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

had it for over a year had it for over a year. use it to commute to work (20miles roundtrip) Goods: 1) looks good 2) battery lasts for up to 40miles 3) decent price. although not a fan of hiding $200 shipment fee! Needs improvement: 1) Super heavy. doesnt feel like a bicycle. make it lighter roadbike like pls. 2) parts were finicky: i had to get replacement brakes, readjust paddle (came apart during ride!), and tighten the latch that folds the bike (came apart during ride!). Get the powerful motor because mine (350W 9amph) feels slow and heavy.

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 bought into the Stark Drive startup… I bought into the Stark Drive startup and having been involved with other such ventures I knew some what to expect. BUT. Since having been an investor in this startup Ive not been subject to any kind of after delivery customer service. The battery for the bike they sent me is faulty and can i get any kind of corespondence out of the company? no non. I am having difficulties with Stark Drive and its owner and it seems anyone at this company gives a hoot about its backers / customers. Stark Drive, you can report this post in under 5 minutes??? look after your customers the same will you. REPLY FROM Stark Drive....... Cont. They write... Thank you for the review however we had already contacted you and informed you a new battery could be sent out if you were to send back your existing one for analysis, !!!! My Reply, You only contacted me because I had posted how I felt on Trust pilot, so dont say you had already contacted me. Thats a lie. They also write........ we have already done this is a very few other cases but you refused to send your pack, there is unfortunately nothing we can do if you do not follow our warranty procedures. My Reply,,,,, What are you trying to say in the first half of this paragraph? it does not make sense, and yes I refused to send back my battery under your warranty as you expected me to ( in your words ) wait while the battery was sent back to the manufacturer for analysis! leaving me with a useless and un use-able product, for how long? I was'nt willing to find out as your RSVP process to questions is very very lapsed, not taking into account the amount of time it takes your company to send articles by post or courier. I will source a new battery for my bike that has a useful warranty process.

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.
