The company wanted me to provide a lot of personal details when ordering a simple replacement part but refused to give me any details about the part I was ordering

Hi Joe, thanks you for your feedback regarding the display that you unfortunately broke. I have reviewed your comms with the CS team and all the information they requested was to determine that the exact iteration of your display was sent out. The reason they could not offer specific details is that these are proprietary units where any unit details would either not be relevant to resolving the scenario or it is info we do not typically release. I hope the replacement part means you are able to enjoy your bike again.

Great bikes, great customer service

The bike is great (estarli e20.7) but what has really exceeded expectations is the customer service after purchase. A wonderful company that I thoroughly recommend.

Hi Jack, the E20.7 is a excellent feature packed bike. But as you highlight, its the fully service we offer here that sets us apart from other brands

Great product

Great product! We bought ours at a show, taking the bike home with us with a promise that the Charger and tool kit would be despatched as soon as the team got back to base, along with an extras pack of a 12v charger and a couple of bags. Would have been 5 stars except we had to chase both the tool kit and extras package several rimes, they eventually arrived several weeks later.

For small wheels found cycling easy and running with 1 or 2 on the motor was a breeze only having to venture to 3/4/5 on some very steep gradients which they tackled well. Folds fairly easily although could be a little lighter when handling especially when putting into travel bags and lifting into a vehicle. Paintwork not as durable as it should be on what is a very hands on sort of cycle with folding etc.

Hi Mick, thanks for all your feedback. On the weight there is always a compromise but our folder does remain one of the lighter options out there. As one of the stalwarts of the cycling industry once said, 'light, strong, affordable...you can only pick two of these options". We hope we are moving towards offering all three.

Great customer service

During the build the model was updated, Estarli apologised for the delay and also provided some extra accessories.
Great customer service!

Hi Danny, thanks for the feedback and apologies for any issues with the delivery. Looks like you went for lots of ad ons. Going to be a fun bike to ride.

Great experience with the company and bike is excellent, just what I was after.
Originally saw and tested my E28 at a show and based on the discount offered, bought a demo model. This had to be delivered from their Warehouse but it only took a couple of weeks and updates were provided. Bike arrived well packed and with no obvious marks or scuffs considering it wasn’t a brand new product. Haven’t tested battery length usage yet but very satisfied so far.

A lovely bike and smart panniers but the fit is quite tight and the Velcro band to attach the pannier to the frame is detachable, and it quickly detached!
Also, the electric console goes to sleep quickly after a couple of days without use and I need to give it a charge to wake it up, not always convenient.

Hi Lynn, thank you for your feedback. We've dropped you an email to discuss further. With regards to the console switching off, this is potentially our battery control system kicking where the battery level is low and the bike is not being used. It protects the battery. A good thing.

Dummy Battery

Spoke to your staff at Van life in Shrewsbury where we bought bikes last year. The dummy batteries fit perfectly protecting the whole battery compartment. Delivered very quickly thank you.

Hi David - glad you like the dummy batteries. The are perfect should you want to ride the bike without electrical assistance or want a solution for lifting the bike onto a bike rack, where weight reduction and protection from the elements are a consideration. Happy Riding

Seat-post clamp - unable to remove key

My key was stuck in the seat-post folding clamp. Contacted Estarli who gave me a temporary work around while waiting for delivery of a new one (at no charge). Excellent service and no quibble about sending a replacement.

Bought two 28.9s from Estarli after test-riding them at Berkhamsted. Paid extra to swap out the 36/38? chainring for a 44 tooth one + new chain to reduce any danger of spinning out. Had some glitches with delivery (FedEx) and the bikes not correctly spec'd at first, but Estarli staff were super friendly, easily contactable and sorted everything out. The bikes are very well put together, they look great and ride really well. I'm getting around 50 miles to a charge so far in hilly Kent if I keep to level 1/2 and ride with power off where I can (light weight of the bikes makes this easy on the flat). It's great to buy British and I'm sure Estarli are going to do well.
