How to distinguish an original from a fake?
Unfortunately, many unscrupulous manufacturers fake Land Rover bikes and sell low-quality goods under the guise of the original at a much lower cost. We will give some useful tips to help distinguish the original brand bike from a Chinese fake. First of all, you should pay attention to the price. Even teenage Land Rover models will not cost less than 20,000 rubles, not to mention adult products.
Get transport exclusively from authorized dealers of the company. Typically, bicycles can be bought directly at the dealership. If the purchase is made in another place, including in the online store, first ask the seller for certificates confirming the quality of the purchased products - the Land Rover logo on the case still does not mean anything. Carefully inspect the bike, check each mount - they must be reliable.
Pay attention to the pedals: it is desirable that they are made of cast aluminum, and not plastic, and have spikes for firmly fixing the legs.
The forks of the original models are solid and wide, equipped with a travel lock. Check and frame. Unscrupulous sellers give out metal structures for aluminum. Checking the material is quite simple: attach a magnet to the frame - if it falls, then the original is in front of you. On switches and under the steering wheel it must be engraved logo of the Japanese brand Shimano. For fakes, it is either absent or presented in the form of a sticker.
