Warning for australians (bondibikes ebike scam)
Posted by generalgeorge@reddit | ebikes | View on Reddit | 4 comments
I purchased a fatboy bike today from bondibikes.com.au, thinking it was the legitimate Bondi Bikes store. It turned out to be a fake site with no connection to the official store.
They charged my card but sent no order confirmation. I called the number on their contact page and reached an unrelated store in Bondi that hadn't heard of Bondi Bikes.
Posting this for visibility so hopefully no one else gets scammed.

Hey Guys, the original Bondi Bike Shop here :)
In trying to take sales from “Bondi Bike Shop”, this “Bondi Bikes” is making people feel disappointed and misled, which is completely the opposite of what we stand for 🙂
If you’re a customer looking to get a bike, it’s simple — come to Bondi Bike Shop. We have a shark as our mascot :) ! We’ll take the time to understand your needs, look after you properly, and make sure you get a great deal.
Showroom: Shop 1 - 257 oxford st - Bondi Junction
Workshop: 206 Bondi Road - Bondi beach
Phone: 02 57002026
Cheers

It’s not a scam bro. I purchased from them recently. They have really sharp pricing. I had a chat with someone on the phone and it turns out they operated before Bondi bike shop. Picked my bike up from their store at 28 Clovelly road

Watch out bud, amazon.au and Walmart also 3rd party sellers are scammers looking for victims to prey on Best bet go to official sites with trust pilots ratings of 3.5 or better, you can filter through suggestions o n opera gx or better search engines than Google search and never use bing
