I would not personally recommend this company due to the way that I feel I was treated recently. I purchased a bike from Ride and Glide, it arrived and I was initially pleased with the transaction. However, once I had taken the bike out for a very short test ride, I felt there were issues, so I contacted Ride and Glide to inform them of what I felt was wrong. Their response was to offer a multitude of choices and I chose to have a repair performed by a third party company which was paid for by Ride and Glide. The bike came back from the third party company and I felt like there were still issues with the bike. I asked for a full refund, and Ride and Glide declined. After numerous instances of contact between me and Ride and Glide, I sent the bike back to Ride and Glide and continued to ask for a full refund. I decided to get acquainted with the Consumer Rights Act 2015, along with the Road Traffic Act 1988, spoke with Citizens Advice and even the third party company that serviced the bike and with my newfound knowledge and an open mind, I feel like I approached Ride and Glide fairly and, in my opinion, explained my side effectively and hoped for a full refund. It took several days to negotiate just a partial refund, and not a full refund, including a time where I had to ask Ride and Glide if the bike they sold me was or was not a motor vehicle. The reason given by Ride and Glide for not giving a full refund was a combination of devaluation due to the product now being second hand, shipping and labour time. In my opinion, riding the bike for a mere ten (10) miles on dry tarmac (with two (2) miles added by the third party that assessed the bike) would not depreciate the value to an extreme level, but again, that is my opinion. I was also NOT told, specifically, what the labour costs were for, or given any information in an itemized way regarding the deduction to the refund. Shipping costs were also NOT discussed with me, so I can’t personally say for sure how much they were. I took multiple pictures and videos of the bike before I sent it back to Ride and Glide, which, in my opinion, showed that there were no paint scratches, punctures, the electric systems were operational, the handlebars moved, etc. The charger system was also untouched, as I did not use it, and all tools included with the bike were accounted for. The instruction manual was also kept free from any stains or folds. All in all, I personally wouldn’t rate this company highly, but knowing that I eventually got a partial refund is a positive in my opinion, although, I can’t help but feel like I am now out of pocket somewhat. Furthermore, I personally felt like my emails weren’t responded to quickly enough, I did not like how I talked to so many different people (I would’ve preferred to have one point of contact within the company), nor did I appreciate some of the staff members tone at times (but that’s my opinion and my perception of their words, laugh and voices) so, because of these personal views, I feel like that this was not a customer experience I will remember fondly.
