Physical store reviews

The local shop experience — service quality, test-ride access, repair turnaround and staff knowledge, city by city, for buyers who want to see a bike before they buy.

In production

The first physical store reviews are being written.

We publish a review here only when it’s a real, hands-on assessment with a Shop Score attached — no placeholder ratings, no thin pages. Until then, this is what a physical store review will measure.

The Shop Score

Scored the same way, every time.

Each physical store review earns a single 0–100 Shop Score built from a fixed set of axes, so two reviews are always comparable. The rubric is being finalized now.

  1. 01 Service & staff
  2. 02 Test-ride access
  3. 03 Repair & support
  4. 04 Range stocked
  5. 05 Local reputation

A review owns the verdict; the market index owns the numbers. While the reviews roll out, the live data lives on the city guides.
