I always follow good deals in this service and. Finally, I got two helmets for a good price. Nitro helmets are worth paid money. I suggest everyone to try in stock before purchase because dealing with helmets is taught job. Anyway, the service offers good prices

Bought a 400 quid scooter which broke after a week. Had trouble getting any response from them. Eventually got a repair only to have a serious mechanical failure resulting in an accident. Not impressed with lack of customer care

Had purchased several quads over last few years, you definitely need to be hands on with tools, most recent quad built for this xmas would not start, and managed to break the start pull spring, on checking, the fuel line just at carb end had a 90 degree kink this was enough to cut fuel completely, once rectified starts and runs easily, if you have a none runner, worth a wee look before making a complaint.

Steer well clear of this company. Can't do enough for you when you are buying from them but you will be left high and dry when things start to go wrong. Poor cheap quality goods, we purchased two bikes and both incurred identical problems within a matter of weeks. We are now in the proccess of legal proceedings. Appalling that companies like this can actually get away with treating customers like this. Poor show funbikes!

Absolute joke! Paid for 2 electric scooters totalling over £300 and only received one! I have been chasing for over a week to find out where the missing scooter is to be told that they are still chasing the courier for proof of delivery. The item has clearly gone missing or unattended and I am left to chase daily with absolutely no update! My son is now left with 8 days until his birthday and I've no money to buy anything else before! Ruined a kids birthday! Cheers Funbikes. NOT RECCOMENDED

I called them up to check stock, was told they were expecting new stock in early December but they had a kids yellow quad if I wanted it delivered the following week. Call to order was placed Friday and the quad arrived the following Wednesday:-) Couldn't be happier, son loving his quad. Service was honest, polite and efficient - couldn't have asked for more, thank you.

Wouldn't bother with this company
I got my son a bike christmas paid £400 for this bike to have a faulty battery from day 1, they expected me to do test on the bike and battery and still nothing been resolved even tho ive been on the phone to them since January and now we are in september, the battery has been sent back twice now and they want me to pay for a new battery i don't think so I could understand if this happened after the warranty run out but no it was from day 1. I have seen a lot of people now having this same issue do dont buy a bike or anything g from this company they are a joke and waste of time. Customer services are a joke and andrew the manager says he wants to get the problem solved as its been going on long enough but then tells me today I can buy a battery off them for £100 I don't think so. You have all been warned

Shocking service! Starts off fine when there selling couldn't do more for, but once sold expect the worst customer service ever and the rudest manger I've ever met... felt like we had been ripped off by a dodgy car dealer.
Nearly ruined my sons birthday with the cheap quads they sell! AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Appalling company. I bought an electric bike, it was faulty and - finally - it was replaced. The replacement had faulty brakes - incredibly dangerous given it is designed and marketed to children - finally the brakes were replaced. I say finally in that it took dozens of emails in which Funbikes seems to attempt to avoid their legal duties under the warranty. The battery now does not, after less than 3 months, and the same situation again - interminable emails, repetition and obfuscation. Deeply deeply appalling customer service and poorly made products. Avoid avoid avoid.

Tip for consumers:
Don't

We find this company a disgrace
We find this company a disgrace, we bought a non starter bike almost one month ago but still doesn't work. Their customer service team will tell you we are very sorry but you are on you own. They haven't offered exchange, return, refund on anything all they say is open this part or that part and fix it yourslef.

I won't recommend this to anyone, they are fraud, selling unchecked Chinese products!
AVOID AT ALL COST!

Tried to order on their Internet page - NOT POSSIBLE.
Thought I telephone their Derby office - got through to P****s*** - pay my money which they took TWICE - telephoned my bank and stopped one but the other is PENDING.
Fun bikes asked to pay direct into their bank? BUT MY BANK SAID NO - DO NOT DO THAT.
Their showroom is Closed and will not be re-opening IS THIS COMPANY GOING OUT OF BUSINESS?

This company and more importantly, its products are atrocious.
There is an age old saying "you get what you pay for" and that is correct, but products should still be fit for purpose.
I won't go into all the details, but the main problems I had with the MXR mini-dirt bike, were engine cut-out and accelerating of the bike with a closed throttle! It's a potential death trap and at one practice track we went to, my son was holding the bike while it was running, when it decided to accelerate of its own accord and carried on running up the track, veered off and was luckily caught by a spectator before it hit someone.

The company did not care about this at all, even when I asked them if they did! They also said that they can't see any problem with the bike, so there's nothing they can do.
The quality of it is beyond cheap. The fixings, the build, everything and if anyone reads this and is still wondering about buying from this company, please, please do not.

There is lots more to say about them and their handling of the situation, but all I can say is just don't ever buy from them. You will never benefit in anyway, shape or form. You've all been warned and if you still need further guidance, just focus on the negative reviews and their poor rating on TrustPilot, Google and SiteJabber

Went to the shop on 4hr round trip to get a bike for my grandson for Christmas
The bike I bought had no stickers with it but I was told no problem we will forward them to you when they arrive, but after leaving shop having paid the amount asked for and also questioned if the amount was correct and then getting receipt and leaving shop, the or person who sold me the bike then rang me up and said he made a mistake and would like me to pay the extra to cover his mistake. When I refused because it wasn't my mistake and was already back on motorway by then anyway. But the assistant said well if you don't pay the £30 we won't send stickers for the bike.
I then looked into wether I was right or wrong the just I'm getting is if you've paid for something in a store and left the shop don't then go back and pay anymore.the assistant was also very uniformed on clothing sizes by say the clothes only go in Xs s m l xl so on, but on the packaging clearly states ages ment for.
Absolutely one of worst experiences ever had spending a fair amount. Never again

Purchased a battery quad for sons 4th Birthday arrived fine and on time and well packed. Followed assembly instructions. For the record comes with battery pack installed. Charged as per instructions for when my son got up. The quad crawled basically. So we thought we must of not connected it to the charger properly so charged it again as per instructions again. Still no joy! Phoned funbikes we got told to check every battery individually with a battery tester. Are you serous I said we don't have one and are you serious it's brand new. Also we informed them the motor was noisy but on lifting the back end of the bike and twisting the throttle the back axle was buckled which maybe causing the fault. Phoned customer services back for more ignorance theres nothing we can do you have to bring back! How we are miles away from you and it was sent mail order. I tried leaving a comment on there Facebook page not an offensive one they have now deleted and blocked me. We now have been told we have to send it back for them to look at. We were told in an ignorant manner there nothing we can do. Well there is stop selling machines when you don't have procedures in place to rectify problems and talk to customers in helpful and civil manner. I could take the bike being faulty if you had handled the problem with empathy and politeness! So we are quadless with a devastated birthday presentless little boy. We now have to spend our evening trying to pack up a defective brand new quad bike. Stay well clear if I was thinking of purchasing a quad buy local!

I have to speak as i find and after purchasing a quad for my grandson it was used for a very short period of time and then it stopped.
I went on and read some of the reviews and thought i was going to have dramas to the enth degree.
I spoke to their tech department and contrary to what some of the reviews stated the guy i spoke to was very helpful.
Now i have a bit of an advantage in as much as i have an auto electrician to hand and after following the advice from their tech guy we set about in an attempt to isolate the issue.
We found that it was the main electronic control box and i relayed that information to their guy and they immediately agreed to send the new part out.
Okay not everyone has an electrician to hand but i must say i really can't complain about how they dealt with this and to put the icing on the cake i received the new part the very next day, it's now on and the quad is running as it should so all in all i have had a very positive experience with Funbikes and based on that i wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
