On this page you can read some of the comments made by Top Gear Electric Bikes customers. 
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our customers for their business and continued support. 
We rented a couple of e-bikes from Top Gear a few weekends ago & thoroughly enjoyed the experience, so much so that we decided to purchase a couple of bikes the following week. 
The friendly, knowledgeable, professional service received from Chip, and James was exceptional. 
Along with all the required accessories, we had our e-bikes delivered the following day. 
What an outstanding service I would highly recommend Top Gear in Penryn for anyone looking to rent or buy an e-bike.

Great bike shop specialising in electric bikes. Good selection of makes and models at a range of prices and a wide range of accessories. Repairs and servicing are also carried out. Very helpful, efficient and friendly staff.

Absolutely wonderful customer care and support! The two gentlemen who are running the business couldn’t have been more helpful. I would highly recommend them! 
Thank you so much guys for all your help today.

We just bought our bikes from these guys. We took our time on 3 visits because it's a fair outlay on 2 bikes. All I can say is the service was excellent, no pressure at any point and that's why we bought from Top Gear. 
Both James and Daniel were so helpful, and time spent with us didn't seem to be an issue despite how busy they were. Top owners should think themselves very lucky that they have these guys onboard. 
I have no hesitation in recommending Top Gear to anyone! Top Service!

Hi, just wanted to personally thank James, for his very professional help and advice on Monday. I came to the store to ask advice and find out more about the bikes and James was most helpful and answered every question or query I had, with great knowledge. 
I guess the proof of his attitude and knowledge is that I left with a new bike! 
He also went out of his way and delivered my bike after the store had closed. 
Your store came recommended by a friend who had already bought a bike from you and after the service I received from James, I also wouldn't hesitate to recommend you and have in fact done so already. 
Am sure James is a valued member of your staff as he is a great credit to you.

If you're looking for an e-bike or two :), don't look any further, give Top Gear a call, these guys do such a good job that they will have you on the road in a flash! We bought two cracking bikes (Gepida Ruga & Haibike Hardseven 4.0), and have loved every minute, they make cycling fun! Cheers guys, see at the next service!

My husband recently bought a bike so I needed one to enjoy cycling with him. Peter, All the staff at Top Gear were so helpful spending time to find me the right bike. If you are thinking of a new bike, Top gear electric bikes is the best place to go.

Excellent service from Top Gear Ltd in Penryn when we were looking to purchase an electric bike for myself. Having taken up a good amount of their time one Saturday morning nothing was too much trouble and we were able to try the bikes in the rear car park with no hard sales talk. All the staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable and we wouldn't hesitate in recommending them should you be wanting to purchase an electric bike.

Fantastic service from all at Top Gear. I bought two Haibike Mountain Bikes from them this week. I tried out a bike in the car park on Saturday, brought my wife in on Tuesday to try hers, ordered on Wednesday and we had shiny new ebikes the following Monday! Very friendly and helpful service. Thank you

A big thank you to all at Top Gear Ebikes who patiently and sympathetically managed to get a 67 year old, one leg powered man back on the “horse”. 
It’s absolutely brilliant and a first class service. 
Peter and the team couldn’t be more helpful and I thoroughly recommend them to anybody physically challenged who is unsure about riding these quality bikes. Give them a try, you won’t regret it. 
Cheers 
John, Helston  
"Excellent, knowledgeable, friendly service provided by Top Gear Electric Bikes. Nothing was too much trouble. 
As for the bike, it is great but looking forward to better weather!" 
Stuart, Feock  
"I recently purchased my Electric Bike from Top Gear Ltd. I am retired and a keen cyclist. I thought that this would widen the scope of my local journeys and utilising the portability, allow me to enjoy cycling in other areas of the country. I am very impressed with this bike, it was keenly priced, is well made and looks smart. The bike has surpassed my expectations in use for both local and wider ranging journeys and I am tending to use it for errands where I would have previously used my car." 
Eric, Rothley  
I never wanted an electric bike, but having moved to Falmouth recently I realised that if I wanted to continuing cycling then an electric bike was a must. And it is absolutely fantastic!!!  
The staff at Top Gear are so knowledgeable and helpful, nothing is ever too much trouble. 5/5 
David, Falmouth (Google review) 
I have recently upgraded my electric bike and would like to sincerely thank the team at Top Gear, namely James, Chris and Daniel for once again an excellent and friendly service. I would recommend this Company to anyone who is looking to purchase an Electric bike, you will not be disappointed. I even forgot my charger for the bike and when I phoned them to say I would pick it up the next day, Chris's reply was no problem I will drop it in to you on my way home. Excellent service. Well done to you all!! 
Chris, Redruth  
After visiting several bike shops around West Cornwall called at Top Gear and found everyone very helpful.  
They have a great selection of bikes from various manufacturers and after testing several different bikes have now purchased a Kalkhoff. 
Cyclescheme vouchers accepted if your employer does this scheme. 
Great service and will be returning to buy one for my wife shortly. 
Premises small at moment but will be moving to larger premises opposite existing shop soon. 
Cheers

Friendly and helpful staff. Bike is great to ride, proper job, 
I can now tackle the steepest hills no probs. 
Keith, Falmouth  
Having had a Gepida ebike for 30 months, which I bought from Top Gear, and clocked up nearly 5000 miles I have now changed to a Kalkhoff Endeavour. Peter was really helpful and as always very attentive to my needs. Thank you for such great service, I would not hesitate to recommend your business to anyone.

Hazel, Helston  
Wouldn't go anywhere else, they have a wealth of knowledge and are very helpful. I depend on my electric bike for work and and would not want to be without it. Top Gear have an excellent selection of bikes to choose from. 
Sharon, Penryn  
"My wife & I purchased 2 electric bikes from Top Gear earlier in the year. We are over the moon with them and use them a lot. We have covered well in excess of 800 miles each and regularly do 40 mile trips on them. Our fitness levels have improved since we bought them, we are now managing to get over 100 miles between charges! 
They are great fun to ride and hills are no trouble at all.  
We would recommend these bikes and Top Gear to anyone thinking about buying an ebike" 
Jon and Fiona, Truro  
"The electric bike experience is fantastic. I am now able to go much further afield, see more views and experience more places. 
Today it was also great riding on very muddy bridleways, footpaths and the lanes of Burnham Beeches covered in wet slippery leaves! Fantastic, great fun." 
Mike, Stoke Poges  
My wife and I have just been out on our Gepida Asgards for the first time, and they were brilliant, even better than we imagined, and delighted that after 22 miles we had only used 20% of our batteries. Off to Dartmoor tomorrow to go off roading! 
Very pleased with the guidance from Peter in helping us choose exactly the right models and customising them to suit our individual needs. Well worth the 2 hour drive! 
David, Totnes  
"I bought two folding electric bikes from Top Gear to replace a motor scooter that we carry on a rack at the back our motorhome. They are so easy to ride that we will now be selling the scooter. Top Gear were so helpful in helping us. I am 68 years old and find it no problem to ride 20 or so miles even up hills. Thank You Peter!" 
John, Croft  
"I purchased my fold up electric bike from Top Gear Ltd and have been delighted with my purchase. I use it on a regular basis and have had loads of fun on it. I have also used it for commuting to work, so not only aim I getting regular exercise but saving money as well!!" 
Ian, Quorn  
Great service from all the staff at Top Gear for my recent purchase of an ebike. They had the right spec bike at a great price and even delivered it for me, can’t fault their professionalism and would thoroughly recommend this shop if you’re thinking of purchasing a new bike. 
Dan, Par (Google review) 
We bought two fabulous bikes from Peter and his team recently and they have transformed our lives. 
After a serious foot op in January, my husband is still struggling to walk, so the Covid lockdown would have been disastrous for us as active people. We have though been saved by our wonderful bikes and enjoyed cycling for miles, coast to coast and beyond almost every day. 
The great thing is also knowing that there is such great backup and support whenever we need it too. Couldn't recommend Top Gear more highly. 
Gilly, Feock  
Fantastic ! Very friendly and professional service. One of the best purchases I've ever made and I have now also bought a dog trailer to attach to my beautiful Kalkhoff electric bike. The staff were extremely knowledgeable, helping me to choose the right bike for me. The after care and service is second to none and I highly recommend a visit to Top Gear. 
Nicky, Mylor  
Very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly people, they made it very easy to make a decision. Now we are looking forward to putting our new folding bikes to good use. 
Angela, Camborne (Google review) 
Very knowledgable team with years of experience, great range of bikes to suit all tastes and requirements. Thank you for your patience and very competitive pricing.

"This is my second electric bike from Top Gear and I am using it daily for my comute to work. I am a keen cyclist and have several bikes, but this is my work horse. I have already clocked up 2600 miles in 6 months, so it is really earning its keep. Great fun, good exercise and fast on the hills. I would recommend one to anyone who is looking to make cycling easier. Very pleased with the helpful friendly service from Top Gear." 
Mark, Penryn  
Fantastic customer service from all at Top Gear, and wow what an awesome bike ... I'm looking forward to many miles on my electric bike, I would recommend it to anyone . Peter and Mandy are so helpful, they made the buying experience very easy and enjoyable. I am absolutely in love with my bike , it makes getting to work an absolute pleasure. Would definitely recommend Top Gear for all your electric bike needs. 
Lorna, falmouth  
"Just a note to say how pleased we are with our new electric bikes. We are enjoying getting used to them and think they are the best thing since sliced bread. We are the envy (literally) of the village and the bikes have already got fans including one of our daughters who is relocating to Bournemouth in August and is talking about selling her car and buying an ebike. If she does, you will be hearing from us again. Thanks for all your help with our purchase." 
Peter and Jane, Beaworthy, Devon  
"A great deal of thought went into this purchase including the following ‘must haves’: 1. Quality well made bikes that look good (I can’t bare cheap and tacky) 2. Fun and easy to ride with good battery life. 3. Value for money but at the expense of number 1. 4. Ability to encourage me to actually use it as an alternative to the car...... I have achieved all of the above and then some., bit of life changer this, the old bikes sat at the back of the garage for years (fear of riding uphill), this little gem has taken me miles for next to nothing. It provides gentle exercise but is never hard work and I can’t think of a good reason not to do local journeys on it, as a bonus I can fold it up and put in the back of the car...... Overall the best money I have spent in a long time..... Only one problem..... Now my wife wants one!!" 
Mark, Quorn  
"Bought a fold up bike in the autumn of 2008 from Top Gear, the best thing I have bought for a long time... Use it mostly for errands to the village - quicker than the car and much more convenient and fun. 
Should be very useful for taking on our boating holidays in the summer. A well built machine." 
Alex, Sileby  
"I have had my new Batribike Granite Pro for just over a month now and wanted to thank you for the great service and advice during my purchase. As someone with a hip replacement and other joint problems I did not think I would be able to ride a bike, but have been proved wrong. The motor assist makes riding around hilly Falmouth so easy. 
I have had many impressed admirers. 
Thanks again from a very satisfied customer." 
Simon, Falmouth
