Fantastic service!

We have old Bromptons, which in the past have been serviced by Biketrax exceptionally well. We were horrified to hear that Biketrax had lost the franchise/licence to sell Bromptons, and that it had been awarded to Edinburgh Bike Co-op. Reluctantly we had our Bromptons serviced at the nearest Edinburgh Bike Co-op which is in Aberdeen. The service was appalling, in stark contrast to fantastic service from Biketrax.

A couple of days ago, the folding pedal fell off my Brompton bike in Edinburgh so I popped in to Biketrax to find out whether they might have the correct part in stock, expecting that if they did I would be told to leave the bike and would get it back in a week’s time, however the pedal was replaced there and then within about 1 minute. The staff are extremely pleasant, skilful and knowledgeable. I wouldn’t chose to go anywhere else.

Speedy delivery and good stock

Speedy delivery and good stock. Would have liked a cheaper delivery option though (e.g. 2nd class post).

Hi! Thanks for your review. We used to offer Royal Mail delivery, but unfortunately we got a high incidence of lost packages, having been on the other end of tris, we're of the opinion that a mail order business is only as good as it's delivery service - so we went for the ever reliable (though a bit more expensive) DHL.

Quick and easy

Website was quick and easy to navigate and our purchase was delivered as promised. Can't ask for any more than that.

Friendly and helpful

Very accommodating and friendly bunch. Cool shop! Front suspension on bike was in poor state and sticky. Was a distraction on the rough terrain. Overall very positive experience

I'm sorry that you are unhappy with your experience with us. I would ask you to re-consider your review in light of the fact that we have demonstrated to you that there were no faults with the bike you hired - as confirmed by our service history and checks conducted with you after you returned it - and that we tried our very best to help you by swapping bike types for you at short notice, with no extra cost to yourself after you had already started the hire.

We try our very best to give all our customers a great experience, and we explain everything we possibly can (particularly when concerning eBikes, which may be novel to lots of customers) before the bikes leave the shop. Of course, sometimes in this bulk of information, or when circumstances change (like when bikes are swapped) things can get lost. This is what has happened in this case.

Again, we are sorry that you are unhappy with this transaction, and we will be happy to help you again in future should you need our services.

Very good rental bike

Very good rental bike. They got my position dialed in and I didn't need to change it (which was fortunate as they frowned up making adjustments to anything carbon ...). Location of the shop is great. Super cool and helpful staff.

I contacted biketrax from Italy

I contacted biketrax from Italy, to make a birthday surprise for my son who was at that time in Italy for a short vacation but lives and works in Edinburgh.
I received assistance and professional advice, I paid on the fly with paypal and the boys immediately activated themselves to make sure that the lucky one (byketrax's bikes are TOP) could pick it up on the first Saturday since his return to Edinburgh.
In this way I only had to send my son a photo of the bicycle, an address and best wishes.

Thank you Luke and Will, it was a pleasure to buy from you, see you at the first opportunity.

Hired a bike trailer from here

Hired a bike trailer from here. The staff were brilliant and great with my toddler. Trailer was in good condition and safe... unlike the one I hired from another bike shop in Edinburgh.

First Class Brompton Suppliers.

From time to time I have dealt with Biketrax for over 15 years for spare or replacement parts or accessories, always for a Brompton. They have never failed to be helpful, polite, and speedy. I recommend them without reserve. Keith Donaldson.

Well organised

I rented a bike for the day from Biketrax Edinburgh. Everything went very well; they were well organised in the shop, the bike was as advertised and well maintained. Will rent from these guys again!
