battery, that's bad enough. No pedals is just profiteering.No peddles Thats like buying a brand new car with no fuel in the tank .
newboater when you next go to Morrisons I'm coming with you as I have never thought of asking them for a discount.
