A million reasons
Firstly, our bikes are designed and built right here in the Cotswolds. We don’t buy factory frames and put stickers on them. Each frame is developed by us and rigorously tested by people who are good with numbers and know how to ride. We make sure our bikes have a comfortable riding position, sharp handling, thoroughly decent component sets and frame geometry that would impress the likes of Leonardo da Vinci. Instead of taking shortcuts, we do things the slow way and make brilliant bikes that have integrity and good looks to match.
Hand Built to Order
Most companies stick your bike in a box and take your money. The reason we don’t send our bikes out the next day is that each one is assembled to order to your exact specifications. We double-check every nut and bolt, make sure the chain is tensioned properly, the tyres are inflated, the gears are tested and the brakes are fitted in the correct position. This isn’t any old bike; this is your bike, and we want to make sure it’s as damn close to perfection as possible when it arrives at your door. It’s a slightly longer process, but it’s worth the wait.
We’ve got your back
We accept a variety of payment types including credit card, debit card and PayPal – and we even offer monthly finance options to spread the cost. The payment process is completely secure, and our bikes are insured with DX and UPS, so you are covered right up to the moment you inspect your delivery. When your order arrives, the only thing you need to do is add the finishing touches using the toolbox supplied. Don’t worry, our bikes are 99% assembled when we ship them and anyone can put them together (even if you failed every exam at school).
A phone call away
We are only a phone call or email away from helping you out. As a small team, you can phone us up without having to listen to cheesy pop songs or speaking to a robot voice. You can call us by our first names (or nicknames), ask us pretty much any bike-related question, and get through to exactly the right person to sort out any issues or queries.
Warranty
The Mango Bikes badge on your bike is more than just a sweet piece of design. It’s our way of signing our work and putting our name to what we do. All our bike frames and forks come with a three-year warranty and we also offer a warranty on components (read more here).
What happens when we receive your order / order tracking
Place Your Oder
Place your order securely through the website or over the phone. Then sit back, relax, and let us do the rest of the work.
Order Confirmation
You’ll receive an email from us confirming that we’ve received your order. If you don’t receive this then get in touch and we’ll confirm.
Parts and Accessory Orders
As long as it’s in stock, any part or accessories (without a bike) are dispatched on the next working day.
Build Schedule
Bike orders are added to the build queue.
Hand built and quality checked
All bike orders are fully assembled and tested by our team of technicians. They’re then quality checked before being dissembled and boxed for shipping.
Dispatch and Tracking
As soon as your bike has been dispatched you’ll receive tracking info from the chosen courier. This will give you an ETA and tracking code, so you can find out the status of your delivery.
Easy Assembly
Your Mango is delivered to your door with complete assembly instructions and all the tools you required for assembly. It should only take 15 minutes from opening the box to riding away.
Customer support
Our customer support team are available 9-5:30 week days to offer any help and advice. You can contact us via email, live chat or over the phone. We’re always happy to talk!
Changing your order
If you’ve placed your order and need to change it for whatever reason please email or call our friendly customer service team. Note: If your order has already been dispatched or if your bike has already been built we cannot make any changes.
Cancelling your order
If for whatever reason you need to cancel your order, we’ll refund the full amount of an accessory/component order provided you notify us within 24hrs of purchase. Standard stock bikes and custom bikes can be cancelled within 48hrs of purchase. If notice is given after these specified times, its likely work will have begun or your order will have already been dispatched. If this is the case and the bike parts have already been picked and allocated then a £25 restocking fee will be incurred. If work hasn’t begun or your order is still in our warehouse, we’ll do our best to honour your request to cancel.
Placing a deposit
Sometimes if an item is out of stock, you’ll be given the option to place a deposit allowing you to reserve the item until it’s next available. The remaining balance will be requested from your account just before the item comes back into stock (you’ll receive an email from us asking you to follow a link and authorise the final payment). Please note, deposits are non-refundable unless cancelled within 24hrs of placing the order. Once you’ve received the item, returns and warranties follow the same policy as normal.
Payment information
We accept all major credit and debit cards, PayPal, and have a range of finance options.
VAT and VAT-Free Orders
All orders placed outside of the EU or outside VAT territory inside the EU such as Canary and Channel Islands will not be charged VAT. Mango Bikes will not be responsible for your own countries tax and/or import duties.
Security
We take online security very seriously and have taken every precaution to ensure that your payment information is processed confidentially and accurately.We don’t hold sensitive payment details about our customers. When you input your card details during shopping or into your account area, the card processor retains all the information about your card and only issues MB with a unique token identifier. This token allows us to process the cost of your order against your card. It also allows us to issue refunds. We don’t have access to your complete card details.

Bike Delivery
Unlike most bike companies, we make our bikes to order. This means that we hold fire on the finishing touches until you press the buy button. Once that happens, we open up the toolbox and get to work – leaving you with a totally dialled bike that is thoroughly checked over and finished to your specification. All this takes a few days and is actually part of the healing process for our technicians, who fall a little bit in love with every bike they make.
As soon as your bike is ready, we’ll give you a shout so you can get your head around this new stage in your life. UK orders are sent on a next day service and orders to Europe are sent on a 2-3 working day service. Your bike will arrive 99% finished, which is the safest way for us to send your order. All you need to do is attach the front wheel, saddle, handlebars and pedals. It only takes a few minutes (tools and instructions are included). If you need help, don’t bottle it up inside – head over to our help page for video instructions or give us a call.
Accessories Delivery
If you order any of the little (but no less important) items on our website, we’ll aim to send these within 1-2 working days via DHL or Royal Mail. If your order is with DHL, they will send you an email with the estimated delivery date and tracking info. If your order is with Royal Mail, then we’ll send you a dispatch confirmation ourselves.
Warranty
Your happiness levels are of paramount importance to us. Once you order one of our bikes, you are no longer a random person on the Internet – you’re one of us. As such, you automatically get a three-year warranty on the frame and one-year warranty on components. If on the odd chance you need to send something back or make a warranty claim, please see our help page to read through some very dull (but mercifully short) T&Cs and check that you can make a claim. Any other issues or questions, feel free to give us a call.
Returns
You can return any unused bikes and accessories for a full refund within 30 days. Read the small print on our help page.
