Solano Cycle of Gainesville

"Daniel was very knowledgeable and professional about electric bikes we bought two of them he also ordered us bike rack for the back of RV"

"We had been looking for a specific e-bike and all the bike shops in Gainesville were closed this week. We were about to order online when we decided to give Solano Cycle a call. Glad we did! They had the exact model we wanted and Daniel was really helpful. We had it loaded up and home in no time. What's even better is having a local shop who can service the bike. The showroom is clean and well organized. Lots of fun stuff to look at. Really happy with how we were treated."

"my belt broke on my genuine roughhouse 50cc scooter. My car is actually down right now, so I needed something to get me around this week. I was stressing because it was Saturday and nobody was open. Luckily Solano cycle was open and I had the part I needed in stock. I’m now up and running, and the scooter is running better than ever. Thank you guys so much for the help and for being there on a Saturday when no one else was open! ❤️"

"We have spent the last month going from shop to shop and back again looking at Scooters for my daughter. Both NS4L and Solano had a good selection and both sales people were knowledgeable and helpful. But that is where the similarities end. NS4L out the door price was over $2600 once they added all the posted fees. Basically dealer fees. (You know the mystery ones a regular car dealership likes to charge) Solano’s out the door price was $1999. FOR THE SAME SCOOTER, SAME COLOR, SAME EVERYTHING. Just no ridiculous fees to line their pockets. Will, our salesman was fantastic. Great sense of humor, made sure to acknowledge us when we arrived, offered us a bottle of water and took care of us a quickly as possible. No high pressure (considering we have been in and out multiple times) he just smiled and said “Hello again” each time. He understood we didn’t have unlimited funds and didn’t steer us to things we couldn’t afford. I would highly recommend Solano. No, they are not right up the street from UF, but compare their prices and it’s worth driving a mile. Drive the mile and spend the money you save on books and school fees!"

"Terrible service, I bought the scooter less than two months ago, at the beginning the scooter was working fine (I bought it as a new scooter), I have it inside a garage almost all the time and don't use it that much so it is almost new. About two weeks ago my back brake stopped working so I took it to Solano's to get it fixed since it still has warranty they didn't charge me for the repair and it was done the same day. I pick it up and the brakes were working, they were tighter than the front brakes but they told me it should loosen when I use it. Well the brakes haven't loosen yet and they are so tight that the wheel makes a sounds and you can smell the brakes, so I decided to take it on the weekend again that i got time (I noticed this 6 days ago). As I said I don't use the scooter that much so I didn't notice till Wednesday when i was washing and cleaning the scooter that two parts of the scooter where broken in a place that they will only break when doing a repair. Since the scooter is new it doesn't have any marks or scratches of any kind so its clear that this pieces broken had to be done doing a repair and the only repair done was at Solano's. So today i took it back to show them what happened and to see if they could fix the brakes. They just said they weren't responsible for that and blamed me for the damages, also said that all the scooters they fixed have that same problem on the brakes, that is "normal", so after they didn't take responsibility, blamed me for their bad service they didn't even solve the first issue I took it for. So I left Solano's and took the scooter to another repair shop just to have a diagnostics (without mentioning Solano's to get an honest answer) and they confirmed what I already knew, during the reparation the parts where probably broken and they just pretended nothing happen to see if I didn't noticed and the brake issue was totally solvable, now my brakes work normally. Never going to buy or do any repairs at Solano's again and share the information so you can be careful when dealing with them."
