We browsed for about 5 minutes before Doug came by and gave us the rundown on her options. She settled on one quickly and Doug had her out back on the bike for a test ride. He had her try a couple of other options to make sure she knew what she wanted. We bought her bike and I had my own bike in for a tune up the same day. What a great experience. Thanks DTFBS!

This is a review for a rental and repair, not a tour. I was biking with friends on the Riverfront…read morewhen one of them got a flat. We thought going to Wheelhouse to rent a bike or get the tire repaired seemed like a good idea. We showed up just as they were opening at 11am. The employees pull out the rental bikes and lock them up as part of their opening routine. My friend and I were waiting off to the side when the employee came over and said we were in their spot for their bikes. Ok, so we moved to a different location, she came over and said you're still in our spot. Ok, we moved further away, only to have her come over and tell us to move again. I get they have spots to put the bikes, but after the 2nd time, couldn't she have just pointed out a place for us to wait instead of telling us to move yet again? It was pretty irritating. So they open at 11, but apparently they cannot help you until they've pulled out all their inventory and locked it up outside the shop. We asked about a rental and she just kept saying - I'm busy - I can't help you until I'm done here. We asked well how long are you going to be? She didn't know, but just kept saying I'll get to you when I'm done. We said - well what about getting the tire fixed - how long do you think that might take? Same answer. Don't bug me, I'm busy pulling all the bikes out, and I don't know. Wow. What a crazy process. You show up when they open - but then stand around for 25 minutes while they prep the shop. Maybe do that before your opening time so you can actually HELP a customer when they show up at opening time. Finally, they were done and my friend asked about renting a bike and they showed her the options. She picked one and they got her set up. She was irritated because she's a seasoned biker and they treated her like an idiot. Again, some basic communication with her would have let them know she knew how to bike and that would have helped with set up. Finally, they agreed to fix her flat while we were gone. When we returned her flat was fixed, we returned the rental and were on our way. We were all really frustrated at the poor customer service and kept laughing about how poorly they handled the situation and the long wait just to get waited on. The bike was fine and the flat was fixed, thus the 2 stars.

Nate had been researching e-bikes for awhile and found one from Detroit Bikes that he liked, so we…read moredecided to check them out while in town recently. The shop is located right downtown and is actually really cool; it's designed after a historical bike shop in Detroit. They have these tall wood and glass cases that look like something from a natural history museum, I loved them! Scott was there when we stopped in and he was super helpful and knowledgable. He showed us the different sizes of the e-bike and answered all our questions about them (and we had many). He was great to talk to because he has one of them himself, so he could give information on how he uses the bike and what it's best for. He was so kind and polite! Nate took one out for a test ride and loved it. He decided to buy one and we figured out we could take one wheel off and get it into the trunk, but we'd need to do it the following day. Scott said no problem, he'd be there to help. He got us all set with payment and gave us some more info on how the battery charges, some tips and tricks, and gave us a tire pump and the keys for the battery. The next day we showed up and Scott had the bike ready to go. He showed us how to take the wheel off and we were on our way! I was so impressed with our experience at Detroit Bikes, and huge thanks to Scott for all his help and info. I would definitely recommend Detroit Bikes to anyone looking for an e-bike or a regular bike. All their bikes are assembled in Detroit, and some of their bikes have frames that are manufactured in house at their Detroit facility - pretty cool!
