Top notch product and service

The bike (e20.X) is amazing, the communication throughout the build process was wonderful. They are always very friendly and helpful and give great advice. The bike is incredibly easy to use and has changed my life. Thank you Estrali.

The bike (E20.X) is very good

The bike (E20.X) is very good - almost perfect. Rides very well indeed. Magnet that holds the two halves together could be stronger - tricky to wheel around when folded.
More communication after order would be good, particularly updates on when it was likely to be ready.

Hi Steve - thanks for the feedback. We are always looking at ways to improve on the product so your comments are of great value. If you have any further issues with the magnet please do drop us a line. As for comms, yes we are working on this too. Sadly at the busiest time of the year the team is a little "stretched".

Hi Paul, glad to have another customer on board our excellent e28.9. Here's to many enjoyable rides.

A brilliant bike

A brilliant bike, quiet, light & easy to handle. Well worth the cost. Take no notice of the date they give for building it, 6 week turnaround. Definitely pay for front suspension.Delivery & set up good. Please note that you have to buy the phone holder separately which is odd as the website/advert gives you the impression that it’s included. A great UK company.

Hi Richard, thanks for the review. Apologies if the lead time was a lot longer than expected. We have had very high demand this summer season which has led to some delays. We are working on this. Hopefully we can persuade customers to order early in 2027!!! Happy Riding

Following an earlier complaint

Following an earlier complaint, they dealt with my issue quickly and effectively and even sent me a box of goodies which was very generous. I feel a little embarrassed that I complained now 😒
But thank you.

Hi Eric, please do not feel embarrassed. There was an issue and we dealt with it. We the "goodies" complement your bikes nicely.

Multiple teething issues and poor customer experience

First off, in appearances, the bike is stunning. The colour is gorgeous. Another plus is that the motor is smooth, and the gears shift beautifully. But as soon as I began riding the bike after receiving it, I was surprised to hear light rattling as I went over any small bump. Then within days, I could hear a distinct rubbing sound coming from the front wheel. There's also intermittently been loud creaking between the pedals. These are the kind of issues you might expect from a five-year-old bike, not what you should hear from a five-day-old one. And after the manufacturing delays and the absence of communication around this that other reviewers have noted, this was really frustrating.

In spite of my frustration, the email I sent to Estarli seeking help with the mechanical issues was polite and patient, and I took the time to describe what I loved about the bike as well. I got back an AI-generated response telling me to remove and reinstall the front wheel myself. I ignored the suggestion, because you surely wouldn’t really ask a customer to do that; you either fix it or cover the cost of a professional repair.

The email said a human would review my ticket and respond. So I was expecting someone to get in touch to offer more meaningful support. They didn't. Two days later, Estarli closed the ticket and marked it resolved, having sent me no further follow-up.

I now have to spend another £100+ on top of the £2000+ spent on the bike, taking it to a shop to diagnose and fix problems that shouldn't exist on a brand-new purchase. But the key worry for me is that I chose Estarli in large part because of their marketing around reliability and customer service. I hoped that if something went wrong with the bike in the future, I could lean on their customer support to be able to resolve issues and keep using the bike long-term. I no longer have confidence in that.

Great bike, very helpful customer service

We ordered an L20 2.0. There were a few hiccups with getting the bike to us, but nothing that couldn't be resolved quickly by a human which is a lot better than other companies nowadays. It was clear they are very busy, undoubtedly because the bikes are actually very good - and great value compared to anything else in the same class. My only feedback regarding the bikes is the warranty period, it would be great if Estarli offered a longer warranty on the cargo frame on par with some of their competitors. We've had our bike for about a week now and are really happy with it. Would recommend Estarli bikes to anyone, especially as they are made in Britain too. I'm really excited to see what they come up with in the future, and will be following them with interest.

Hi Lachezar - thanks for your great review and feedback. We really hope you enjoy getting out and about on your new Estarli L20 cargo bike. You are right about us being very busy, our range of bikes continues to grow in popularity and we are working to manage all the deadlines. Regarding your comments on the warranty, we do feel 2 years is a suitable length of time but we are constantly reviewing this. I wonder if paid, extended warranty option might hold some appeal? Happy riding

Orange Glow

After some initial issues with aquiring a paint colour match for my Estarli the company went out of their way to resolve the problem and successfully matched the shade of orange. All done in quick time. Top marks for customer service

Wanted to love but disappointed

Estimate given for build time and delivery were severely underestimated (more than 2 months longer)

The design of the fold means it doesn’t stand steady when folded, which is awkward both for carrying and stowing, and results in a lot of unavoidable scratches.

The magnets holding the fold aren’t strong enough to securely hold it.

The light was not functioning when it arrived, so quality control was clearly not completed

The dimensions also mean it can’t be carried on a train legally without booking a bike space, which defeats the point of a folding bike for me.

I wanted to love this, but so far I am seriously disappointed. Particularly as this was the biggest investment I have ever made for a bike, and I did my research and picked a UK-built bike intentionally. Huge disappointment!

Hi Anna - thank for your for your feedback. I think it best that one of the team gives you a call. Apologies for the lack of communication from this end. With regards to the other matter you have raised there should be no issues with folded stability, the magnets or the use on public transport but this is something we'd like to chat through with you directly. Kind Regards
