Get a 4 yr interest free option on a decent £4k (ish) full suspension option if that’s possible, warranty wise you need to be the first owner really, ebikes aren’t cheap but since I bought one it’s been plenty of esmiles since
so unless a bike is ‘leased’ and the original owner claims ownership still then it’s just going to end up In tears pretty much....
‘what bike mate?’.......as you see that horrifying response from that really cool guy who even offered you a free cup cake or maybe a cool beer as part of the...
Just what I was told by two lbs pretty much but I’m sure you can use like you say any Orbea dealer shop to assist.
One owner said to me he would have to supply details like copy of email and registered email on file to process a claim.
Basically there’s a guy not far from me selling an XL...
Yep, I think you’ve misread what I posted ?, I’m reinforcing the point.
That warranty also has to link to the shop you bought from also, like if you directly buy the bike from Orbea they actually allocate a nearest lbs which ends up being the place your buying from in the end.
I do think they...
So this scuppers people thinking it’s better to not register the warranty and in turn pass over to the next buyer as it kind of sound the warranty would be void on the 31st day?
I don’t really like the sound of Orbea atm ?
So do we know what happened? Like if the cranks are tightened before riding are they okay or does it all warrant the aluminium replacement to make sure and literally don’t buy without?
same place I’m possibly buying from had a customer try to pretend to be the original buyer but trouble was the guy whole sold the bike was a friend of the owners so he was out of luck and went off without any support.
To me it’s pretty shitty conduct really but that said, who knows a shop atm...
And yet, Forestal transfer full warranty over and provide both seller and buyer with a unique code to reregister, that’s a company who values a customer endorsing their products, shame the bikes aren’t out yet.
The daft thing is, I would massively weight my purchase towards any company who...
I think something needs doing in this industry, I have a 15 year old Nissan elgrand that was imported from Japan and there are sometimes minor recall issues that can get resolved for free on these vehicles even though it’s an import!.....
By the LBS logic if you buy a second hand bike your...
I tested one today, I’ve decide I want one (subject to change any time ofc!) as I was able to pick it up way easier and I could feel there was decent enough power coming from it. Sure the bulk of weight is stripped back components but this really is a case of less is more......
My guess is Bafang motor might be lacklustre, nice weight but poxy support and Robs video show how weak that motor is even when 95nm.....but then another showed the ep8 is quite abit weaker than Bosch so ep8 rise could be more like 50-54 ‘bosch’ nm power and I’ve no idea how Bafang...
Shop I had this chat with said original owner with receipt only pretty much, it being unregistered makes no difference. That leaves a big dependency on the original owner pretty much to handle affairs later on.....
So I went to test an XL earlier and it fit me much better than a L other than the dropper which I’ll have to switch to 150 or less but the LBS are offering up some interesting 4yr interest free options, basically it’s £25/month difference to get the MTEAM over the M10 which has me wondering if...
Kind of thinking to buy an Orbea Rise M10 and have seen some second hand models around 6k unregistered, this saves £1k loss in future, happy days but if the seller can’t get the shop to register the bike I’m the new owners name then when it comes to issues, normally the lbs has to diagnose the...
Might sound stupid but was there a GPX file of this route? Be pretty interesting, I also clicked all the way through to order and it was about 1k if I remember.....I had one of my impulsive moments again then had to have a conversation with myself but I feel almost like it’s destiny for a noob...
