Purchased a bike from this website, Told me they are in stock and will be shipped in 3-7 business days. Once I purchased it, it then notified my in my receipt the estimated ship date is 2-3 months later because of high numbers of orders. Extremely disappointed they didnt make me aware of this before purchase, as I would have holded off until winter to purchase for next spring. Wont even have the bike until late september and I live in nothern NY. Thats end of biking season.
I can't say enough about Bikesdirect.com. They are the best. The quality of the bikes is fantastic for the price. And the customer service is just great. Over the years I have bought quite a few bikes from them, and every once in a while there is a question or a problem with a little shipping damage. Their customer service representative, Larry, is really helpful. He will walk you through a fix, or refund your money for any part that you may have to buy. He is just wonderful. Five stars? If you had six or seven, I would give Bikesdirect.com all of those. Again, you can't go wrong with Bikesdirect.com!
A business whose support is felt through every step of the way, in every detail; from initial purchase to shipping to any concerns afterwards. In my case, it was some minor cosmetic damage during shipping. But customer rep Larry was there to help! Even though the damage wasn't their fault, Larry put my newbie-biker mind at ease and made everything right. Definitely would not hesitate to recommend Bike Direct to friends.
I have bought a bike for my niece here. She enjoys riding a bike to school every day. I want to thank the manager for qualified help and I am going to come back for another purchase for me.
Good bikes at a very reasonably rates i like the way they treat their customers. Good job keep up the good work.
A big shout out to Larry in the service group. My daughter's bike arrived last September but she only rode it a couple times before school went fully remote. When she started riding again yesterday (schools are back, thankfully), a part of the brake became disassembled and some of the adjustment bushings were lost. Larry sent me a new assembly. It's a nice bike and the kiddo can't wait to get back on it this spring.
I think this is the best purchase I made during all the quarantine time, it is healthy and beneficial for me and my body. The quality is good. I already took a ride on my new city bike. It's just perfect. Thanks a lot.
I purchased a bike and it was delivered on time. It was defective and not the color advertised/purchased. Even though they have what I want in stock, they don't do exchanges. In order to return the bike they want ME to pay to return it to THEM.
They don't stand behind their product.
Bought a 2021 Motobecane FANTOM CF Eagle MTB. Website says it's 22-25 pounds. Not even close... weighed in at 30 pounds (without pedals). Was expecting the light weight of a more expensive bike. Not a bad bike but exactly what you would expect at this price point.
This is a great concept with nice and undisputable customer services that could bring the larger world to a little global village
Awesome bike, quick ship. Great customer service. I had a small issue and it was taken care of in less than 24 hours. Too bad I can only give them 5 stars. Larry in customer service rocks...
Received a beat up box frame scratched and bent back rim! You can't even call them! Only email, number provided is to process payments only. Had to file a claim with PayPal thanks to there third world service. I highly don't recommend!
Great bike, my younger brother was so happy when he had got his Gravity Nugget 20. I like it as well.
This bikes have best quality and each and every part of the bike is of best quality. Also the prices are very reasonable. Glad i came across their site.
Well I got my bike from Bikes Direct and I am thoroughly impressed with the quality and design of it!
Ordering was easy too!
My rear wheel for the bike arrived damaged so I emailed customer service and got a very quick response from Larry from Bikes Direct and he quickly made it right by helping me and shipped me a new wheel right away and made sure I was happy!
You can have great prices and products but if you have e bad customer service all that means nothing so thank you Larry and Bikes Direct!
Great experience all around!
Answer: I would recommend that you think about a hybrid bike first, as the tires are larger & the 26 inch wheels are a bit stronger. Also, you will be more comfortable riding on an upright position. If you like it, use it to loose weight while saving for a decent road bike.
Answer: Hi - the bike depends upon the type of riding you want to do and what you want out of riding. Do you want comfort? Durability? Speed? More upright riding position? Definitely want to look at bikes with larger tires as they would be more comfortable. The CycleCross type bikes are fast but have a bit larger tires for more durability and comfort than a skinny tire road bike. Check out the OmniStrada which have knobbier and larger tires than the regular cross bikes. They also have top tech tubeless compatible rims which you can easily convert with sealant and kit to being virtually flat free :) Check them out: http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/cross_bikes.htm
Answer: No. The bike should come ready to ride.
Answer: I ordered after hours on Wednesday night, recived confirmation of payment via PayPal instantly. Email receipt received Friday morning.
