Dualtron Eagle Pro - inner tube

Had a puncture on the Dualtron Eagle and struggled to have it fixed. Altough too far away to service the scooter, the Ride + Glide gave very reasuring advice and we purchased a new inner tube from their website. Again, super fast and easy and great customer service.

Their website had the best price in the market and I knew which scooter i wanted . Immediately i had customer service asking me how could they help and they took me through the procedure to purchase my scooter. The reason they took me through was that it was for internationally delivery therefore more complicated than buying in the Uk .All the process took me 10 minutes.

A great find.

A great find. A browser search for Shredlights and mounts, Ride + Glide, are trustworthy/ knowledgable pros; quick to respond and have an Amazon-like delivery speed. I'll be using them again.

6 Stars out of 5 !!

I'd give R&G far more that 5 stars if it was possible.
They sell some of my favourite things and if you're lucky enough to buy something from them it'll be delivered within the blink of an eye.
They're a pleasure to deal with every time, and I'm quite sure I'll never have a bad word to say about them.
I had to call them up a few weeks ago and they were so polite, friendly and super helpful with my query.
I highly recommend Ride & Glide.

Wattbike

Hi,

Left with a Wattbike Dutch electric bike. Was very nice to ride. Had to adjust the saddle a little bit as it was a little bit wonky. apart from that, I had a good time.

Disappointing

I would not personally recommend this company due to the way that I feel I was treated recently.

I purchased a bike from Ride and Glide, it arrived and I was initially pleased with the transaction. However, once I had taken the bike out for a very short test ride, I felt there were issues, so I contacted Ride and Glide to inform them of what I felt was wrong. Their response was to offer a multitude of choices and I chose to have a repair performed by a third party company which was paid for by Ride and Glide.

The bike came back from the third party company and I felt like there were still issues with the bike. I asked for a full refund, and Ride and Glide declined. After numerous instances of contact between me and Ride and Glide, I sent the bike back to Ride and Glide and continued to ask for a full refund.

I decided to get acquainted with the Consumer Rights Act 2015, along with the Road Traffic Act 1988, spoke with Citizens Advice and even the third party company that serviced the bike and with my newfound knowledge and an open mind, I feel like I approached Ride and Glide fairly and, in my opinion, explained my side effectively and hoped for a full refund.

It took several days to negotiate just a partial refund, and not a full refund, including a time where I had to ask Ride and Glide if the bike they sold me was or was not a motor vehicle. The reason given by Ride and Glide for not giving a full refund was a combination of devaluation due to the product now being second hand, shipping and labour time. In my opinion, riding the bike for a mere ten (10) miles on dry tarmac (with two (2) miles added by the third party that assessed the bike) would not depreciate the value to an extreme level, but again, that is my opinion. I was also NOT told, specifically, what the labour costs were for, or given any information in an itemized way regarding the deduction to the refund. Shipping costs were also NOT discussed with me, so I can’t personally say for sure how much they were.

I took multiple pictures and videos of the bike before I sent it back to Ride and Glide, which, in my opinion, showed that there were no paint scratches, punctures, the electric systems were operational, the handlebars moved, etc. The charger system was also untouched, as I did not use it, and all tools included with the bike were accounted for. The instruction manual was also kept free from any stains or folds.

All in all, I personally wouldn’t rate this company highly, but knowing that I eventually got a partial refund is a positive in my opinion, although, I can’t help but feel like I am now out of pocket somewhat. Furthermore, I personally felt like my emails weren’t responded to quickly enough, I did not like how I talked to so many different people (I would’ve preferred to have one point of contact within the company), nor did I appreciate some of the staff members tone at times (but that’s my opinion and my perception of their words, laugh and voices) so, because of these personal views, I feel like that this was not a customer experience I will remember fondly.

Reply from Ride and Glide

Hi Jacob,

We’re very sorry to hear you feel like you received a service from Ride + Glide that was not adequate.

As our other reviews show, we always do everything we can to help and support our customers. As you point out, we immediately paid for the repair option of your choice and arranged for your bike to be picked up after you said you still were not happy with it.

Our team of technicians completed a full assessment of the bike in our workshop and found it to be in full working order. However, since you did not want it back, we offered a refund covering the majority of the cost of the bike. We felt this was a very fair offer since it was now technically second-hand after you rode it for 10 miles.

To your point about timely responses – you always received a same-day or next-day email response. You also talked to a total of 3 members of our team at length on the phone as your requests were escalated.

Kind regards,

Ride + Glide Team

Unreal customer service

I used another company for my first scooter with so much hassle, poor service and only email.
My order with ride and glide was dispatched the following day (I ordered in the evening), with my scooter coming the day after dispatch.

I had some trouble with the scooter latch which turned out was my fault. Customer service via the phone was exceptional. Answering my stupid questions and ensuring I was happy with the scooter.
Amazing company, who I’d recommend to anyone, and the scooter quality is second to none.

Super support and fast delivery!

Ride + Glide keeps their promise on the delivery. I got my Vsett 10+ within 5 days shipped to Denmark as stated on the website. The only downside is that I had to pay custom import and tax, due to UK is no longer apart of EU. But the total price was still cheaper than other retailers in EU.
The support is top notch! They helped me a lot with guidance and what parts I needed to repair my Vsett 10+, and they didn't get frustrated about I had so many questions, and that I I got a bit impatient.
I was in an accident the second time I took the scooter for a ride, so of course the warranty doesn't cover. That's why I had to buy spare parts and get a local bike shop to repair it, since it was cheaper than shipping the scooter back and forth, repair plus custom import and tax.
The support went on from Monday, but I was finally able to order the parts today, so I can't wait to receive it, repair my scooter and get back in it soon.

Thanks for all the help! Especially from Will and Toby!

Kind regards
Tan
