Before you book

Frequently asked questions

Book a Service
Do you service and repair E-Bikes?

Yes, I do! Most e-bike servicing is the same as regular bike servicing anyway — the gears, brakes, wheels and other parts all work in the same way as a regular bike and require the same servicing. For the most part, e-bike motors and batteries are sealed units and are best left alone, but we can diagnose and repair any issues that might pop up.

Do you supply parts and accessories?

Yes. I keep common parts such as tyres, brake pads, chains and cassettes in stock meaning that we can repair 90% of bikes on the same day. If your bike requires something I don’t have on hand I will let you know and order it in.

I am also more than happy to sell these parts separately — if you need something and want to install it yourself I can sell you what you need.

Wait times

Here at Bottle Lake Bikes I want to see you back out and riding as quickly as possible. I can nearly always make time to fit you in at short notice. If you need your bike repaired urgently, Bottle Lake Bikes is your best bet, we can probably help today.

Can I drop my bike off after hours?

Yes. As far as possible, I try to be flexible and work with customers' schedules. Feel free to get in touch to organise an after-hours drop-off time, or otherwise feel free to just drop by and try your luck.

Do you have a loan / courtesy bike?

Yes. I normally have a couple of bikes available that I am more than happy to loan you to ride back home or to work while I work on yours.

Buying & Selling

Buy a good-quality, fully serviced bike with confidence, or choose the simplest way to sell your current bike.

Buy a refurbished bike

Here at Bottle Lake Bikes we sell good-quality, fully serviced bikes. This allows our customers to have full confidence in their purchase while getting much better value for money than buying new.

Sell us your bike

Looking to get rid of your bike with the least hassle possible? Have a chat to us — we can buy it from you. This is a good option if you want a simpler process and would rather know your price upfront.

Let us sell your bike for you

Alternatively, we can sell your bike for you. To help you get the best price possible we will service, clean and polish the bike prior to sale. This option is better suited to owners who want to aim for a stronger sale result and are comfortable with the bike being sold on commission.

Commission structure

Sale up to $60035%
$600–$1,50030%
$1,500–$3,00025%
Over $3,00020%

Minimum commission $100. We will provide an estimated sale price before listing the bike. If you want to know exactly how much you are getting and want the money instantly, you can sell us your bike instead.
