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.

So, in August 2022 my wife and I started looking into getting a couple of eBikes, luckily Criterion Cycles aren't a million miles away from us, so we went there to have a look not really intending to buy that day. However, the staff there were great, they took us through everything that we would need to know and showed us a couple of bikes that they thought would be a great fit for our needs. There didn't seem to be any point in going to try and look elsewhere, the team at Criterion obviously know their stuff, and you'd travel far to find better or more helpful service, in fact I don't think you actually would. So, we bought the bikes and they've been brilliant, really good fun and all the back up from Criterion has been first class. My recommendation don't bother looking elsewhere, this is a one stop shop for your bike needs.

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.
