Important information about demo bikes

DEPOSITS & SECURITY
A £25 fee will be charged to use a demo bike. Upon returning the bike this fee will be returned to the rider in the form of a £25 Evans Cycles voucher that can be used as payment towards a new bike purchase within 3 months from the date of issue. Only one voucher can be redeemed per purchase. If the rider does not collect the bike no refund or voucher will be provided.

On the day a valid credit card and photo ID (passport or drivers license) in the name of the rider is required for all demo bike bookings. These items will be retained by the demo bike staff during the ride and returned to the rider at the end of the ride.

DAY LONG BOOKING
Once booked, the demo bike is yours for the day to use on the full Ride It! course (distance of your choice). This way you get a full day in the saddle – the only way to fully appreciate and sample a new bike.
