"A visit to Jorvik"

We visited Jorvik for my wife to try out a trike. She previously rode bicycles but now can't because of balance problems.
We were warmly welcomed by Rosie and we're introduced to Elton who helped my wife try out several trikes.
She was very nervous but Elton was very supportive, patient and encouraging. He made the whole experience fun for us both. We had a thorough discussion about the characteristics of front hub or mid drive before my wife settled on the one she liked best.
Elton made us tea while Rosie took us through the sales process. As we were going away on holiday Rosie suggested delaying despatch until our home arrival date.
We chose Jorvik after research online. There aren't many alternatives but we thought the Jorvik bikes looked better so we decided to visit by appointment.
All in all, this was an excellent experience. We haven't yet received the trike so I will submit another review at a later date.

"Excellent demonstration and advice from…"

Excellent demonstration and advice from James. Appointment system ensured ‘one to one’ experience and plenty of time to try the trikes. Would recommend.

"INDEPENDENCE RESTORED"

Having to give up my driving license, due to the progressive nature of Parkinson’s Disease, seemed to be the loss of my independence. My purchase of a Jorvik Elite Mid-Drive Dual Battery Electric Folding Tricycle JET-E2 restored it. My daily commute of 11 miles with a climb of 870 feet is not easy but I’m fitter for it. A 6 mile round trip to the local shops is now a doddle.

"Perfect product for our needs"

Perfect product for our needs. Easy to navigate website. Delivered at the expected time by a very pleasant young man. Used the manual and video to set up which we managed despite our ages! Now enjoying the freedom it gives as my husband can now join me on our cycle rides, although he is now faster than me.
Great product and excellent customer service.

"JMT 7"

its not often you find people willing to go the extra mile to help you (with distance selling on internet) But the folks a Jorvik deserve a pat on the back! Tricycle in stock and order placed without popping up to York to try first. Tricycle arrived when stated and in 100% good condition. Watched the video at same time as putting it together - hassle free :)

"I recently purchased a JMT9"

I recently purchased a JMT9. I was a bit wobbly on it at first as I am an experienced cyclist. I went for a visit to a caravan site recently and wnted to transpot my trike there.
I have a Zafira in which i had to fit the trike. to that end I bought a pair of ramps; I advise the longer the better. I removed the saddle and folded the handle bars. I also needed to remove the front wheel (only possible on the mid drive models). I found that to do this, and to refit it, it is best to tilt the bike so that it is resting on the carrier at the back. This unfortunately abrades the paint from the carrier. My suggestion to avoid this is to fit bumpers on the carrier.
This is my only complaint and I think the JMT9 is a great trike. I enjoy riding it.

"Had a run over to jorvik tricycles …"

Had a run over to jorvik tricycles this week following ringing to book an appointment.
Really impressed.
A nice family business feel to it.
Staff knowledgeable,friendly and approachable.
Got to look at all the different tricycles which is always good.
All models explained with the background to the firm start tp present.
The tricycles seem to a high standard,be made for comfort and the electric side will a plus for my worn knees.
From what I experienced one to look at if you are in the market for going electric.
10/10

"Great service"

We had been considering an e-trike for a while but hadn't had the chance to try one. During our visit the use and benefits were clearly explained and all our questions answered. We had the opportunity to ride the trike we were interested in. All in all we couldn't have asked for more from our visit.

"Overweight with dodgy knees …"

Overweight and with a couple of dodgy knees, I found that I was unable to ride the lovely e-bike which my husband bought me and was absolutely gutted. I chanced across Jorvik Tricycles, bit the bullet and made an appointment (without telling husband). I cannot thank James enough for giving me back the confidence to get in the saddle again. He had me riding round the car park in minutes, quickly realised that I needed a ROM pedal (who knew such things existed?), fitted it and WOW what a game changer. I cannot wait for my Trike (bright red, and to be named Pat as it makes me think of the Post Office) to arrive and to be able to get out on the road. Thank you Thank you Thank you

"Moving on from a bicycle"

Both of us are in our later eighties and found that bicycles no longer felt safe so rang and ordered two ex display tricycles and they arrived a day ahead of expectations which was nice. It took sometime to put the first trike together but much less for the second, the use of Allen keys to tighten all the bolts was great. we are still getting used to the different ride and the power of the `power assist'.
We had a couple of minor problems (a missing widget on the saddle fixture and a cracked plastic clamp) but these were quickly sorted, without demur, by Rosie
