Previous Employee. Terrible boss, someone who could only be described as a psychopathic dictator, constantly micro-managing his staff, exhibits extremely aggressive and toxic behaviour. There was not one member of staff who was not on some form of anti-anxiety medication every day, female staff were regularly in tears, one member had written up a suicide note and sent it to her family. There are serious illegal activities that take place, including forging shipping documents as well as continues threats of salary deductions and bullying. Staff are demanded to "repair" damaged components by colouring them in with sharpies/markers. You will not find one employee who will tell you otherwise. Steer clear of this business and it's owner, Deon Retief.

During August 2019 I purchased a Silverback E-bike from Action Cycles in Port Elizabeth. I was told that the bike comes with a 2 year warranty. I used the bike for 4 months and did 100km with it. At the beginning of December the bike was shipped to Luxembourg as I relocated there. I received the bicycle in April 2020 in Luxembourg. I used it once before it started giving hassles with the motor. I contacted Silverback who told me I need the proof of purchase from Action cycles. My invoice was misplaced in the move so I contacted Action cycles for a copy, only to tell me they have lost all records due to changing accounting systems. Really? Wonder how they going to do their tax returns. Silverback now claims that I must resolve the problem with Shimano who manufactures the motor. Its been two months now and the bicycle is still not fixed. BE WARNED!!! Silverback will not be of any help to back their warranties. Next time your new car goes faulty you will have to take it up with whoever supplied the manufacturer with that component. HaHa!! I am simply putting it out there to warn people to rather consider other brands when buying a bicycle. YOU WILL GET YOUR FINGERS BURNT WITH SILVERBAC****
