#Ebike update number... feels like about 50.
I'm getting my refund.
Basically #Halfords or rather #Halfrauds utterly ignored the CC company. They were contacted and given 2 weeks to respond... the didn't bother. They were sent the CC indemnity and ignored that too.
Meanwhile... after 6 weeks. Their manager finally emailed to say 'nothing wrong with bike' you need to collect it and get an 'independent report done at your expense'
Nope... not happening.
@anomnomnomaly Jesus I feel like I got off lightly in comparison when they couldn't fix my postie bike.
I swear, we all do it at some point. We read the reviews, think 'Oh but my local one can't be that bad' and then get proven horribly wrong.
@dutchbarracuda I've bought tools from them over the years and not really had a problem. I still have a 12v tyre inflater from them I bought almost 10yrs ago.
So it's not ALL bad... but would I ever trust them with a bike... FUCK NO!!!
I'm planning on getting the Haibike Trekking 3 https://www.haibike.com/gb/en/electric-bikes/electric-trekking-bikes/trekking-3-high-gb739?id=45500330
500wh battery, 75Nm 250w Bosch mid drive motor... Good for about 70-80 miles
Comes complete with lights, display, pannier and mudguards and is a hybrid city bike rather than mountain bike.
@anomnomnomaly That looks rather decent!
Mountain bikes are overrated imho. Utility and city bikes will last longer methinks.
