Going The Extra Mile
I ordered a bike from Activ Cycles and could not be happier. The customer service was second to none and I couldn't have wished for more. My bike arrived on time, was built as requested and competitively priced.

Quick easy and helpful
Easy to order and quick to be ready for collection. I rang in the morning of collection and they said they were giving it a once over before I got there, then when I was picking it up they asked me to bring the bike back once my boy has had a few rides to make sure everything is still set up right and even offered for me to bring my bike in to give it a once over. Highly recommend.

Very helpful and informative staff!
I really appreciated being talked through all the features on my new bike. It’s been a long time since I have bought a new bike and I was so grateful for the walkthrough and ensuring the bike was set up for me.

Dealing with ACTIV Cycles was an excellent experience. They delivered my new bike and then took time to go though the operation of the Bosch electric motor system. Helpful with some minor queries.
