Fijne winkel met fijn personeel!
Walked in on a Saturday without appointment looking to get footrests for an e-bike brand they don’t carry. It took quite some puzzling and perseverance, but he managed to find and cut the right bolt for a solid mount. Chatted a bit meanwhile and learned a ton about the use and maintenance of my bike.
Roamed the store a bit and saw plenty of choice in bikes, steps, helmets and other gear.
Very likely we’ll visit again!
Op 1 december 2020 heb ik een Yedoo city step gekocht en met een dag gebruik was het voetenboard al gebarsten. Ik heb toen direct contact met jullie opgenomen en fotos gestuurd. We zijn nu twee maanden verder heb ik 5 keer contact met jullie opgenomen, beloven jullie dat je het gaat uitzoeken maar ik hoor maar niets van jullie terug. Service? Garantie? Dat hebben jullie niet helemaal begrepen. Je hebt mijn gegevens, los het op!
As a cherry on top, when heading abroad we were assisted to get our bikes to the airport and Vincent at Free Wheely even took part of our luggage to the airport. This made otherwise stressful travel with small children all that much better. Five out of five and then some more for this wonderful bike shop in Zuid.
Yesterday , my friend got the same problem with his bike fixed it for 23 euros. I don't understand the price. Is the tire for racing or something!!
Besides yesterday the lamp was broken from the place they fixed it.
I just don't understand this much difference in price?

DON'T go to this shop if you are an expat and / or doesn't speak Dutch. They'll try to rip you off for basic service bike repairs. Basically what's the point of having a bike repair store in the neighbourhood if they're not going to fix your problem in a timely manner before you go off to work or university???
I went there twice since I live close-by and had minor bike issues like a flat tyre on the first time, and the second time for my chain that fell off. These things don't take much time and are usually cheap. They always tried to rip me off with the prices and could never solve my problems fast. They always told me “it would take 1 or 2 days to be fixed” since they have a busy schedule. Luckily I never used their services.
If you live in this area DON'T GO THERE, try the one at the Vrije University 'Clover Two-wheelers' or 'Klaver Tweewielers' (in Dutch) or the Parnassus Cycling bike shop. They have quick service and don't try to overcharge you for simple things.
Free Wheely Amsterdam caters to Dutch people who don't care how much they're charged and to expats who have nowhere else to go to and are victims of overpriced services in the Netherlands, which happens a lot unfortunately.

The bike came quickly (3 weeks) and when i collected it they gave further advice about things such as locks and such. It felt strange that they didn't take the time to set the bike up to fit my height etc, but then I didn't ask for it either and it was easy to do when I got home.
A nice shop with lots of options and friendly staff, I'm glad to have found it.
Thank you so much for your effort!
