anyone bought from Tredz ?

[dobbyhasfriends]

wanted to get a bike from Berkshire Bikes but I need to get finance and they dont do it.
anyone bought an e-bike from Tredz? if so what were they like and did you have to use their customer service at all ?

 

[Bazippy]

Bought a fair few things from Tredz however nothing as expensive or large as a bike. However the rest of the service has been great from my experience.

 

[MitchF]

Bought mine from them. Can’t fault my experience. Process was easy and quick and service was great. Service and after care was faultless. I now buy all my “necessary” extras from them ???

 

[Peaky Rider]

Bought loads of 'stuff' from them, but not a bike. Always been good.
Think you might find they're Halfords, note I only said "think".

 

[MitchF]

Bought from Halfords in the past , Chalk&Cheese in my experience.

Got my Merida from tredz , they were very good they price matched a deal I found on the net and gave me £80 worth of accessories . I would definitely buy from them again ?.

 

[steve_sordy]

No complaints about Tredz from me, quite the reverse!
Never bought a bike from them, but I've been using them for years!
Look out for their discount flashes that come on at first and write down the code, it changes regularly now.

 

[dobbyhasfriends]

cheers all ! reason im asking is that you do read a lot of stuff about problems with the levo and varying experiences of after care in the event of any issues...
ta.

You bought MTB stuff from Halfords .
Still, they do own Tredz, according to Wiki.

You could always open up a new 0 interest credit card and buy with that , pay off what you want when you want !

Ive Two bikes from Tredz, always been spot on with delivery and customer service and also price matching. Ive had a new battery on warranty but that was all sorted on here and switched over hassle free in the concept store in Harrogate.

yes I tried that but despite have a very good credit rating and no debts im struggling to get one.. and when I was accepted I only got a 2.8k limit.. which means 2 cards and another credit check.
but its the best solution IMO

Tredz are not specialized dealers, so any isses and your bike will have to be sent off from the tredz shop to wherever and you will probably will be without a bike for a month.
I do have a horror story, probably not what you want to hear, but i have seen a kenevo in my local specialized dealers that was bought from tredz. The bike looked like it had been built in a rush or by some unfamiliar with ebike building. The handle bars were not even centred and several parts had been put on wrong or backwards, cabling looked untidy. There had been some issues with tredz and a warranty claim. The bike had then been taken from tredz by the customer and taken to the authorized dealer,, who were going to be charging labour to get the bike working again. Specilized dealers do this when the bike is not bought direct from them. It all sounded like a lot of hassle on an initial small saving in cost on the purchase of the bike.
There are specialized dealers out there that wil do 0% finance but you will have to pay the full retail price for the bike.

Tredz are listed in the specialized website as dealers mate so thats news to me.

Highly recommend Don Skenes in Cardiff. They are a turbo Levo dealer and are very knowledgeable with the bikes. I had a new motor casing fitted, new rear linkage and a few other bits and the bike was ready to be collected that same day. I dont think youd get that with Tredz. They also do 0% finance. Might be worth asking if they have any 2019 Levo's left as you may get them a bit cheaper.

And yes they do have a selection of 2019 levos left in stock, taking up valuable shop floor space,, and along side the 2020 levos. I bought my 2019 leco one week before the new model and got an excellent deal consideing i now have a local 2 year warranty on motor and battery.

Dont shoot the messenger...mate, im just telling you what you dont want to hear. Apologies.

You might find it difficult getting any money off the retail price if asking for finance, but you will be getting a properly built bike and a bricks and motor in house warranty.

Local warranty is proving invaluable for me, definitely glad I went Levo and not mail order like the YT.

Others do finance , for example....
Rutland Cycles.

You can still use a local brand dealer , the warranty can be dealt with locally even if you didn’t by it from them.

Dealers can turn their back on you if you did not buy it direct from them. Some may not, but they all will charge you for labour costs.

not shooting you down mate, thats how I found Tredz in the first place, straight off the Spesch site... that doesnt mean I dont believe you

Go to whichever is closer, will make getting it back there for any warranty work a lot easier. What model you got your eye on? I got a 19 Carbon Comp and cant fault it at all so far, awesome bike.

 

[Keiran]

Specialized Turbo Levo FSR Comp Carbon 2019 Electric Mountain Bik £3,949.99

Amazing price on Rutland at the moment, could be worth asking Berkshire or Don Skenes if they can match that price?
I didnt buy my bike from Don Skenes but they been really good carrying out repairs and warranty work, I just have to pay the labour price.
