£1000 off the decathlon cargo bike right now!
I was in a Decathlon in Netherlands a few weeks back and a family was in there getting a new (warrantied) cargo bike. I couldn't quite understand what the problem was - they said 'gears and some other stuff' but they'd done some 1000's of km on it so a complete new bike rather than swapping out parts (some of which would surely be wear and tear anyway) seems great customer service. They loved the bike - so clearly didn't think there was anything fundamentally wrong with it.
I was at the shops this morning and there was an old dear, maybe in her 70s or older, loading her shopping into the basket on her trike outside the local shops. Knightwood, Glasgow for anyone that knows it. Ideal area. Flat, a few good bike lanes. It just struck me how unusual it was but how great. She looked to be at the age when people stop driving and the trike is ideal for local journeys and unlike mobility scooters keeps you fit.
@b33k34 it won't go to waste. Decathlon are starting to sell used ebikes now, so they've probably just said 'here, take this new one' whilst planning to give the old one a clean, fling on some new consumables from stock, and wheel it out with a '25% off pre-loved bargain' sticker on it.
Just resurrecting this thread - has anyone used the Estarli longtail cargo bike? Seem to get favourable reviews.
Am looking at getting one for nursery transport duties and we have a £3k limit on our cycle to work scheme. Prefer the longtail to the outfront box.
Are there any others that would compare favourably with this?
