Demo Bikes for Two Day Test Rides

Written by Edinburgh Bicycle Cooperative

Posted in: Cargo Bikes, Demo Bikes, Electric Bikes, Road Cycling

DUE TO THE CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK, WE HAVE SUSPENDED OUR DEMO SCHEME UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. WE DON’T FEEL WE CAN OPERATE IT SAFELY IN THE CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES. DON’T WORRY, IT’LL BE BACK AS SOON AS IT’S SAFE TO DO SO. MANY THANKS.

We know buying a bike is a big decision. And ‘trying before buying’ makes deciding on the right bike easier. That’s why we invest in the largest demo fleet of bikes in the north of the UK!

Below you’ll find a list of our demo bikes which you can book to take out for a day or two. Remember, the display bikes in all our shops can be taken for a quick test ride (weather permitting of course!) so please come and see us or drop us a line if you want to check if we have a bike for you to try.

I REALLY REALLY WANT TO DEMO A SPECIFIC BIKE

Our biggest suppliers – Specialized, Whyte, Giant and Liv – carry extensive demo bike fleets. If you’re seriously interested in trying out one of their bicycles in a specific size, we will do all we can to source the bike so you can enjoy a 2-day test ride.

Arranging a Test Ride

HOW TO ARRANGE A SHORT TEST RIDE

If you only have the time or inclination for a short ride of say, 15 minutes, just pop in to any of our shops. No booking required.
All we ask is that you bring along photo id (passport or driving licence) and leave your bank card in our safekeeping while you go out for the ride

HOW TO ARRANGE A TWO-DAY TEST RIDE

Advance booking is required
Pop into your local Bike Co-op branch, phone us on 0131 331 5010 or fill out our demo request form
We’ll then arrange to have the demo bike of your choice checked over and ready to go from your local Bike Co-op shop on a mutually convenient date.

WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING FOR A TWO-DAY TEST RIDE

Photo id (driving licence or passport) and your bank details.
We will take a security deposit of £1,000, which will be refunded in full when the bike is returned to us in the same condition you received it.
We charge £50 for a 1-day hire (from 9am – 6pm) or £100 for a 2-day hire (9am through to 6pm on day two).
Special Offer: When you return the bike in good condition, we will reward you with a £50 gift voucher (if you booked for one day) or £100 gift voucher (if you booked for two days.) This makes our two-day e-bike hire effectively free – not to be used in conjunction with other special offers.
