I had a truly terrible experience with Freego, the electric scooter company. The scooter I received was an absolute disaster from the get-go. First off, the telescopic adjustment was completel... See more

The customer service is abysmal.

All the following is from my personal experience with this Company.
The customer service is abysmal.
The pricing is very high.
The sales pitch is everything you want to hear but is not fulfilled..

Initially spoke to Mr Eric Lane Director of Freego Bikes by telephone then created a thread email with Mr Lane. Mr Lane works from the office above Portswood Cycles in Southampton and all conversations with staff members was directed by them to Mr Lane for advice.

The 'personal' advice given is of great concern when you think that the thinking of the salesman must reflect on their lack of professional sentiment. I was told to sell my bike privately for a price which will sell in a week, but once the sale has gone through it is 'buyer beware' so they cant come back to you when they discover the faults. Not the professional approach you would expect from the sales force.

Company policy seem to not understand the concepts of;
Managing Customer expectation.
Giving realistic advice on time lines.

Sales force advice relating to the following, are just smiled and laughed at.
Only holds stock sufficient for very short term requirements.
Slow delivery schedules.
Lack of customer notifications and updates.
Inability to uphold previously discussed options.

I would never recommend this company as I would be concerned with regard to the service given and I would not wish to be associated with such a Company publicly.
Some good products at times but be warned that models change and therefore so do parts and the availability of the parts etc.

I have never known an occasion when 'good customer service' has resulted in a disgruntled customer.

This review that has been aimed at FreeGo Electric Bikes is totally unjustified
FreeGo do not sell bikes directly to the customer but through a network of over 100 independent retailers nationwide. With this in mind, the complaint should have been levied against the retailer concerned and not FreeGo
FreeGo have distributed over 12000 Electric Bikes in the UK over the past 8 years. There has never been an instance when a bike cannot be repaired or parts not available for any length of time
Having spoken to the retailer concerned, they made every effort to offer solutions to Mr Scott to get his bike (purchased in March 2014) back on the road. He declined these options and even refused to pay his bill for the work he had asked to be done

Why I decided on the “Freego Eagle”...

I have recently replaced my old electric bike with the “Freego Eagle” I am very pleased with it so far. I chose this bike after much deliberation, the deciding factors were.
1/ 2yrs extended warranty 4yrs on frame.
2/ Build quality, looks a sturdy bike.
3/ Hydraulic disc brakes front and back.
4/ Got it for an excellent price £500 saving from e-bikesdirect.com £999 for the 10amh battery version.
5/ loved the test ride of the “Hawk” I had at my local bike shop “Michelle’s”.
But went for the Eagle as it had a few more extras, and a higher payload.

Still early days but very pleased so far.
Only small gripe is the Saddle is a bit uncomfortable for me, but to be fair I have this trouble with all the bikes I’ve had.

Thank you Rob for your kind review. You really did get a fantastic deal on the bike. Regarding the saddle, this is a regular discussion point, both from our respect as the manufacturer and also your respect, as the customer, simply because there are so many options available. It's very difficult to find the best one to fit as standard. Hope you find one that suits you well and once again, thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback, much appreciated

I have recently purchased a Freego Eagle electric bike. Although it's early days as far as the bike is concerned, I'm in no doubt that if I have a problem it will be sorted to my satisfaction.
The customer care I have had from this company so far has been what I consider exceptional.

Mr Deane has received a full refund for the bikes purchased 12 months ago that he seems to be dissatisfied with. He has constantly tried changing settings in the back set up menu (which he admits) which caused failures in the controller due to overloading it's components. The matter is now closed

Freego Electric Folding Bike

Failure after failure and weeks without the bike. I have a Freego electric Folding bike and I have concerns that it is not legal to ride without insurance, tax and MOT. As you can alter the top speed to 32mph in the settings. Freego states when you buy their bikes you buy an experience mine has been a nightmare one. I had to get a credit card company to refund me for the spare batteries. The other issues are still on going after 13 weeks.
Freego offered a refund then changed their mind offered to pay my return costs then again changed their minds. I and others have riden these bikes at speeds greater than 15.5 mph. There is a problem with their software. The selling point was that parts would be posted to me in Europe, but after one claim they refused to send any more parts as I was having too many problems. The seller then claimed it was not a service they or Freego do. If you want parts you have to return to the UK from EU. What good are these bikes to a person touring Europe in a motorhome. So there you have it in the response from Freego do not have a problem outside of the UK.

FreeGo have made every attempt to rectify the situation. Mr Deane is currently touring Europe with his bikes and has refused to return them to the UK for any problems to be rectified. FreeGo even offered to refund his travel expenses once he is back in the UK. Our warranty clearly states that any warranty issues are to be taken care of in the UK as we have no overseas Stockists. The bikes are completely legal and conform to EN15194 (EU safety standard test). We can only presume that the calibration settings on the display have been altered. This would still not enable the bike to exceed the 15.5 mph legal limit as this is limited by the software in the controller, but an incorrect speed reading would appear on the display
