I regret ever buying a Popal bicycle
I regret ever buying a Popal bicycle. Within just one year, it turned into a disaster. First, the gears started slipping. Then the brakes wore out unusually fast. Eventually, even the frame started showing cracks—yes, the bike's actual construction failed. For a product that’s supposed to be roadworthy, this is unacceptable.
To make matters worse, Popal refuses to take responsibility for any of the broken parts. Their customer service is a joke, which is completely unhelpful and dismissive. When I tried to order replacement parts, I was told I’d have to wait four months. Four months for a basic spare part? That’s beyond ridiculous.
This brand clearly doesn’t stand behind its products. If you’re thinking of buying a Popal bike, do yourself a favour and look elsewhere. Cheap build, zero accountability, and a support system that might as well not exist.
I spoke with many bicycle dealers in Heemstede and Hoofddorp, and they refused to sell the Popal bicycle because of poor customer service.
