just shows you should go to ebike shop for a test ride then offer 60% off the asking price as its used

still offer warranty with a dongle fitted tho that no other dealer can ?

That's a very good point. At what point does a bike become 'used' and worth only 60% of it's full value?

The guy who recently picked up his 'brand new' bike, with 10 miles on the clock, and bits falling off, was advised to negotiate for a meagre 15% discount.

So, the question is, what is considered as being a 'used bike'? Is an ex demo bike, used? Should there be 40% off the price?

I bought a Haibike allmtn rx from Martin with Dongle in March of this year. I only bought from him as i wanted this bike with Dongle. He was still some 100 miles from where i live.
I nearly didn't buy from him as he is less than polite, poor customer service in that he doesn't seem bothered about you as a customer but more about the turnover.
Set up of the bike was non existent, and i took it to a mobile bike mechanic who knows how to talk to his customers.
When you buy a bike this costly i expect customer service, lets be honest the bike is the cost of a small decent second hand car.
Watch out martin as if someone set's up near you as the market expands and knows how to treat customers your business will only go one way and that's down.
SHAME REALLY!

What size bike do you need Steve? Out of curiosity, what size were you offered?

 

[Croxden]

and i took it to a mobile bike mechanic

If he is mobile, why did he not come to you?

 

[Steve A]

Offered size 42 if I remember, but I was a 46 so just waited for stock. He wasn't mobile on the day .

Has anyone had any experience in buying from this dealer as I am having quite a few problems with him.

I wouldn't expect him to, being a mobile bike mechanic means he's a mechanic of mobile bikes.

One who comes to you would be called a bike mobile mechanic.

[LeighPing]

a mechanic of mobile bikes.

But they wouldn't be mobile, if they were broke.

Yes it would, noun not verb. A parked mobile crane is still a mobile crane, mobile being part of its name, not its action.

Perhaps he should change his title. It's misleading and confusing. Has anybody got 4 candles on them please?

Yes, that title could be changed to bike mobile mechanic, but simpler to use a hyphen which would have made all the difference. For example:

Mobile bike-mechanic

Coupling the latter two words would make clear the mobility was that of the bike mechanic.

Fork 'andles?

 

[flecc]

Fork 'andles?

Not in script, that uses punctuation marks, far too difficult for today's yoof.

[Steve A]

Really, didn't realise "mobile mechanic" would be of such interest!.

 

[Crockers]

Yes it would, noun not verb. A parked mobile crane is still a mobile crane, mobile being part of its name, not its action.

Isn't it an adjective....Describing the noun..

 

[flecc]

But wholly part of the normal name, so more properly an adjectival noun.
