What our customers say
from 693 reviewsBought ampere trail x great bike great service will definitely use again
The lock itself is sturdy and ergonomic, it fits over my helmet when I just throw it on one shoulder and sits comfortably over the top of my backpack without causing me any discomfort. The fabric cover over the chain is fantastic at protecting the bikes paint from scratching while you put the chain on. Barely any of the chain actually protrudes from the cover allowing for better security. All round a smashing lock.
It always makes me chuckle how many people this bike has amazed with its folding ability. For such a big bike it folds up fantastically especially for people like me who keeps it indoors. The ease of use and function of the electric motor is top of the range. If I could go back and choose another bike to get I would choose this one every time
We bought this to replace a Specialized Como step through for my wife who is only 5’3” tall. The Como cost £1,000 more, was too big (even though we had the small version) and way too heavy.
The 26” wheels on the Ampere make this a perfect choice for smaller riders. My wife is a lot more confident riding this and, for the type of riding she will be doing, it is perfect. My only negative points are that the display can be difficult to read in sunlight and there are no bottle mount points because the battery is in the top of the down tube rather than underneath like many other bikes. Neither of those detract from this being a great bike.
All of the components are pretty much standard Shimano items so I don’t expect any problems maintaining and serving this myself. I paid extra for the 12 month extended warranty to give me cover for the motor, battery and electronics. Hopefully I won’t need it!!
I am only 5ft and struggled to ride my old folding e-bike any real distance as it was so slow- however I have just purchased the 16 inch Amphere Delux and it’s absolutely a dream to ride!
It’s so light and responsive- happy days!!!!
I bought the Ampere Deluxe Step Through Electric Bike as a birthday present for my wife and she loves it. I opted for the Ampere as I wanted a bike that was UK manufactured and well-suited to tackling hilly, rural terrain. We’ve only had the bike a few weeks, but from initial impressions the build quality and ride is very good. The bike required some assembly out of the box (handle bars, pedals, front wheel etc.) which took about half an hour and the instructions were easy enough to follow. The bike took 12 days from order to delivery, the only downside was the delivery company delivered it to the wrong address, which was a bit of an inconvenience.
Absolutely loving my Ampere Deluxe. Finally a bike that’s comfortable for my 5ft 2 and a bit height . Can not wait to get it on the back of the motorhome and ride around the French villages on my next adventure. Only had it just over a week and already had so many comments on the stunning colour.
My chain look solid and scary hope will be enough to keep away or keep to long to give up by cutting. The material is high reflective what give me extra visibility when I have on me.
I'm happy with and general supper happy with the bike I get from ecobike . Cycle every day and chain make me more secure all best !!!
My bike arrived today, easy to assemble and the staff have been very helpful. Delighted with it.
I got just few days a go and constantly use it , bought by using cycle scheme and eco bike help me out better like my locals bicycle shops . Take a week to deliver by FedEx. Bike is absolutely awesome without doubt, ride very quick on 3 gear support, the design and quality make people look on you , I'm very happy so far . Thanks eco bike
I ordered my first e bike through the cycle2work scheme from the ecobike company (with the help of Jarred).
The customer service was second to none. Jarred helped me through every step of the way. I'm now eagerly awaiting my new bike like a kid at christmas. Thank you so much everyone at the ecobike company, especially Jarred.
I love this bike. I use it for commuting and for taking our Cocker Spaniels out running through the local parks nearby (which they love). If you think you'll spend time on rough terrain I can confirm it has no problem whatsoever and I can easily stay ahead of the dogs. For normal road use it's great as well, although you have to get used to leaning into the corners due to those fat tyres.
It's worth noting that it's a big bike and very heavy, ideally you won't be taking this up and down stairs often. Even getting the battery in and out requires some strength and skill as you'll be holding the bike, hinged open 90 degrees with one hand, and taking the battery out with the other, although this is easy enough once you get the hang of it. You avoid this by charging the battery directly via a plug on the bike frame, if you have mains near where you're storing it. I'd also recommend getting a timer for the socket to avoid over charging. Charging from near empty to full takes 4 to 5 hours. I have the 10Ah battery which lasts me 2 days before I charge it but I use it a lot, I might have opted for a higher Ah in hindsight but I'm happy with it's capacity as it stands.
In answer to the other review, the battery level reading changes depending on the load you're putting on it. So if I crank the assistance level up from 3 to 5 then in will, based on the current level of use, say I have less charge in the battery than before as I'm draining more charge at that point.
Overall very happy and would recommend.

Purchasing the Emu Evo Ebike has been life changing for me, as I suffer with asthma but now get propelled up the hills, with no more struggling. Only wish I had bought one sooner, recommend to anyone, sarah.
