Sidi is the best! A great mechanic, an honest broker and a true gentleman who goes the extra mile for his customers. Cannot recommend City Cycles highly enough. Thank you Sir! read more

City Cycle is my go to for all my bikes. From vintage to modern, Sidi can fix them all and keep them running. Most shops wouldn't even touch them, due to age and how obscure they are. 24 year old Bajaj Chetak, 2004, 2006 and 2009 Honda, vespa and aprilla. Siri turns them around fast and his bill is always very reasonable. I ride the njt train right there for pick up. So, easy. read more

I found City Cycles on Facebook. I was searching for a motorcycle/scooter repair shop to tune-up my moped / scooter and figure out the electrical problem that has prevented the scooter from starting with the ignition for a month. I initially found a shop that told me they would need the bike for a minimum of 1 week and maximum of 2 weeks. I use the scooter everyday to get me to and from the train station so I can then commute into NYC daily. I could not afford to lose my scooter for that long. I also only paid 1,500 for the scooter, so I was trying to find a place that wouldn't cost me too much. After weeks of searching and having to manually jump my scooter each morning, I stumbled across City Cycles in Short Hills NJ right across the street from the Short Hills train station. I found and emailed the owner Sidi Traore. I explained to Sidi what the issue was and if he thought he could fix it for a reasonable price and if he could do it and have it back to me within a few days. He responded and gave me an idea on price and told me to bring it down and he would fix it asap. So I did. I dropped it off in the morning before work. By early afternoon he had diagnosed the issues and made all nessesary repairs. He emails me and tells me it's ready to pick up that same day. I was shocked. I took the train there after work to pick it up. When I arrived the bike was shiny and clean. Sidi said he gave it a bath for me. It looked brand new! He showed me the long list of repairs he made. All of which were in line with the ballpark estimate he gave me initially. I was extremely satisfied. My bike works as good as new again. Let me give you some insight on Sidi. You couldn't meet a nicer guy. He is polite and calm, and explains everything so well. You can tell he is so passionate about working on motorcycles / scooters / mopeds etc. His passion comes out in the way he explains the repairs and the bike in general. In fact, when he started the bike to show me all was good with it, his facial expression looked like he was listening to something. He pulls out his screwdriver and makes an adjustment on the spot. I asked what he was doing and he said he wasn't fully happy with the idle sound and wanted to adjust. Passion and caring! He told me the belt had a few hundred miles left on it before it would break. He told me not to worry and just drive it. He said he would order one for me, and when it does break, he would come out to me wherever I am and make the belt change right then and there. Sidi is passionate about bikes and his passion comes out in his work. His prices were super reasonable, and he got the job done in 1 day because he knew I needed the scooter to get to and from the train station daily for work. The convience of being across the street from the Short Hills train station was great. I live in Berkeley Heights. I was able to drop the bike and get on the train going to NYC. I don't give reviews often, but just had to here. Sidi is awesome! read more

City Cycles - Motorcycle Repair Near Me - Madison, New Jersey

Has general motorcycle knowledge of all makes of bikes but has no specific expertise.

Sidi really came through and restored my 2001 Ducati Monster 750. Asked around NJ for service and all I got is "Bike's too old, sorry pal".... Sidi was happy to look at the bike and confident he could repair and service the bike, regardless of age. Completely transparent, friendly and knowledgeable on what was wrong, what needed repairing. Provided a complete breakdown of parts and cost needed, while going as far as providing pictures of the work getting performed throughout the week. Even helped getting the biked towed for long distance delivery when done. Really glad I found his service via Yelp and then via Facebook/IG. Price was more than reasonable and the level of communication was really impressive. Def bringing my bike back here for future service. Great guy and great mechanic. read more

Great service, and experience... Brought my son's Honda Shadow 750 in for new tires. Sidi the owner made it happen same day for a great price..Ill be back for sprockets, and chain again soon...Highly recommend read more

Amazing and honest mechanic with fair prices. He saved me from having to do a lot unnecessary (and expensive) work when all that needed to be done was some minor adjustments; I might have ( and probably wouod have) been taken for a ride if i went to the wrong guy. read more

Sidi was amazing - he managed to figure out the problem (previous owner put oil in the coolant) super quickly and was able to bring my bike back to life. Because of his intelligence, expertise, and experience, you can be sure that your bike is in safe hands. read more

False advertisement. Business is never open nor does the phone get answered if you call. Only when you text do you get a delayed response just to end up setting up an appointment AND ARRIVING for no one to be there and the business closed. Not only ONCE BUT TWICE. The mechanic through text said to "go somewhere else and be happy" when i texted I'm going to file a complaint. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME COMING HERE. read more

I needed a motorcycle shop to fix my 2010 victory cross country Touring motorcycle. My son found CITY CYCLES on Facebook. I reached out to Sidi and was very comfortable speaking with him. I took my bike to him and to get my back shock replaced and other stuff done as well.I am really satisfied with the work he performed....A VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER..... read more

Sidi. He's a genius. I went to see my son in Jersey. On the way there my motorcycle rear tube blew. Having to call AAA and taking an uber was not an option. Found City Cycles and decided to take a chance. Boy was that chance a life saver. Not having any spare tubes or tires for that matter he managed to do what he does best and get me home. An act of generosity from Sidi and I was able to make it all the way back to LIC NY. Best motorcycle mechanic I've ever met. read more

Sidi is to motorcycles as Cesar Milan is to pit bulls. My friend with a Harley recommended Sidi to me and now my Honda 919 is running smooth and safe with new fork seals and brake pads. He really knows what he's doing on all models and types of bikes. Come winter I'm taking my cycle in for a full service. Compared to low price back yard mechanics or overpriced dealerships - you won't find a better place for professional and timely service at fair rates. I'm glad he setup shop in my AO. . read more

Sidi fixed my 1984 Puch Maxi Sport LS. I'm writing this review because of not only the great job he did, but because of who he is. He is the nicest guy, and is always smiling. He truly is passionate about what he does and you can tell. I honestly just felt compelled to write this review because of how great my experience was with him. Seriously, thank you so much Sidi, you're the man. read more

Sidi is the best mechanic in NJ! As a novice to motorcycles, Sidi not only fixed all of my problems but took the time to explain to me what to look for in the future. Great customer service and top of the line repairs. I will use City Cycles for any repairs or service I need from now on. read more

Great customer service experience. I went to his shop to drop off my motorcycle because it had an electrical problem and not only that he solved the problem in about 10 minutes but also that he did not wanted to charge me for the quick fix. Any other shop would probably take your bike in and 2 weeks later come up with a few hours worth of work. Very honest and reasonable guy.. hands down best motorcycle shop experience! read more

Great place to take your bike! Had a slow leak in the front tire & they fixed it perfectly (& sent me pics of what was causing the problem.) Sidi will do whatever he can to get you back on the road. Has a couple of custom builds in progress also. They keep late hours so call first to make sure someone will be there. read more
