Normally I like Evo however after a service for an ebike they've replace a cassette on a brand new bike after 6 mths. This is for a bike that doesn't do mtbing and is mostly ridden on flats. Just crap, and crappy service. I would not recommend evo mt maunganui anymore nor will I give them any further business. Disappointed customer.

Apidura Backcountry Frame Pack

Purchased "Apidura Backcountry Frame Pack 1L" from the extensive range of products. Good follow-up service when the courier had a problem. Love the compact bike frame pack.

Evo cycles Lower Hutt

Went into evo cycles Lower Hutt. Bought a bottom bracket and didn’t have the right size drive for the new style. Asked the guy if he could fit it (paid) rather than waiting to buy a tool, the bike frame was in the car and a 5 min job. Was all good and in progress until the manager got involved. Stopped the work, told me I had to book an appointment with workshop and can only be done during the week. So left and went to cycle science around the corner where they did it in 5 mins and saved me a future journey. Pretty rubbish experience from the manager, the young man was a nice chap. Led by donkeys?

Top Notch Customer Service & Knowledge

Over Matariki weekend I had a fabulous experience with Thomas in the Rotorua branch when trying to purchase some MTB knee pads. He was patient and courteous as I tried the various brands on and in the end organised to have a smaller pair shipped to the Penrose branch.

Jayden from Penrose branch was very patient with me (& highly knowledgeable). Unfortunately the knee pads that were shipped for me didn’t fit right. He showed me another brand of knee pads in stock, answered my many questions all things knee pads (& MTB helmets) and encouraged me to test them out while riding a bike in the carpark to see if they were comfortable and fit right. Superb idea - it allowed me to test drive them before buying them! Thanks so much also for keeping your store open after closing time to help me nail this decision - appreciate it!

Highly recommend EVO to get all the specialist advice you need re all things bikes - every single time their customer service and knowledge has been amazing.

Unsatisfactory ebike repair

Took a 4 yo Trek Allant +8 ebike in with a single broken spoke (bungy caught during low speed manoeuvre, all other spokes tight). Upon collection was told the rim was cracked around a (different) spoke and they would recommend replacing the rim as it could fail catastrophically. When I got home I noticed the tube valve had been left undone, and the retention ring and cap were missing - not a good look. Upon inspection of the cracking I decided I couldn’t risk riding (at up to 50 kmh) with the cracked rim, and complained. They replaced the rim. No original rims were available (within NZ, and potentially anywhere, a problem I have previously had with parts for another ebike from Evo). Unfortunately the replacement turned out to be a non-matching, narrower mtb rim which I subsequently realized has only 24 spokes (instead of 32), & is not ebike rated. It also required changes to the axle, rotor etc. Total cost was close to $200.
The repairer claimed the original rim was already cracked, & that they are duds anyway that fail by about age 5 years. However the spoke looked to me to have been over-tightened. He was unable to explain why he proceeded to do the original spoke replacement after observing the damage, and to tighten the spoke, which had 2 cracks around the spoke entry point on the rim, and which was also deformed outwards. (and to initially charge me for what was effectively wasted work). The appropriate, transparent, action would have been to have paused the spoke replacement, contacted me, and advised that the rim should be replaced. A completely unsatisfactory experience that has likely wiped $100s off the value of the bike. I won’t be revisiting this shop again.
