Elops 520 Low Frame City Bike, Navy Blue

The green is really such a beautiful colour, the handles and bike seat are good quality but the brakes just seem off making it very hard to ride easily. Frustrating as my nearest store is very far meaning I'll have to pay another company to take a look and see if fixable. Bike also arrived without handle bar and basket and customer service were incredibly slow, had to chase loads and eventually got them delivered separately 2+ weeks later

Easy to ride and manoeuvre

This is my daily rider: cycling to work, round my family's, picking up groceries etc. It's quite a heavy bike, so my journeys rarely exceed 8 miles, but it's strong enough to carry my weekly shopping a mile home. It's a very comfortable bike and the gearing is just right for building up speed. The chain is partially covered which makes it slightly more weather resistant. The width of the handlebars can make parking the bicycle a little difficult as it tends to overhang and so it can be hard to park on a packed set of bars, but the same issue is found on drop handlebars. I very rarely use the dynamo, though it's a handy back up when my lights are are running low of the conditions call for a little more lighting. The seat is comfortable and allows me to ride significantly higher than traffic that makes me feel more visible, though this causes a lot of wind resistance when picking up speed, but speed isn't a top priority on a 4kg bike. I recently got it serviced (after 2 years of riding) where they replaced the gear hub chain etc. Otherwise the bike is very durable and doesn't show the signs of aging.

Just been on the school run with this bike, child seat attached. The bike is very unbalanced with weight of child in the seat and she�s only 10kg. It seems to be a flimsy bike. I saw reviews about the brakes being loud however didn�t realise how loud. The front brake is so loud, it�s embarrassing. I only rode the bike for 20 minutes and the seat is so uncomfortable, I would recommend buying a different seat, maybe with more padding or wear padding. With the stand up the bike is meant to stay where it is however when I tried to put my daughter into the child seat with the Stand on it nearly toppled over if I didn�t catch it. I would recommend a better, more effective bike if riding with a child in tow.

The guys in bike department, specially Mark were amazing. Very helpful informative and 100% accurate. To be honest it�s been the best experience I have had shopping at least in the last 7 years. Thank you
