About Us – Coastal Cycles

2025 – We are Celebrating 21 Years in Business.

Coastal Cycles is a small, independent cycle shop located in the lovely seaside town of Littlehampton, West Sussex.

We first opened our doors in 2004 in Pier Road, Littlehampton as the first bricks and mortar Dutch Bike Shop. Since Brexit, we no longer import Dutch bikes from the Netherlands owing to the costs and complexities of post-Brexit trading.

Our sales business now concentrates primarily on the sale of Ebikes – from a number of leading UK ebike brands — inlcuding Raleigh, Wisper and Ebco. We also sell used bikes and at times, used Ebikes.

Our busy workshop services both ebikes and non-ebikes. We are an authorised BOSCH Service Centre, Yamaha Service Centre and Bafang Service centre.

Servicing and Repairing Dutch Bikes – Hub Geared bikes

We have gained an enviable reputation for servicing and repairing Dutch bikes with many customers travelling some distance to bring their Dutch bikes to us to repair/service. We have extensive experience of working on Shimano Nexus hubs – and can usually assist repairing most issues. Or if this isn’t possible, advising you prior to your spending out on ultimately unsuccessful repairs.

We also sell a range of used bikes and when available, used ebikes.

Stock varies – please check out website (new section will be opened shortly with details of bikes available) for details of the latest stock. We regret that we don’t offer a mail order service for either new or used bikes/accessories.

Test Rides

We are always happy to allow customers to test ride both our new and used bikes. ID and a deposit may be required. If you require a cycle helmet, please bring your own. We do not provide cycle helmets for test rides. Test rides are limited to the models we have in store at the time of your visit.

Price Match

We offer a price-matching on ‘like for like deals’. Please contact us via email – coastalcycles@live.co.uk with details of the bike that you’d like us to price match on. Please included a link to the seller and the offer. We’ll get back to you as soon as we can with either a yes or a no.

Free local delivery on all new bikes and ebikes

We offer a free local delivery on all new ebikes and bikes. Local delivery within a 10 mile range of our store – Littlehampton. BN17 6BP. Your bike will be delivered by ourselves – fully assembled, fully charged (if an ebike) and ready to ride. We will go through how your bike works, you can ride it to make sure you’re happy before you go. And, if post-sale, if anything is wrong, we can put this right for you. Benefits of buying your bike from a local shop.

What we don’t do:

Escooters – We don’t sell them and we don’t repair them.
Non-Road Legal Ebikes – We don’t sell them, and we don’t repair them.
Road Legal Ebikes that have been tampered with – We don’t repair/service them. If you’ve fitted dongles or other non-brand approved software to your ebike – you’re on your own. We ain’t touching it. If you’ve got a Bosch System and you’ve overriden it as soon as we run our Bosch software diagnostic tool over it, it detects that you’ve played with their software system and shuts everything down.
