    Why ebikeist

    Why I started this and what makes us different.

    Buying a premium e-bike isn't just about the bike. It's about who helps you choose it, set it up, and live with it afterwards.

    Most people don't need more choice. They need clear guidance, honest answers, and support that doesn't disappear once the bike is delivered.

    ebikeist exists to do that properly. We focus on getting the decision right, not pushing a quick sale.

    If you want the cheapest option, we're probably not the right fit.

    If you want the right bike, configured properly, with support you can rely on, you're in the right place.

    What to Expect If You Choose Us

    1. 1

      A proper conversation first

      We'll talk about how you ride, what matters to you, and what you're trying to achieve. No pressure, no rush.

    2. 2

      Clear, honest recommendations

      If something isn't right for you, we'll say so. We'd rather lose a sale than leave you with the wrong bike.

    3. 3

      A bike configured for you

      Factory orders mean the right size, gearing, battery, and setup from the start.

    4. 4

      Delivery that feels personal

      We'll walk you through everything, answer questions, and make sure you feel confident.

    5. 5

      Ongoing support

      Questions, servicing, adjustments, and advice are part of the relationship, not extras.

    We don't try to sell every brand or every type of e-bike.

    Dan at a Riese & Müller event. Specialist knowledge, not a catalogue

    We focus on premium, well-engineered bikes that we understand deeply, primarily Riese & Müller, with Moustache and Amflow as carefully selected alternatives where they fit the same principles. The most recent example is the Moustache Clutch 150.7 EQ, a Pinion-driven trail bike with a proper commuter kit on top.

    That focus means better advice, better setup, and fewer compromises. You're not navigating a catalogue. You're benefiting from experience.

    Common Questions

    Can I test ride before buying?

    Yes. Test rides are at our showroom at Little Dartmouth, just outside Dartmouth in Devon, by appointment. The route leaves our yard straight onto the coastal lanes and a bridleway, so you try the bike on real hills, not a car park. Book a test ride online or call us on 03330 151 979.

    Where do you deliver?

    Delivery is free to any address in England and Wales. Across the South West (Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Bristol, Gloucestershire, South Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Hampshire, Herefordshire and South Wales) we deliver the bike ourselves and give you a full handover. Everywhere else in England and Wales, a specialist bike courier delivers it free. Either way it arrives fully built and ready to ride, with no packaging to deal with. Delivery to Edinburgh and Glasgow is £249. For the rest of Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands, contact us for a quote. You can also collect your bike free from Little Dartmouth by appointment.

    Who will maintain my bike?

    We service bikes at our workshop in Little Dartmouth. A standard service is £180, or £120 if you bought your bike from us. We can collect your bike for £2 a mile from Little Dartmouth. Mobile servicing is temporarily on hold; call us to ask.

    You can also use brand-specific service networks (Riese & Müller, Moustache, Bosch, Pinion all have dealer locators), or professional mobile mechanics like Cycle Tech UK.

    To arrange a service, please call us on 03330 151 979.
