Paul and the team provided super clear and accurate advice that made the massively complicated task of purchasing a new e-bike very simple, for a complete novice.
From the start, Paul and the team helped me with my selection and guided me through the myriad of options. It was very clear, from the start, that Criterium is not in business to sell anything to anyone, they care and help you buy the best bike that works for you, not simply to boost profits.
I would recommend Criterium to everyone, of any ability. They are helpful and care about the quality of their service.

I bought my second and third electric bikes last week from Criterion for a holiday cottage. Paul was really helpful, cheerful and delivered my bikes a couple of days after I bought them. He remembered the exact model I had bought a couple of years ago, so I was confident buying the updated versions. Great team in the shop and 10/10 for all round service.

why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
