Demo Bikes
TRY BEFORE YOU BUY!
Seen a bike you like the look of but really want to try it first before you make that final decision?
Well you're in luck! At Pedalz we have a great range of demo bikes available from most of the brands we have in store. So you can make sure that new bike you've had your eye on rides just how you expected it to!
Our demo bikes are available to try for 2 consecutive days at any one time. Demo rides are available at a fixed cost of £80. This is then given back to you as a discount if you then choose to place an order for any new bike with ourselves.
What If You Don't Have The Bike I'd Like To Demo?
If we don't have the exact bike you'd like to demo from one of the brands we have in store please give us a call. With some of the brands we have available the suppliers have a demo fleet available that we can call from, so we may be able to get the bike delivered to us for you to demo from the supplier.
Can I Buy A Demo Bike You've Had In Store?
Yes you can!
We normally sell our demo bikes at the end of the season (typically September/October) It's a great way to grab yourself a bargain too! Our demo bikes are maintained to the highest standard in store with all the best products we have available. Most of our demo bikes have Slicy frame protection kits fitted to them from new too so they're protected from day one!
If you'd like to reserve one of our demo bikes to purchase just get in touch, we'll take a small deposit of £200 and the bike is then reserved for you as soon as it comes up for sale. Some demo bikes can be sold earlier in the year too as long as we can get a replacement so always speak to us if you're potentially interested in one and the savings that will be available on them.
How Does It Work?
- If you'd like to arrange a demo please contact us in advance to discuss which bike you'd like to try and arrange a date to collect the bike
- When you come in to collect the demo bike we'll ask you to fill out one of our demo forms with some of your basic contact details. We'll also require you to bring in a nationally recognised form of valid photo ID.
Eg/ Photocard driving licence or Passport
- Once you've completed the form and we've taken a copy of your ID we will then require a deposit on a credit or debit card for £1,000. (The card used must be registered to the same address as shown on your photo ID)
- We'll then make sure the demo bike is set up to suit your weight, riding style etc so it performs as it should for you (please allow 25-30 minutes when you come to collect the demo bike to allow us to do this for you along with the paperwork, etc)
- You can then take the bike for the next 2 days, returning it before close of business on the 2nd day or by 10am on the morning of the 3rd day
- Once the bike is returned we will inspect it for any damage (other than wear and tear) Once its been checked in and is in satisfactory condition we will then refund your card that you paid the original deposit on less £80 for the cost of the demo. If you proceed to order a bike from us then the £80 will be discounted off the new bike that you order.
