Punk RideReviews of punkride.com

Recently purchased the Aovo Pro AP7 e-scooter from Punk ride for my commute to work since my car unfortunately died on me so I decided to go green for the moment. Given that the new legal rules for escooter on Irish roads is scooters at max 400watts or under I was a little hesitant at first that a scooter at 350watts would cater for my needs especially as my just job is 13km from my home. How wrong I was, yes it takes a bit longer given that scooters have to be limited to 25km/h but scooters have the extra benefit of being able to go where cars cant which means there is plenty of scope for short cuts and also my commute home is faster as I don't get caught up with the usual rush hour traffic like I did in my car which actually is saving me so much money with diesel, car tax, motor insurance etc, no longer an issue at moment. Their equipment is well made and very sturdy, reliable and really good value for money. Any teething problems I had initially were quickly put to rest as the team at Punk ride have been so quick and courteous and extremely responsive in answering every question I've had and gave me a real sense that they actually care about their customers even after you've made the purchase and will go above and beyond to make sure that their customers are not only helped but also satisfied with both their product and service as a whole. From my experience with this company I highly recommend them for whatever equipment you wish to purchase.

Good product The electric bike basket is strong and as prescribed

I purchased an elctric bicycle .The delivery was due.Also within few months according to some fault (without our fault ) I requested to sort it out.they sent the parts for it.but it's not succeed.I'm not happy about the service and I kindly requested a refund or new bicycle .but I didn't had any fair solution .

Order #PR15194 .They delivered 1 piece instead of 2. The second one wasn't even sent. Communication doesn't work.

Neutral review based on experience purchasing a Zeegr F1 [Bluvall] E-bike. The sale and pre-sale information were good, a keen price and good web site info - best price around for a generic Chinese made eBike [they're all variants on a common rail design]. Shipping and delivery were timely and the product arrived in good condition. User and assembly instructions were woeful and based on a different eBike model - YouTube is your friend. A short test ride revealed an issue with the front fork assembly, it has stopped compressing and had seized. Then the pantomime as I started pursuing a warranty claim. Punkride played post-box between the Chinese OEM and myself as customer. The OEM seemed disbelieving that the item could be faulty, and kept asking for all manner of videos and photos showing a fault with a non-user serviceable item. The forks either work or they don't. Mine didn't. The preload button on the left fork is a placebo - I knew that, but the right fork with the compression adjustment had seized. Nearly 6 weeks of procrastinating followed with anonymous unsigned AI generated or AI enhanced Emails in reply to mine. All very polite, but tedious. Finally, and somewhat out of the blue, replacement forks arrived by courier. eBike is now fixed, but I had almost given up hope of that happening. The bike itself? Common rail mass produced cheap far Eastern stuff. I'm not that naïve to think £869 is going to get me a high quality well-engineered product. But it works, and it's fun. But it's rough and ready quality, and weighs a ton! The throttle assembly was loose on the handlebar and came off, snapping the control wire with it - soldering iron out and some sleeving on the handlebar to secure the assembly. The brake pads on the 180mm hydraulic disks were useless and juddery. Replaced with £8 Shimano pads for double the braking effort than the OEM ones and judder free braking. The front light is useless - but good USB C rechargeable bike lights are cheap enough. The rear shock absorber was useless - replaced with something that works and is pre-load and rebound adjustable - £25 Ali Express special. The 7 speed Shimano derailleur gear assembly seemed counterfeit - the jockey wheel plain bearings failed after less than 300 miles - even the very cheap Shimano stuff lasts far longer. Hey, all of £13 to replace with the real deal. All screws and threads now have copperslip grease added as the rust-proofing of the bike is woeful and the ferrous materials are very low quality. They'll rust up solid after one winter without protection. The headset top bearing failed developing excessive play after 300 miles, but is easily replaced - a new one came with the replacement forks so is now fitted. The front Bafang motor has great torque for starting you off quickly on the roads, but just spins on any loose surface. There's no torque split front to rear or anything fancy, not for £869. After 8-10mph the front motor drops out anyway. The rear motor chugs along happily thereafter at higher speeds. Tyres wear very quickly on the road, but aftermarket road tyres are available if that's your thing. Range: with pedal assist around 40miles, with no assistance around 25miles. The Li-Ion battery capacity probably isn't what is stated in the literature, but it's a reasonable range for a very heavy bike with a lot of rolling resistance. If you want good range you don't by fat tyre dual motor eBikes weighing 40kg! Would I buy one again? Absolutely, it's a cheap fun bike for mucking around on and great for trails and offroad. Be prepared to get your hands dirty and to fix small stuff as and when. At the price it is, consider buying a spare bike for parts if you want to get several years use out of it, as no reputable cycle shop will touch it or be able to source parts, and after a year or two it will be obsolete technology.

It was our first time at Punk Padel and we LOVED it. Played our own music and had a fun packed padel session. Loved it that much booked up again ❤️ Easy to find and a brilliant set up Farleigh wallop location

To be honest I was apprehensive at first with all the negative reviews but I took a chance and I'm glad I did. My ebike arrived within 3 days of ordering no issues whatsoever I'd 100% deal with punk ride again in the future

5/5 Stars. I can really recommend buying a e scooter from this website and the costumer support are fantastic and quick responsive. I do not regret buying the ix7 pro scooter.
