“We bought two bikes for Christmas in 2018 from FunBikes. We asked them to do the assembly so we could pick them up ready to go. We got a email to say the bikes where ready ( a 140cc RF and a Quad) When we got there a guy gave us a complete run down on both machines before we took them.Had some teething problems after a month or so riding. I rang them, spoke to their mechanic and he told me how to remedy the problem, a simple fix. Never had a problem with the staff or the phone or the bikes. I did have a problem with a battery (under warranty)so I rang FunBikes (James) I'll put one in the post. I've read some of the bad reviews written here. They seem to be written by the same person using different names. 'Check the spelling/grammer' . If you want a new bike and don't want to break the bank go and see FunBikes for yourself.”

“Wouldn't bother with this company I got my son a bike christmas paid £400 for this bike to have a faulty battery from day 1, they expected me to do test on the bike and battery and still nothing been resolved even tho ive been on the phone to them since January and now we are in september, the battery has been sent back twice now and they want me to pay for a new battery i don't think so 🤔 I could understand if this happened after the warranty run out but no it was from day 1. I have seen a lot of people now having this same issue do dont buy a bike or anything g from this company they are a joke and waste of time. Customer services are a joke and andrew the manager says he wants to get the problem solved as its been going on long enough but then tells me today I can buy a battery off them for £100 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I don't think so. You have all been warned”

“This company is shocking and I don’t think there even working they keep you hanging on phone line when there not even there. I’ve been trying for over 6 months now to get through for spares for bikes that have. Broken there basically scrap now because you can’t get spare parts and if you order on there website there out of stock. If you read this just answer the phone people have given you a lot of money for bikes etc at least you should have the decency to answer there calls.”

“I have purchased 5 bikes from the company over the years and i've never had an issue with any off the bikes until the latest which was only a small issue with the battery which after some quick dialog with their lead technical adviser they had a battery in the post the next day. For me their customer service is brilliant.”

“Bought an electric dirt bike for my son at Christmas which cost about £350 and in June just stopped working , On contacting them we was told the warranty is only for 3 months but clearly faulty so sent back to them !!! Tests were done and I was told it was 100% faulty and didn’t pass the 1st fault test and that everything is recorded , I’ve bought £35 electric ride ons that last longer !!!!! They are now refusing to replace and want me to pay £170 for a new battery !!!! No discount nothing !!! Manager informed me to either buy the battery or sell the bike !!!! This is disgusting and I would not buy from this company as the battery will only last 6 months max !!!! The same thing has happened to our friends bike , DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS COMPANY !!! I’ve a very upset little boy”

“After me and some friends buying 3 pit bikes this year from fun bikes without a problem$$$$ BUT AFTER buying some parts online from fun bikes I had made an error and ordered a part that is not compatible with my bike. This is where the whole problem started. I spent at least 2-3 hours trying to get through to there parts department even one time I had the phone answered to be hung up on after a brief hello. After a few hours I got through to them again and the rep ordered the right parts for me and assured me I could return the wrong parts :) hooray I thought.. two days later the parts arrived and they where aslso wrong.. after about 5 days of calling everyday and twice being told by representatives they could t help me because the “guy” who deals with the parts isn’t in and they would call me the same day at 3pm.. never happened on both occasions. After about a week I finally got through to someone that sounded quite promising. A manager called Sameer. He assured me that he would sort the problem out and handle the returns. He sent an email to his manager and I had a phone call from one of the owners of fun bikes on a withheld number. We spoke he went into my account and seen the bike and all the parts I had ordered. Assured me the right parts have now been sent with a returns slip for all the wrong parts.... even before hanging up the phone I didn’t trust him. His voice just didn’t seem sure ya noo? I asked him about the returns he sighed and said there would be a return slip sent with my new parts 😂 and to my surprise there wasn’t !! When the new parts arrived they where also wrong :) so at this point I ya e phones transactions over the cause of three weeks adding up to 7 and half hours of being on hold. No parts for my bike. And I’m £90 down.... so I email them again with a description of the problem. Ring them after the weekendon Monday morning to be told my email wouldn’t have been read untill later that afternoon. But then again obviously the other 3-4 emails I’ve sent and had no replie to over the two weeks most not have been read either ha... told yesterday that sameer there manger is useless and that he would have my problem sorted by the end of the day.. honestly I don’t know why I bothered to believe him. All in all. If you spend money on a bike from them you you’ll receive it. Just don’t expect good customer service. And honestly even after listening to your phone lines for 7and half hours no and I mean no one is going to believe that monologue. Well I’m going to make my morning coffee and commence my daily phone call to funbikes....”

“Absolutely disgusted. I am a new rider who messaged to ask about a suitable bike and I got one or two word replies making me feel stupid. I enquires about the different sizes and got them seat size would be the main clue’ as a response. You won’t sell many bikes with that disgusting attitude towards new customers and people new to the sport. I was asking for general information. I didn’t need a side of sarcasm. Well done. You really put the ‘fun’ in ‘fun bikes’. *thumbs up*”

“The most awful company we’ve ever dealt with. Bought a £500+ electric motor cross bike for our young son for Christmas. On Boxing Day things started to go wrong with it! Since then he’s only rode it on the garden at weekends for a total of 6 hrs and it has been out of action due to things breaking more than it has been ridden. It has been returned twice for repair and although it’s clearly not fit for purpose fun bikes have refused to refund or credit note the bike even though it is well within warranty. Funbikes have even acknowledged that the repair work performed by their technicians has lead to further faults but they refuse to take any responsibility. Finally we had to nag with more emails and phone calls to get them to return the bike to us, to find parts are still not repaired on its arrival. So we are left with a faulty, dangerous bike that is not fit for purpose and our very upset son still has no Christmas present. We will be looking for a more reliable, honest company to replace our sons Christmas present to a safer, better quality motorbike. Leaving us very out of pocket. Funbikes will not be receiving any further custom from us when we purchase other vehicles in the future and considering we have 3 young boys all into motorbikes and quad bikes, that’s many years of custom lost. We have contacted trading standards and we will be taking the matter further. As a company they are rude, have ignored our emails, not returned phone calls, have absolutely no morals and have not given us any satisfaction or confidence that this issue will not be ongoing. They make decisions solely to benefit their business not their clients, without any justification. Their products are cheap and poor quality and their customer service is atrocious. A total rip off!! Unless you want to waste your money on goods that only last a day and are dangerous, do not buy from this company!”

“Bad customer service. Was sold a faulty bike upside down buttons and when I rode it the lithium battery started getting hit and smelly, immediately turned it off and walked the rest of the way. Also charged it for 6 hours and it only rode for like 20mins, when I emailed the customer service I was given a reply saying “ no idea who u are or if your even a customer or what bike u got, send reference” great customer service chaps will definitely be coming here a lot, NOT. Waste of £1k that’s a lot of money I saved up and they just don’t care I guess once they have the money they don’t want anything to do with you. Be careful shopping here dodgy place tbh. Thanks”
