Excellent bike just what l need after a knee replacement at 68.
Happy with the bike, done nearly 100 miles no issues thus far. Great quality product hard to predict what a bike is going to be like if you can’t get to a store to see it, I was skeptical at first but im not disappointed in any way.
What can I say? Received my Ampere X-Trail Electric Mountain Bike last week and built it myself. Jarred gave me the best advice as I’m 6’6’ I am now riding a 21’ frame on 29’ wheels. It’s awesome and far superior to what’s out there @ a very reasonable price too, a lot for your money. Thanks Eco-bike Company, mega!! 😍
The bike wouldn't look right without it. Very bright perfect for dark mornings.
Lovely to look at, comfortable ride but hill performance is lacking. Only to be expected as this is a hub motor. Manages 18 miles on a single charge but don't expect to be able to go more than a snails pace without pedal assist. Having said all that it is thing of beauty and ideal for urban environment (as long as there are no hills). My kids love riding on the back. We use a kids motorcycle harness to make sure they don't wobble off.
As a city commuter bike on a smooth surface it is a pleasure to ride and amply powerful enough. I ran the battery flat as a test and did 56 miles. The motor struggles and stops up some very steep slopes in North Wales which other electric bikes get up. I bought a wider soft saddle and would have liked full suspension in hindsight. Folding is very easy, I ride out for miles and then fold it up and get on a train to come home. Folded it easily stores inside my caravan to keep it secure.
I love this bike but a couple of problems have occurred, 1, my seat is coming away and the other is whilst riding my bike the handlebars collapsed, some kind of bolt had come away which I hadn't noticed I had to put a stick through to try and get home but it didn't work and my husband had to pick me up, I use my bike to commute to work so had to do a quick fix from another bike shop
I loved this bike, but had to send it back as I needed something smaller. I think for me, as someone who needs to get trains buses, occasional taxis to work, it was just a bit too big and heavy. A real shame as it would have been perfect otherwise. It was delivered exactly on time and correspondence was good when I needed to return it. I think if you are only using trains it’s great, but if you need to get a bus or put it in a taxi, it’s a big too heavy and large.
Great bike. Good quality. Good for assistance but extra boost when needed. Use the bike every day & battery lasts well. So far so gd, no problems. Only had the bike a couple of weeks though.
After doing research for E-Bikes chose Ampere Deluxe Step Through Electric Bike. Also do 16" frame in this model which is perfect for my height. Customer service was very helpful advising which was the best bike for me and I was able to have a test ride of model at Sutton-in-Ashfield which clinched my choice. Excellent quality bike, comfortable to ride, gears and assist easy to use. Has everything I need on a bike, mud guards, panier rack and lights. Wish I'd bought one sooner, the boost up hills is amazing, no more having to walk up them. Service received from Eckobike Company was excellent and delivered on time.

It's one of the best things I've ever bought myself.
Excellent 👌 service from white glove service , very knowledgable in the transfer of information on each bike . Thankyou as it’s s long journey up to Scotland .
Really happy with my new Odyssey mountain bike. Easy to get road ready and first ride was great. Went for what I would have considered a long ride on my old bike and found it very much more achievable using only level 1 assistance. Only required higher level of assistance on a very steep hill that I used to struggle with. It was a big purchase that I thought very seriously about but absolutely no regrets. Very high spec for the money. Could have paid a lot more if I had not found this bike.The free 10 days insurance was a great idea that gives you time to shop around without doing anything in a rush. Cant see me riding my old bike again!
Very well made and good looking folding e-bike. Could not believe the help it gives up steepish hills. High recommend the full throttle option - what fun!! Marvellous post sales service from Eco Bike - very quick and pleasant staff on the phone.
I ordered the ebike from Eco Bikes, who sent me a confirmstion of the order. I had to chase up the order as Avaris sent out the bike without any dispatch notificaction, and the bike went missing in the post for a few days. On arrival, there was some damage to the bike which Eco bikes kindly paid to have repaired. They have been very helpfull. I did opt for the pre service pack, but the bike still needed 2 visits to the local bike shop to get it set up (new derailer, replacement control unit, height adjustment of levers and new tape, and a few other things). The bike is great though. I ride it mostly without using any assistance, but it is helpful on the really steep hills to know that you have some help, and it actually encourages you to go further and take more daring routes, and also push yourself harder. I've cycled a few hundered miles on it now and have done some rides of 80km + in Wales recently without any issues battery-wise. It has done well on roads, gravel paths and canal tow paths. It is good value for money, and has been a good investment.
I liked the fact that it was delivered pre built but the delivery service company employed didn't know much about the bike and he was keen to get away. So the how to use it part isn't great but it is serviced and built pre delivery which is what I wanted. so im happy
Bought as a surprise birthday present and boy was he chuffed excellent bike will send a picture soon , the whole experience with Katie Jarrad was excellent , and i always know if I have any queries I can get in touch anytime
Great bike having reached pension age and arthritis in shoulder, out and about on road bike was becoming a struggle. This bike has transformed my life and now enjoying being back in the saddle with the comfort of having that bit of assistance when required. Great value for money and excellent service from order to delivery and after sales query
The bike is beautiful, smooth ride and very robust. Less impressed with the aftercare and instructions for assembling the bike, but that is a small matter. Good company that have looked after me buying a massive life changing purchase now I am free from the tyranny of the car. Thanks guys
