The team went above and beyond

The team went above and beyond. If you're looking for a super cool ebike that turns heads, and want the peace of mind that what you buying is covered under warranty and repair, then buy your Mate bike from the team at the store in Covent Garden. They just opened and have bikes in stock. Thanks again!

Mate X purchase - excellent.

I purchased a Mate X which I am extremely happy with. The bike is made of high quality components & performs beautifully. I have no regrets regarding my purchase. I had one minor issue which was dealt with very efficiently by Andrew & Saad. This gives me the confidence that should I have any future issues they will be there to assist. Many thanks.

Very pushful staff member forcing me to test ride a bike after I’m saying no pushing a green fat tyre bike in front of me as if his stopping me from walking away unless I took it for a test ride

Not sure what his name was but was wearing a silver chain on his black jeans

Will be going a different route so I don’t pass this shop again

Hi Daniel

Thank you very much for taking the time to review. This really is not the impression we aim to give from our stores. What I will say is we have just opened and we have brand new employees in the store and their enthusiasm and pro activity is very high. We have tasked them with getting as many customers out on test rides as possible to show what a fun experience it is to ride a MATE.

That said, it is no excuse for being pushy or forceful in terms of offering rides for members of the public. If you have the time, I would really appreciate a call to get a little more feedback on your experience. As a small company all feedback is valuable and really does make a difference to how we operate. Our team is friendly and we certainly don't want you feeling you need to change route to avoid them.

If you get the time to call, I would very much appreciate it.


All the best,
Andrew

Very friendly and professional staff and with a good sense of humour.
Mr. Uche, store manager hosted me and we've done a little tour at the shop. This e-bikes mate x model are absolutely amazing, very high quality of construction and it stands out from any other bike. The colours are wicked and the riding is very comfortable and smooth .
Definitely a place worth to visit , test, enjoy and buy these beautiful bikes with lot's of colour options .
The colour I would choose for myself would be the metallic green which is absolutely out of this world. All the best and success!

Another converted road bike enthusiast

Being an avid road biker for several years pre-Covid, I was sceptical about the latest e-bike trend. Much like e-scooters, I thought they’d be a passing trend but I was mistaken. With many well known brands releasing their own variants now, e-bikes are definitely here to stay. I’d had a look at a couple of bikes from other brands that seemed to concentrate all their efforts on making an e-bike look like a road bike. For me personally, they mostly all look as if they have a bad case of indigestion in their down tube with swollen parts that make it clear there’s a battery there. What appealed to me about the Mate.bike was that it wasn’t trying to look like another type of bike, it was perfectly comfortable being itself, an e-bike. The other bikes I had tested from similar brands had locked down any maintenance to their own mechanics but the Mate uses the majority of parts a normal fat bike would use, bar the battery of course! I decided to test ride the bike before I made my choice. Greeted by the knowledgeable Aytaç, he explained all the features of the bike without trying to sell me whatever he had in stock (as other bike shops usually do). He made sure I knew all about the various models before I made my decision. I decided to settle on a 250w Palm Angels with a couple of customisable extras (to make it my own!). From test ride to picking up my bike, the entire process was super simple. I even used the cycle to work scheme to help purchase it and had the bike in-hand all within a couple of days. All the extras were installed in-store for me, ready for me to ride away into the sunset (I literally did as I collected it after work for my commute home!). I even asked for an accompanied test ride on the actual bike I was collecting to make sure I was comfortable riding it alone, to which they more than happily obliged. I’m sitting here just having ridden home with a smile from ear to ear with how happy I am with the bike. Now let the customisations begin! I would definitely consider taking one of these for a spin if you’re on the fence about your next N+1 bike. Why did I purchase a Mate? Unreliable public transport, increased travelcard costs, getting back into cycling after knee surgery and needing an extra push (in the form of a battery), contributing positively to the environment as compared to other means of transport, bonus of being foldable and saving space for storage both at home and at work, a way of transporting kids short distances to/from after school clubs without a huge cargo bike or car, simplicity of removing the battery to charge or leaving it charging while still in the bike, a more comfortable ride with suspension, and lastly the fun aspect!

Very problematic bike - Waste of money

The bike would have an issue with itself every month, fragile to use; not only will the motors fail you but so will parts of the frame start falling off; battery sparking and making fire; front wheel falling off while cycling… many more issues…
Wouldn’t recommend buying unless you want to be disappointed and lose your money or put your life at risk…

Hi Gessica

Thank you for taking the time to review us. We are obviously aware that you had a few issues in your time as a customer with us, above average for a MATE rider without a doubt. We would like to think that we dealt with every issue quickly and with dignity and respect. We went well above policy in this case and even picked up the bike from your home on more than one occasion and also replaced all electrical components under warranty to give you a fresh start, before offering a more than fair refund cost for a heavily used bike. It's undoubtedly a shame that the bike never performed consistently throughout the year or so that you had it and we always use good and not so good experience to help us improve our service, and the quality of the bikes.

We wish you all the best moving forward,
Andrew,
Customer Success Manager

My display developed a fault after approximately 150 miles, so I enquired if Mate had seen this problem before. Without hesitation they sent a brand new display the next day. Amazing customer support for an amazing product!

Soooooo much fun.

To be honest, it should be 4.5 stars as nothing is perfect.

Luvving my Mate, Moncler. At 62 I've arthritus in my kness so had to give up regular cycling. No more with Moncler, superb.

Use the throttle to start off, then no more. The Pedal assist is superb, use it in conjunction with the gears for the best effect.

Delightful autumn afternoon yesterday, charging around on the grass on Clapham Common, then some hill climbing in Norwood and onto Brockwell Park and more charging around. Given that we ascended to Crystal Palace, no mean feat. Moncler never failed, I had to Pedal, my legs tell me that, although not my knees.

So,So, much fun. Moncler is a little on the heavy side, takes some getting used to.

Used it on a pootle on Sunday, well on target for 60 miles. Unlock it and ride, down at least 20%, then you would expect that.

Battery Charger Problem

Tony had a serious problem with charging the battery on his Mate X 750, He contacted yourselves and was informed that they would send him a replacement asap. The bike was still under warranty. Everything was dealt with efficiently and quickly. Job Done.
