I purchased a DYU D3F electric bike…
UPDATE: 29 September 2026 I have updated this review following DYU resolving the matter and processing my refund in full. I have kept the original details below because they accurately reflect my experience during the return process at the time. I purchased a DYU D3F electric bike directly from DYU’s website. Unfortunately, after receiving and trying the bike, I found it unsuitable for me. The steering was difficult and uncomfortable to control, the seat could not be raised sufficiently for my leg length and caused my legs to cramp while pedalling, and the riding position caused back discomfort. I also found the single-speed gearing unsuitable when pedalling without electric assistance. The bike was delivered on 27 August 2026, and I contacted DYU on 30 August 2026, only three days later, to request a return and refund. Initially, I was told that because my reasons were considered “personal reasons” rather than a quality issue, £200 would be deducted from my refund as a handling fee. I disputed this and asked DYU to provide the return instructions and explain the legal and contractual basis for the proposed deduction. The return process was initially frustrating and caused unnecessary stress, particularly because of the proposed £200 deduction and the uncertainty around the return arrangements. However, I can now confirm that DYU has processed my refund in full, with no £200 deduction. DYU also followed up with me regarding the matter and acknowledged the frustration caused by the initial return process. I appreciate that the matter has now been resolved and that I have received the full refund. I have therefore updated this review to reflect the final outcome. My original concerns about the return process were genuine at the time, but I think it is important to acknowledge that DYU ultimately resolved the matter and provided a full refund. Previous review : 31/08/26 I purchased a DYU D3F electric bike directly from DYU’s website. Unfortunately, after receiving and trying the bike, I found it unsuitable for me.

I was expecting a straightforward return, but DYU told me that because they considered my reasons to be “personal reasons” rather than a quality issue, they would deduct £200 from my refund as a handling fee. I have disputed this charge and explained that I am exercising my statutory cancellation rights for an online purchase. I have asked DYU to provide the return instructions and to explain the legal and contractual basis for the £200 deduction. At the time of writing, the matter remains unresolved. I am disappointed that a customer who contacted the company just three days after receiving the bike is being told that £200 will be deducted simply for returning it, rather than being offered a straightforward return process. I would urge anyone considering purchasing from DYU to read the company’s return policy carefully and be aware of the potential £200 charge they may seek to apply to an e-bike return.
