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.

I have black popal transporter men…

I have black popal transporter men bike. my rear tire broke air. i had to disaseble almost entire bike to change rear tire. popal bikes are marvel of bad enginering. avoid at all cost as changing tire can be more costly than buying another bike. they are really bad enginered and after asemplying its impossible to assemble it back to milimeter similar.

The sensor is broken

The sensor is broken. My bike bears the Popal brand. All the stores refuse to repair it because it carries this brand. I called customer service and explained to them well about the fault, but they refuse to cooperate.

AWFUL SERVICE AND QUALITY

AWFUL SERVICE AND QUALITY. My electric bike broke down in 3 months, till to point that today the battery stopped working on the way. Break, light and gear also stopped working in the 1st month and even though I wanted to return it, it took soo long to get any reply that actually they didn't do anything. It has been 2 months I try to even get a simple service, and also to get the bike fixed and no answer at all. I am devastated to spend any cent on this bike, I want my money back, because I have zero trust in this company. My bike wont be ever fixed and if so who know for how long will it take to do it. Who will compensate my travel cost?
This is just a joke and can't believe how unprofessional the company is.

Very friendly and professional

I was looking for a missing screw on my Cangoo buckle bike. I sent them an email and they respond very quickly and provided the part very quickly.

Great!

Bought a lovely bike some years ago- works great and looks great!
As there is one small part of the bike that got damaged, I found out- service is great, too. Thank you so much!
