Halfords & Freego

[Seanoge]

Booked my Wife's 24" 2014 Freego Regency Ebike into Halfords for a Bike service, Brakes, Chain, etc. They have done it nearly every year with no problems. When I left it in today....20 minutes later I got a phone call saying they would not do it as it was not on their List of Approved bikes. I pointed out that they had done it every other time..and my own Freego bike. Bu No......Are they in the wrong?...... .Freego went broke 6 years ago so hardly going to be on the list(Attached). This 20114 Bike has a working Full Throttle.......perfectly legal.......I wonder if that's the reason......he does not know the Law....

Seems like you have 2 choices, Buy a new bike as per the wishes of halfords.. or invest some time on you-tube vids and spend half an hour giving the bike a once over yourself.

At least you know where to come if you hit a snag.

Some of the local bike charities will do all that stuff for next to nothing. Some do a free tune up and check.
"Sustrans will be offering free bike safety checks and tune-ups, along with cycle security marking and information on local walking, cycling, and public transport routes, outside St Clare Medical Centre in Penzance on Wednesday, April 9th, from 12:00 to 16:00 "

Used to do it all myself.......but I'm 80 now.....and If I kneel down .......

I think the lad didn't know the Law....saw a fuu Throttle..and assumed it had been modified....Will go back and have a chat someday.....

As I've said this is where my Surgery is, it has a small Car park almost always full, and no other spare ground. What is supposed to happen there on Wednesday 9th?

There is an organisation "sustrans" look here seems like they may be hosting an event at your docs location..
