Validation

Validation

Our Cycle Validation and Replacement Division was established in 1992 in response to a demand from several major insurers. Since then we have made continual investments in order to ensure that our validation systems are the most comprehensive and accurate. With details of over 48,000 cycle models sold since the late 1980’s, the database holds information on all cycles that have been available in the UK.

Choice

Choice

As a truly independent cycle retailer we have developed strong, direct relationships with all major cycle and accessory manufacturers and distributors in the UK. We are able to offer the UK’s widest choice of bikes with a current range of over 140 brands available. This choice of brands is crucial to our success in ensuring that the insurance companies using our service are able to maximise conversion rates and therefore realise the financial and service benefits.

Quality

Quality

All cycles supplied by Wheelies Direct are fully assembled and pre-checked by CyTech NVQ qualified technicians prior to despatch. This ensures they are built to the highest quality and exceed BS6102 (Parts 1&2). A quality controller undertakes additional checks before the cycle is released for despatch. Wheelies Direct has built up a great deal of credibility both within the insurance industry and the wider business community.
