Avoid this company at all costs

Avoid this company at all costs. Ordered a conversion kit on March 12. Paid a 20% deposit and told 3 month wait. Its now 5 months and I have not had any replies to emails and phone calls. Looking at similar reviews, it would appear as though I'm not the only one.
They have turned off all means of contacting them and it would seem as though they are no longer in the premises that they were using. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID!!!!

Please please any existing customers struggling to resolve issues reading this put a payment dispute in with whoever you made the payment with do not let it go over the deadline the only way you will get your money back don’t fall victim to these scammers. Absolutely shocking service with 0 customer service. Would recommend to AVOID at all costs. Do not keep you up to date on your order. Do not reply to emails. Requested a cancellation and refund but heard nothing. Left a comment on there social media only to be blocked 🚫. Turned phone lines off but website is still live to take orders. ££££ down with the only help of getting my money back is legal action. I don’t wish this nightmare on anyone. 23weeks from date of order only contact I have had in that time is an order confirmation. 😡 AVOID don’t get ripped off like many others

Getting money back from this firm

Still no replies to phone calls - i've been in touch with the bank and because it's over 120 days, i cannot go through the bank and "chargeback"....be careful of this guys if you run over 120 days. I'm speaking to Trading Standards and apparently the police could be involved but the re-payment needs to come from the BCUK end.

Total balls ache - feel ripped right off here.

Effectively a scam

Having to go through my bank for a refund now. No responses to multiple emails, no answer to multiple phone calls. What’s the difference between this experience and an actual scam? As far as I can tell, there’s virtually no difference.

It’s a very simple message, do not do business with this company.

Avoid at all costs

Avoid at all costs , ordered new barrow in may , always an excuse when I pop in to the shop which luckily is not far , no replies from email or phone pickups , just about to cancel and get refund if possible or go through the bank ,
Seriously don’t deal with them you will regret it ,
Edited after going to the shop, it’s now empty and they have vanished , just been blocked by a director of the company so it leaves me to come to the conclusion it’s a scam and warn others to claim monies fast from banks

Seems to be a trend running here

Seems to be a trend running here. Lied to on multiple occasions and promised that my conversion kit would be ready for my trip to France in June. Obviously never came to fruition. Like most ordered an age ago. The beginning of March in fact. I understand that everything is bespoke but come on. A bit of tubing bolted to an already assembled electric wheel with a few wires. Over 20 weeks. Phone lines never on and played the same message on repeat….. joke of a company. Act with causation if you’re even contemplating on submitting a fresh order!!

Worst company I’ve ever dealt with !

Worst company I’ve ever dealt with !
Takes months from date of order to delivery, you ask when delivery will be, can’t get a straight answer from them, that’s if they do answer. Then the 350w motor that came with my conversions was less than 150w, when I got in touch was told to send the batteries back, (which was over 2 months ago) & then the controller box, which I’m still waiting for them to send both back to me, or even let me know what the problem, if it’s been fixed. You email them, they don’t reply, you phone them, phone is switched off. I’m gutted now that I gave them my money. I would not recommend anyone to buy of this company, if I’d read the reviews before buying, I wouldn’t of !!

I ordered my conversion kit at The Big One show back in the beginning of march and I'm still waiting for it. I've emailed them several times the last 3 or 4 emails haven't been responded to, tried phoning them but the automated response says phone back between 10-4 Monday to Friday which was when I rang! Actually thought they might have gone bust. Pissed off is an understatement, it's alot of money to shell out and to not even have the common decency to answer their customers is disgusting!

Customer service and product quality issues.

Ok, so struggling to get a satisfactory response from ukbc, since phoning to inform them that the 'top level' battery pack recieved, as part of the conversion kit I purchased in june/july 2023, and finally recieved in December 2023 (so after many months waiting), has corroding terminals, one of which has broken off rendering the
twin battery pack completely useless.
I emailed to them the issue, and a swift reply came back suggesting I call their technical support number (provided in their reply).
Called the number numerous times on varying days, each time answered by an automated voice message saying the number was closed and to try again between hours of 10 and 4 Monday to friday. I was already calling at these suggested times.
This is very poor customer service, and am finding it hard to recommend to anyone else to use them.
The kit is a lot of money, and you should expect it to be of much better quality, and a no quibble customer service.

disgusting customer service

Disgusting customer service, ordered my conversion in January knowing that there could be a three month waiting time, phoned them in June, voicemail saying they were shutting down their phone til the end of the month, it looks like they've shut it down permanently, emailed them beginning of July asking what year could I get my order, actually got a reply apologising and it'll be a couple of weeks, still nothing and no replies to my emails. Such a shame because the conversions are excellent. I'll give it another couple of weeks and then I'll be going over to their workshop. What makes it worse you can get the same conversion for less than half the price.

Run by clowns

Took over 6 months to receive my power conversion kit after multiple emails, STILL not received a simple rear wheel conversion kit and that's now been 7 months. Trying to get refunded is as much a problem... AVOID!!!

Company run by an absolute chancer

Company run by an absolute chancer. Mitch Plowman was in the motorsports business and thought he could rebuild gearboxes. His performance at this company is a repeat of that time. Paid a lot of money for a gearbox and left me with one he had cracked and had glued together. So many excuses and very overdue delivery. AVOID!

Took over four months to deliver the product.

Once the product arrived the batteries are faulty.

I have emailed and tried to call on numerous occasions apparently their lines keep going down and BT keep coming back to fix but they never work.

Have given them my number but again no response absolutely shocking customer service.

DON'T BUY FROM THIS COMPANY THEY ARE A NIGHMARE AND DONT CARE ABPOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS.

Quality products

Got my conversion kit. Fantastic quality absolutely over the moon with it. Luggage is made well. Thick waterproof cover I’m sure will last many times longer than most company’s barrow covers.

Picked up some of their kit today and I can’t believe the quality of it and I must say the service of the team there as well. Well worth the short wait. They are a growing business with a solid order book making products that really do excel. If you want top of the range, British made products I can’t recommend them highly enough.
