I will be a dedicated customer for life after my exceptional experience!!I went to a handful of other shops before this one, and I wish I had just started my search here. The workers at Freewheel are more knowledgeable than at any other shop I went to! Not just knowledgeable, but really into bikes and cycling as a sport. The shop also offers a discount on accessories when you buy your bike, which I wasnt told anywhere else (10-15% off? I forget).If youre a novice cyclist, I highly recommend asking for Matt. He listened to my wants, asked educated questions, insisted on me test driving a few options at different price points to see if I could feel a difference, and had WONDERFUL recommendations across the board! He took the time to give me pointers on bike basics - how to fit the bike to you, how best to pedal, how to shift - the whole shebang. He then walked me through all the types of accessories I was interested in, and had great thoughts on helmets and their technology, without being pushy. He loves biking and it shows - he got me excited to get into the sport!The cherry on top though was how the shop responded to an issue. While transporting my bike home I ran into a major unexpected issue and the shop went above and beyond to help me solve it. After my experience I am a dedicated customer for life!

The PEOPLE are why we keep coming back. The EP location of Freewheel are kind, respectful, knowledgeable and always SOOO helpful. George, Kris, Matt and others. Whether it’s a question about a bike, an accessory or a bike adventure, the people at this location are the #1 reason we love to shop here. And… the store carries great products… but great products with crummy people would mean we would shop somewhere else. Thanks for being GOOD to your people who work there to be sure they stay and are happy in their jobs. That makes it a better experience for us as customers. Cheers! And here’s to some great rides!!

Our salesperson (Aidan) was amazing!! He made us feel very comfortable and not at all being pressured. And even those not working with us directly would stop over and make sure we were updated on our bikes status while we waited. Thank you for a good experience!

Christopher was friendly and helpful when I (clueless about how to fix bikes) brought in my son’s contorted bike after an accident. He also answered my questions about helmets and bike repair classes. I bought my Trek bike there in 2020, along with a Kuat rack that I love …in the midst of COVID..and everyone was super friendly and fast and the protocol for masks and people waiting to get in etc was spectacular. Very tolerant of those of us who don’t know much about the gear but still love to ride! Great place and people. Thank you!

The experience I had at Freewheel was second to none. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly and passionate. Matt really wanted to understand what type of rider I was and where I would be riding before sending me out the door when purchasing a new MTB. I have found my new go to shop for all my cycling needs. Thank you Freewheel!

Review №11

Bought my most recent bike from them as well as a trailer hitch mounted rack. Service department brilliantly corrected a problem with a Kuat bike rack we bought that had a piece that was in the wrong place as shipped from the factory that would allow the trailer to be snug in the hitch so it doesnt move around. These guys arent just great bike sales and maintenence guys they think like engineers and were able to correct the hitch problem just before we went on a long trip where the rack needed to be functional. Thank you Freewheel! You rock!

Excellent service. We know our bikes will be fixed correctly and as quickly as possible. The Minnetonka location has been more than accommodating of our family’s needs as NICA coaches and participants. We would definitely recommend Freewheel to others!

A very kind employee helped me get all the parts I need to prepare my wheelchair tires for winter. They were so accommodating and helpful. The employee even went out to the parking lot with me to test my speedometer to make sure its working properly. They went above and beyond to make sure I was all set and gave helpful advice for changing my tubes/tires and measuring my speed and distance accurately. Im so grateful for their assistance and will definitely be coming back soon.

After bouncing between communities the past few years, Freewheel Eden Prairie has became my new home when it comes to anything cycling. All of the employees are friendly and really strive on building relationships with their customers. From the first time I stepped foot into the shop I felt very welcome and didnt feel like an outsider. They listen to you what you want, and give recommendations based off that while not trying to push something out of your budget. Im grateful to find such a pleasant shop to work with, and look forward to future encounters. Thank you!

You have great recommendations for every cyclists from the e-bike rider to the casual touring cyclist to the speed and performance athlete. You have a great way of encouraging cyclists with tips to make their cycling experience even better. A great resource here in EP!

Best management and service of a bike shop hands down. Knowledgeable, friendly, upbeat, and skilled. I‘m a bit obsessive about new purchases, and I looked for things on bike that were uneven or off and I found NOTHING! Perfect build. I had them make several modifications/upgrades before I left and all were completed ASAP. Won’t be buying a bike anywhere else again. Thanks EP Freewheel!

I live in San Diego and visit the Twin Cities to see family. Bought a fat tire bike and a bike rack from Freewheel in Eden Prairie. Staff is welcoming and friendly, selection is excellent, and Fanatics sale prices are awesome. Wish you had a store in SoCal - youd kill it.

Review №28

The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly with me. I mostly do my own maintenance but for tricky things (like getting a steerer tube cut) Ill trust the pros to get it right. I felt very comfortable with them and they understood exactly what I was looking for. They made sure I knew what I was asking for to be extra certain without making me feel dumb. They even looked at another issue for me as well with my bottom bracket and confirmed my suspicions that something was amiss and fixed it. Both services were more than fairly priced with a quick turnaround time. But almost most importantly, the staff I interacted with seemed to really enjoy bikes and asked me about various things I did to change it up. Its always fun to have somebody recognize that you swapped out a TT bike cockpit from the stock to something a bit more exotic and be able to point it out.

I appreciate so much the quality advice given to me regarding my recent purchases of a helmet (Giro Agilis), brake cables, winter gloves (Outdoor Research Highcamps), bar tape (lizard skins), and 700c wheel. It is always great feeling comfortable asking questions and feeling like Im getting an honest answer from people who ride and want whats best for a fellow cyclist. Thanks a bunch and Ill definitely be coming back!

The sales team was absolutely fantastic! Their enthusiasm is infectious and resulted a purchase that has been in the works for quite a while.I came in for a bright pink Roscoe 20 for my daughter. I wanted to get something that would fit and give her the most confidence while still figuring things out a little bit. The team in store was so enthusiastic they managed to sell me 2 fat bikes as well! (I had been considering for a couple years but waiting for my son to be a riding partner. At nearly 9 hes lanky enough for the smallest frame.) Its been a week and my daughter has progressed nicely despite the recent snow storm and my son and I have been out 5 of the last 7 days.Every time the 3 of us get on these bikes the grin is new and genuine!!! Get out there!

First off, I called in to discuss the potential purchase of a Wahoo Kickr. Bret answered the phone and we started our discussion about the machine, benefits, and price. I was so impressed with Bret interaction with me; I could tell he truly cared and knew what he was talking about. I hung up with Bret and immediately called a competitor to have the same discussion I just had with Bret. Ill spare you the details but it suffices to say my experience was almost the exact opposite. So, I continued my travels to Freewheel where I met Bret and continued our talk (and my experience) about what exact model I should purchase. I ended up not only purchasing the Kickr Core but also purchased the Wahoo Element bundle along with a few other misc items.I let Bret know how much I appreciated his professionalism and told him why I ended up at Freewheel and not your competitors.Im all set up and thoroughly enjoying my purchase, thanks.

I just waited 45 minutes outside in the heat to pick up my bike. I understand during Covid that things are a little different but 45 minutes is unacceptable. Once I was allowed in I counted 6 employees around the shop and I was the only customer. People find another bike shop that knows how to treat there customers. Total Fail.

I have been coming to Freewheel for 30 years. Between my wife, son, and myself we have purchased 16 bikes from Freewheel. Why? Because the people on the floor are knowledgeable, friendly, and do everything they can to make sure we are satisfied customers. Also, the mechanics at Freewheel are the best in town! They have been working on our bikes for years. If there is a problem they make sure it is made right. Truly, Freewheel stands above the other shops in the Twin Cities!Greg Fields

We are new to Freewheel (Eden Prairie) after switching bike dealers. It has been a wonderful experience; friendly staff that actually care about us and worked with us to resolve technical issues with an existing bike, helped us with warranty claims, ordered us a new bike (just ordered a second) and generally took great care of us. So many helpful people: Scott in service, Chris in sales, Lily, Ted, Verlin, shop manager - too many to list. So glad we hooked up. The owner, Kevin, has created a great environment for his staff and cyclist in the community. Would highly recommend.

Bought a new bike for my wife last month at the EP store and we’ve been very impressed with the quality and friendly, helpful service after purchase. We brought her bike back a few times for adjustments and customizing and they’ve been willing to take the time to talk it through. Also a good sign: salesperson talked me out of buying an accessory and just suggested a cheap and easy fix. Honesty like that isn’t a given these days! We will come back next time we have a bike purchase to make.

Super helpful. I am far - very far - from being on expert on anything bicycle-related. I went in to shop for a new bike after several years of not even owning one and everyone that I dealt with was very kind and helpful. The people who work here are very knowledgeable on all aspects of the bikes they are selling, and I never felt like they were talking down to me for coming in with very little knowledge on the latest in bicycle tech. I was also pleased by the lack of pretense by the employees. Everyone was very to-the-point and down-to-earth. They left me with no doubt that if any issues were to arise with my bike, they would be more than willing to remedy the issue quickly and happily. Very happy with Freewheel - EP!

I love Freewheel, theyre my go to shop in town. Theyre knowledgeable and friendly, and dont make me feel out of place if Im not lyrcra clad and putting in 100s of miles each week. Their maintenance rates are also pretty reasonable. Avoid peak busy time though, if youre dropping off for service. In the spring, expect to wait nearly 2 weeks for a tune-up.
