Hi, as stated we apologise but as our Talaria brand has just announced huge price reductions across the range we cannot offer prices to purchase vehicles quoted from 3 weeks ago. this is unfortunate circumstances but affects multiple vehicles not just your own. we wish you all the best in selling your vehicle before the prices drop online.

My son and I looked for hours for a reputable dealer that had the knowledge about the bike we were looking for, i can fully recommend this dealer for anyone who is a novice when it comes to electric dirt bikes or a professional, Matt was so helpful and keen to answer every question, they also do an amazing Decal upgrade which we purchased!

Talaria Sting R

Answered all my questions, I put a deposit down on a Monday and the bike was delivered Monday night and it was free delivery! excellent service and the bike was fully ready to ride, talked me through all the bikes controls and wasn’t in a rush even though it was late, thank you Lucas cycles!

Part exchange refusal.

Contacted Lucas Cycles regarding the purchase of a new motorcycle but was told they were not interested in taking the bike I’d bought from them a year (or so) earlier in part exchange.

Hi, we do not take every make and model

We deal with talaria off road and low mileage road bikes only upto 3yr old

Believe leaving a review for that us quite harsh

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Amazing service. Bikes built and delivered to your door

Purchased a Talaria Sting R this week. Matt delivered mine and a friend's within 2 days of ordering and I'm nearly 5 hours away from the shop. Bikes are pre built and ready to ride from delivery. Super smooth service and very helpful. Will definitely be recommending Lucas cycles to others. Pleasure doing business.

Unfortunate Experience Seller does not…

Unfortunate Experience Seller does not offer payment protection for buyers - was happy to take a deposit via pay pal, but wanted the balance payment into his bank.  For online sales - all the signs of a scam, no online solution offered, so had to charge back my deposit.  Also I had to point out damage on the seat which was not mentioned in his ebay listing. Not to be trusted, So NOT Recommended.

Customer contacted via Ebay from abroad asked about vehicle and potential purchase including if the seat was ripped.

We stated it was and would replaced included in the sale of vehicle. Customer placed order on our website £200 deposit and vehicle was ready to go three days later.

After sending invoice and stating he could pay via Credit, debit card, cash or bank transfer he then decided to send 5 diffrent payments via PayPal of of amounts from 3 different bank accounts and addresses.

This immediately sent red flags in which we contacted the customer and stated we reversed the paypal payments excluding the original deposit as per terms and conditions.

Other options were explained via Card, cash or bank transfer but Mr Geoffrey White became very abusive via phone and email. We declined to sell vehicle to him as he refused to see vehicle and wanted to send a seperate courier for the bike.

We had no intention of being scammed so parted ways with the customer and refunded original deposit via PayPal.

Any customer is free to view a vehicle before purchase. And no we do not accept PayPal for motor vehicles as PayPal.do not give buyer or seller protection cover as per their own Terms and Conditions.
