so why dont you want it? did he offer another bike that you would rather have ? or just think its shite and want your money back.

from what you have said and offering 60% back he thinks you have ridden the bike custom ordered the size for you or customised it in some way?

dongle maybe?

 

[SRS]

So I presume that this statement means that you have never returned an item

I have in the past returned damaged goods. Can't say I have ever returned something that was correctly supplied and in good condition.

i have many times and never had a problem bar ebay sellers that is, some things you just thought was a good idea then think twice when it arrives and send it back for a refund.

i also think a 60% refund on a bike sent back is total rubbish even if it has been ridden only 1 time. tho if eddie had it a week be fooked and need a service 150 quid max.

i have never seen a bike on his site with a 40% price drop as second hand?

if he thinks thats the case offer him 60% of the price when you have a go on a test ride bike.

then take off 10 quid for every mile on it.

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.

That's not very professional as they have a legal obligation to there customers under distance selling laws,but having said that its no surprise to me that Martin/E-Bikestore has a bad attitude towards treating customers fairly if cancelling an appointment I had with him is anything to go by.

Terms and conditions are normally printed on the rear of the invoice, in light coloured small print.

Keith Reeder and his grammar police are crawling all over this thread!

I didn't know what that button did and feared clicking it to find out, but now I'm educated...

Who is this Keith Reeder.??i reckon he is one of Martins cronies from his bike club.

He cannot even spell his own surname wright ,I mean is it Reader /Reider or what.

saddles are a standard... anyone can fit on a saddle. It might not be comfy but you can fit it.

Your not wrong , the saddle you supplied on my KTM was bloody awfull i would have much rathered you hadnt bothered
Its hanging up in my garage gathering dust as even the bin man didnt want it .

No, I'm just someone who has no tolerance for whiny gobshites that can't spell "pedal" correctly.

Or "right".

Or practically anything else you type.

And I can see that my presence on this forum will be limited to this one post.

my paddles ar or wright

Pedals and saddles are very user specific.

I would prefer bikes to be sold with no pedals at all.
There is just too much personal preference for good quality pedals, whether it be flats or clipless.

Saddles are also difficult, but I usually try the one supplied and see if I can get on with it.

Must be difficult for manufacturers and bike shops, although some of the better ones will normally listen to buyers preferences.

if it was ever a option id just but the frame motor batt and fit the rest my self.

will get better parts for my money then.

Rather than moan about it, send it to me, I really like mine.

edit.. Having said that, I'd want to check that it is the same first, as the one fitted the --Race P wasn't as comfortable as the saddle fitted to the Macina Lycan and Race.

price is nuts tho

 

[Paul smith]

Bought a bike off martin last year..i cancelled 1st appointment...anyway few emails later went down for it..about 150 miles away..weighed in 1st..then had a spin about car park...took it home...sent him a few emails since about petty noob stuff..always got a prompt response from him..one of his minions did cost me £30 odd quid though..for not explaining things properly to me...anyways i think he should weigh in the full amount...this 60% *******...

 

[Denis99]

I lurked in this forum when doing my research for my first ebike.

Saw the link to the ebikes site and had a look at what they had to offer.
The website looked very good and quite informative.


However, when I rang them and spoke to them I found that the person I spoke to seemed to be bored with my questions.
After all I was only thinking of spending approx £4000 on the bike.

Needless to say I took my business elsewhere and am enjoying the new bike.

 

[Paul smith]

Yea ..you spot on there dennis...the replies i,ve had off his staff ..sounded uninterested an couldn,t really be arsed..as i said they cost me £30 odd quid...it,s made me feel like im being a bit of a pain for emailing them now.

 

[StewC]

They seem to have a great range of bikes, but such a shame you just cant pop in to have a browse, or buy any accessories unless you have brought a bike there, and joined the Club.........
Now I hear the staff are not to interested, and my own personal dealings with Martin, I'm glad I purchased elsewhere.

 

[Tomtomato]

Its just that the brands can't provide them, because we don't know what you want!

So KTM does not know what the buyer wants in term of pedals, but does know what the buyer wants in term of saddles, or handles...

Also, how many ebike users actually use pedals with clips?

Surely, the answer is still to include some flat pedals, and let the buyer replace them, if those are not suitable (like any other components of a bike).

 

[EddiePJ]

My KTM Lycan came supplied with a set of Shimano XT combined pedals, similar to those shown below, but double sided. The best of both worlds, but as I use clipless pedals, I simply removed the flat section.
