Terrible experience Terrible experience. Battery hasn’t lasted more than a few months. This product is cheap for good reasons. The Stark bike didn’t include delivery so became a very expensive ordeal with Customs duties etc. They ask for a delivery address then only deliver to the nearest port.

I would not purchase this bike again.... The bike I received was more or less in-line with the quality one would expect for the price. All told, my 500w version with suspension was around $1,050 US delivered to California. I have two issues with the bike that have resulted in a low rating: 1) When the bike arrived, the brakes were not properly adjusted and the disks are warped. After only two rides, one of the two bolts holding the front brake caliper fell out, it apparently was not properly torqued at the factory. As well, both the front and rear brakes flutter and do not provide linear stopping due to warped brake disks. 2) Pedal assist: after roughly 5 rides on the bike, the pedal assist stopped working at all. The electric motor can only be engaged by using the throttle which I find to be quite annoying. I have physically inspected the crank sensor and it appears to be lined up properly and all the wire connections appear to be solid. I contacted STARK and they told me to take the bike to a local repair shop - at my expense, they only offered to replace any defective parts that the shop may identify. Going forward, I would only buy a bike from an established company that will honor basic warranty requests as this bike is not really usable in its current state. I am heistant to go spend more money to chase down the crank sensor issue since there is no documentation on the cycle computer and I am not sure if it is a setting issue or failure of a component. I am order #684, placed in June 2017 for Batch #2 UPDATE 7/5/18 My review is back on the site after STARK filed a number of false claims with Trustpilot that my review was not legitimate. I included my name and order number with the original review but STARK still went ahead and claimed that I was not indeed a legitimate customer even through they have all the data to verify such. I am by no means a STARK hater and am in fact rooting for STARK's success. But how can a company succeed when they are spending more time and resources trying to muzzle legitimate complaints than focusing on true customer service to ensure the product shipped actually works. I suggest STARK work with customers to repair/address real product failures and the negative reviews will melt away based on the goodwill they engender. Just my suggestion.

Bike of the Ages I've had two electric bikes before this and though they were nice, they're nothing compared to the Stark Drive City. This bike is superb and quite luxurious. The mere design is breathtaking and the performance is second to none. I enjoy long drives with the marvellous bike and nothing beats having the wind blowing through your hair on a cool afternoon. The locking mechanism is very clever and saves me time from worrying if someone will tamper with my battery. I'd definitely recommend anyone to try this and if their as happy as I am just give me a thumbs up.

Purchased one just before Christmas Purchased one just before Christmas, picked it up from the shop in Stockholm. It was easy to assemble all parts were good. The Swedish government will refund 25% of the cost as a campaign to promote electric bicycles. I intend to order three more later this year. With the government refund I will get one bike for free. I feel sorry for the guy in Australia who lost his bike to the customs. Seems like a stupid behavior from a government, concedering the environmental advantages with a e-bike

sad simply sad The bikes (i ordered two) came via FedEx more then a month past the date i was told to expect them. upon arrival the bikes were damaged from poor packaging and possibly choice of shipper. after getting a chance to ride the bikes i noticed preexisting damage from when the bikes where build. i had other professionals look at the bikes to confirm what i was seeing. i can not find a shop to work on the bikes due to compatibility and availability of parts. the customer service with the company is dismal and the provided information is general in nature much sky of what is needed to maintain my bikes. the company is not willing to inform me of the parts i need and has stopped all communication with me in regards to these two bikes. one of which i have never been able to use the electric component of. very sad maybe my expectations where to high
