Review from Joebo J.

I own a Daymak ebike.
I've had it for 15 months and then just last week, I got a front flat tire and the fuse inside my battery case got cracked so I lost all power! My brakes were also worn out from driving in the city 7 days a week.
I didn't know where to take my ebike for repair and I heard some horror stories from other ebike owners about the crummy service at Daymak, plus the Daymak location where I originally bought the ebike from is now closed and the Daymak main store is in the middle of friggin' nowhere.
I did some research on the web, and found that Green Choice Moto does ebike repair. I decided to take my ebike there since they were located in the downtown core and had a ebike model similar to mine.
They were very friendly and I spoke with the mechanic George and he told me to drop off my ebike.
They fixed everything in no time flat and the repair cost was very, very affordable. They even adjusted my turn signal switches which were loose.
Along with doing repairs, they also sell new ebikes. Some nice looking ebikes in a variety of different shapes and styles.
If you have a problem with your ebike or are looking to buy one, I highly recommend Green Choice Moto!
Great service! -
Review from Jarvis E.

I have seen and been to many Electric Scooter Stores...in the last 2 yrs they have sprouted up everywhere. I have also seen many close also because they didn't offer a good quality Electric Scooter or service.
As soon as I walked in I was greeted and educated fully about Electric Bikes - much better than I received elsewhere. Turns out Green Choice Moto is the only store in Toronto that rents E-Bikes. A great way to get a feel for them. I researched the quality of the bikes and know that these bikes are the highest quality from the best manufacture...and the best price....which is what "George" , the owner, told me when I was there also. - He loves to just see people driving them...and going GREEN :) They offer a 1 yr warranty and provide full service repairs if needed and store your bike in the winter if you like in the shop.
I stop in all the time to say hello :) -

Bought a bike from here and things were great. Then my battery started melting.
My bike started smelling funny when I was riding around and that's when I noticed the plastic housing around the battery fuse had melted. I brought it to the shop to get fixed. They didn't open on time. Waited for them for an hour in the rain.
They showed up and they said the fuse was disconnected. This didn't sound right for a couple of reasons. First, if a fuse was "disconnected" the battery shouldn't be able to work at all. Secondly, how does a fuse get disconnected? Shouldn't a vital safety feature of batteries be virtually impossible to disconnect?
Nonetheless, since it was under warranty I left it with the store. The guy said he had "a cold" and couldn't fix it right then and there. Came back three hours later when he said it was ready and asked how it was a battery could start to melt and if that was a safety hazard. Owner said I didn't understand what fuses were for and kicked me out of the store.
I was pissed.
Got home and opened the battery myself. You know how they "fixed" the fuse problem? They REMOVED THE FUSE from the circuit. These geniuses decided if a faulty safety feature was a problem, they'd just eliminate the safety feature without telling me and hide it inside the battery casing. Not only that but there were several abraded wires running between the battery cells, with bare metal exposed contacting the battery housing.
What probably happened was the exposed wires were melting the casing of the battery, not the fuse. They didn't fix it, but instead disabled a safety feature that I'm pretty sure is required by law. That's probably why he didn't want to fix it in front of me. Didn't want me to see him snipping the wires off the fuse.
These guys seem nice when you're looking to buy a bike, but really they're interested only in getting your money even if it means your battery will melt under your ass. Buyer beware indeed.
Also, pretty sure Jarvis E. who reviewed this place positively works for them. -

If I could give these guys negative stars I would.
Thy seem like great guys until you have a problem with your bike and you ask them to fix it.
I was told I would need to pay for my bike just to be looked at, then charged crazy rates on things that should've been covered under warranty
After having the bike fixed, 2 weeks later the same problem occurred, so I brought it back thinking they would try again. They proceeded to yell and SWEAR at me! Trying to make me pay to have it repaired AGAIN.
I have never been treated so unprofessionally in all my life (And Ive spoken to others who have had the same experience.)
DO NOT GO HERE. Seriously. I don't know how they've gotten any good reviews... (perhaps the posters haven't tried to get anything fixed with them)
