Brilliant shop. Super helpful, easy to contact, processing orders quicker than I would ever expect - From pre reserved bikes to accessories. Wouldn’t hesitate to order again! Thanks a lot.

Great deal with the current “trade in”offer. This resulted in a really good discount on a review winning, in demand bike. I’d also like to say that I’ve never seen a bike so carefully packaged... See more
Great Bikes, great prices. Communication was really good, I felt well informed and knew what was going on. The bike arrived sooner than expected, but again I was informed what day it could be delivere... See more

Thanks

Cracking bike shop - great staff.
Wheelbase is our local shop, but it's more than just a bike shop (they've got showers!?!) The staff love cycling and cyclists, they are incredibly helpful - and very patient.
We bought our gravel bikes from there and later our road bikes. Everyone was helpful, double-checked everything and made sure we were happy and understood the particulars of each bike.
The team own the shop and it shows.

Took my bike to Wheelbase Darlington
Took my bike to Wheelbase Darlington, which I purchased it from originally. It had an error 504 on the display. Waited for 2 weeks to get it booked in, they phoned me to say they can't possibly find a fault with it without racking a massive bill up so it's in my interest that they just leave it. The replacement motor was just a year old with a receipt to prove it. I phoned back to make sure they understood it was covered by warranty but was assured it's in by interest because it could cost a fortune to work out what's wrong. Fast forward to today and I took it to a bike shop in Bishop Auckland and they have called to say it's fixed with a £20 charge, it just needed a fault code cleared. I don't think Wheelbase had even plugged it in.
My plan was to get it fixed and to sell it for a new Am.Flow, I won't be giving my local Wheelbase the business and that's for sure.

Order went smoothly with Wheelbase but let down on the delivery date which I waited in two days after tracking my bike purchase. It eventually arrived three days late.

Enormous thanks to Tom in the workshop…
Enormous thanks to Tom in the workshop at Darlington. Super helpful with sourcing me a set of replacement bolts for my son’s ebike in time for Ard Rock this weekend. Extremely helpful. Got the job done. I’ve little relationship with the store as we live in Sheffield but he went above and beyond to help get me out of a fix. Proper customer service. I wouldn’t hesitate using the shop or workshop again in the future. Highly recommend and thanks again.
