“Really enjoying the bike, I went with the mudguards option. Covered quite a few miles in the 1st couple of weeks of having the bike and those miles have been very leisurely with the assist. Would defo recommend it, everyone keeps asking me what bike it is”

“Had a couple of questions on the bike, since I'm a relative novice to cycling, however, the Avaris team answered all my questions and put my mind at ease. Bike arrived after around 4 days, easy to put together and I've been out for 6 rides now and I must say I'm really enjoying it, the assist is much stronger than I was expecting, so I only ever need to use it when taking on hills, but feel this could be the start of a new cycling future for me at the age of 54 :-)”

“The Avaris ebike has exceeded my expectations. It makes you get back into cycling again. The pedal assist makes you feel you're on flat ground when going up a hill. The bike is sleek and well built. There a couple of anomalies in the pamphlet but the guys in Avaris are happy to help on the phone. I would recommend to anyone.”

“Bought this bike last year. Its brilliant. Gets me up in to the hills again. ( I am seventy ). The battery lasts all day and really gives you a boost when you need it. Just one criticism. The inner tubes are fitted with Presta valves which IMHO are garbage. Wheels drilled out and Schrader valve tires fitted. Great bike..”

“Ok so like many a tough decision to go electric, having risen road bikes for years. At the price I thought it worth dipping my toe in the water. It arrived a little late, but very easy to put together. The electronic instruction leave a little to the imagination, as some points didn't seem for this bike, especially the electric control and display. I have had a couple of rides, one 20 miles and one 30. I used assist 1 and a bit of 2. What I found when I got back was that my heart rate was significantly less, but my work out was more fat burn than hard or cardio. When you are on the flat and moving about 15mph or more, the assist switches off and you then have a slight resistance, bit like a spin bike. I much prefer that as a work out. Had 2 plus bars out of 5 left on the battery on the 30 mile one and that included a long 2 mile steep uphill and a shorter but steeper one of 1 mile. If you are willing to use your own effort a bit, I can see this reaching a 50 odd mile range. So far so good. Tech support is ok and a quick message and a small token for late arrival and a new pack of bar tapes sent. Time will tell, but so far so good.”

“This is a great bike. There are bikes that cost 3 times as much that are only 20% better. My buying experience, company easy to contact via email, ordering no problem. Deliver via DX given tracking info which confirmed bike loaded onto local lorry - Leeds 8.00 am on agreed delivery day. Not able to track further on line. Driver arrived 5.00pm. Fortunately we we in all day. Spoke to Avaris who said driver should have called. Packaging - great no damage Assembly - watched the online video which is helpful. Mounting the handle bars, you will notice the video fudges this a bit, showing tightening not the mounting. Anyway I found it easier to remove the handle bar control display first. Charging - no problem, put battery on bike and read instructions. Please check if you have same printed info, ref to the batter pack lock having 3 positions including on. It only has 2 lock and unlock. It then refers to a "red button" on the pack to switch on. There is no red button but there is an i switch on the handle bar between + and - control. Hold for 5 sec, and all good to go. Not done any long runs but if you play silly Bu**ers and keep it on max for hills your battery will drain quickly. Keep on 1 -3 and you will have a day of support. Upgrades? Fitted SPD and Schwalbe marathon reflex tyres 700 x35, £34 at Halfords. We have an electric tandem and trust me a rear puncture is a pig to fix. So there is is a well priced electric racer, enjoy.”

“Having recently been diagnosed with arthritis, I wanted some way of keeping up with my fitness. After much research I bought my Avaris through the ride to work scheme. As someone who was once a keen cyclist I was disappointed when the bike first arrived - it weighs a ton! and the spec is bottom of the range. However after fitting some decent pedals and some new bar tape and a few experimental rides - I now love it. You still have to work hard (or as hard as you want to) but you have that bit of extra help when you need it. Buy the bike, I don't think you will regret it. Thanks to Jason for the technical support.”

“Just completed my first 100 km on one charge having got bike off santa. Apart from the hiccup of not knowing you change gear using the brake lever ( i felt a right plonker) i find the bike great. Much quicker than my hybrid bike. Cant wait to try it on the local gravel tracks in the summer.”

“Just completed my first 100km on one charge, after getting this bike for Christmas. I love it. I struggled to change gear at first until i went into a local cycle shop and she explained you change gear using the brake levers. I felt such an idiot. I owned a hybrid mountain bike before this but ive got to admit even without the motor on this bike flies. Its a great bike, not that heavy and an easy ride, i cant fault it. Roll on Summer”

“Really happy with my Avaris electric bike. It helps me to go much further than I would before and has helped me love cycling again. Although a big expense, it is excellent value for money overall, for the enjoyment the bike brings. Would definitely recommend this company too - the staff I spoke to were all very friendly and helpful.”

Hi Trevor, We've tried calling and emailing you, however, haven't been able to get a hold of you, so thought we'd also try to respond to your review directly. We have been investigating, what has happened to your new derailleur. The original new derailleur was sent on the 25th of October and upon investigation, it appears Hermes have lost this package and had not informed us of this. We use DX for delivering our eBikes and they generally offer a very high standard in terms of delivery and service. For sending smaller items and parts we've been using Hermes, however, due to their service levels we have now decided to use another partner for small package deliveries to provide a better service level. We are now going to send you another derailleur, we will email you the tracking details. Also, in regards to the paint, we have checked the original correspondence and can't find mention of an issue with the paint. All our bikes our Quality checked before being sent, so if there is damage, this must, unfortunately, have occurred after the bike left our warehouse. Please send us an email with images of the paint. We can offer you a 10% refund as a gesture of goodwill. Apologies for the essay :-) we wanted to make sure we've covered all bases in your queries. Many Thanks The Avaris Team

“As a 72 year old I wanted to get back into cycling, after many years and I though an E-bike would be more suitable at my age. The Avaris bike has been excellent so far, the battery gives a serious boost when required. It has enabled me to go further and hills are also now accessible for me. Highly recommended the Avaris bike. Regards, Derek”

“I'm still waiting on my Avaris bike to arrive!! I ordered the bike 6 days ago on a Friday which was the September weekend. I heard nothing till the Wednesday when I looked at the tracking details which said the bike was damaged and would be returned. I then called avaris who said someone would call me back which they did quickly. After a chat they asked if I would like a refund or another bike, well another bike please and it would arrive on Thursday. Today is Thursday evening and still no bike!!! So again I went onto the DX tracking for delivery which said " non delivery ". I've waited in all day on my day off and no phone calls from Avaris nor emails from DX. Soo disappointed with the last of communication from Avaris and DX. I wouldn't buy from them again nor recommend them. Also seen it cheaper elsewhere but wouldn't give a price match.

Hi Karen, Apologies for the delayed response on this, we were waiting to get all the information from our carrier DX. We've seen the order was placed on Friday 24th September at 3:44PM, this was past our 3Pm despatch cut off so the product was sent Monday morning on the 27th September, we then heard back from the carrier on Wednesday 29th September informing us the bike had been refused on delivery, and so was returned to us. I believe our customer services team then spoke to you and you confirmed you wanted the bike, so this was despatched on Thursday 30th September and delivered on Friday 1st October. It does appear as though there was a mix up with the carrier DX somewhere and they mentioned it was mis-scanned at some point. Although, we advertise 2-3 days delivery, our delivery is actually next day if ordered before 3PM. We have fallen short of our service expectations here so can only apologise. As a gesture of goodwill, would you be willing to receive a 10% refund for the inconvenience? Many Thanks The Avaris Team

“After weeks and weeks of research I chose the Avaras electric bike, since I could no longer resist the temptation of an e bike after cycling for 30 years. The assist on this bike is brilliant, but don’t be expecting miracles with the rest of the bike spec, if you are a cycling pro you may be disappointed, but if you are new to cycling or are a mid to high level rider, this bike is very competitively priced and you won’t be disappointed! It’s more than I could have hoped for, I’m now flying over hills 😊”

“I have waited for a few months before leaving this review as I was very sceptical at a new product of ebike on the market. I was an avid cyclist who very much enjoyed hitting long distance road rides everyday. However I had an accident and ended up suffering from quite severe arthritis. Reluctantly I had to sell my road bike as I just couldn’t hit the hills around my area anymore, so I decided on purchasing an ebike. I wanted a bike that didn’t look to much like an ebike and wanted a road style bike as well. The problem with this is that they are very expensive for what I wanted and then I found the avaris. I was very sceptical at first as it was on the cheaper side of this style. However this bike has exceeded all my expectations, with the great variety of levels to help you can get a good work out or simply just enjoy your ride. I would highly recommend this ebike. Thank you avaris for this great product”

“I was a little sceptical at first with it being what looked like a new brand and the price seemed too good to be true against the competition. However, the positive reviews and returns policy made my mind up. I absolutely love the bike, I’ve gone so much further than I would have done previously without the worry of getting too tired and the return journey being a struggle. I would recommend getting an E bike, it makes the cycling experience so much more enjoyable.”
