This is a GREAT bike This is a GREAT bike, with impressive features - see my unboxing and assembly video. I'm a Cambridge accademic, so I know about cycling, though I'm not a mechanic. It was easy, though there were some surprises. see YouTube pfo7m7rJlN8 There was some damage in transit and I'm having problems getting a response from them about this, but hopefully this will be sorted.

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

Vorsicht! Nicht zu empfehlen! Gibt es nur Ärger! Nach fast 10 Monaten sind die Bikes endlich geliefert worden! Es gab viele Lügen und Versprechungen seitens Stark Drive! Leider sind die bestellten Bikes nicht vollständig! Die bestellten Schutzbleche fehlen und man bekommt keine Reaktion von Stark Drive! Ein Fahrrad wurde beim Versand oder auch direkt beim verpacken durch den Hersteller beschädigt! Des weiteren fehlte der Akku bei einem Bike! Fotos von der Beschädigung und eine Bitte um nachliefern der Schutzbleche werden ignoriert! Mehrere Emails werden einfach ignoriert! Eine Reaktion habe ich dann doch bekommen: Please return the bikes. The shipping address is Shenzhen china. Please get back to us which carrier you will use. Return shipping costs are your responsibility. Be sure to inform the carrier you are sending high capacity lithium batteries. Wegen des Akkus ist es nicht möglich die Fahrräder nach China zurück zusenden! Was nicht geliefert wird, wird nicht erstattet und auch nicht nachgeliefert! Garantie gibt es dann anscheinend auch nicht, da man auf Reklamationen einfach nicht reagiert! Überlegt euch gut, ob Ihr ein Fahrrad bestellen wollt, da es nach der Bestellung kein Widerruf gibt und mit PayPal seid ihr auch nicht abgesichert, da Crowndfunding bei PayPal nicht abgesichert ist!! Google translate: After almost 10 months, the bikes have finally been delivered! There were many lies and promises from Stark Drive! Unfortunately, the ordered bikes are not complete! The ordered fenders are missing and you get no reaction from Stark Drive! A bicycle was damaged during shipping or directly when packaging by the manufacturer! Furthermore, the battery was missing on a bike! Photos of the damage and a request to resupply the fenders are ignored! Several emails are simply ignored! I got a reaction after all: Please return the bikes. The shipping address is Shenzhen China. Please get back to us which carrier you will use. Return shipping costs are your responsibility. Be sure to inform the carrier you are sending high capacity lithium batteries. Because of the battery, it is not possible to send the bikes back to China! What is not delivered, will not be refunded and not re-delivered! Apparently there is no guarantee either, because you simply do not react to complaints! Think well, if you want to order a bike, because there is no revocation after the order and with PayPal you are not hedged, as crownfunding at PayPal is not secured!

Really amazing purchase that included a weird error I love the design of the bike and it feels really nice to ride it around my city. Friends that I pass by with the bike gets impressed, and it does indeed feels like a very great purchase! On the other side: When I turned on the electric power, I felt amazed that I cycled so fast that I almost got scared. But for some reason the electricity kinda stopped working on the first day riding out of nowhere. It probably isn't the company's fault but one of the manufacturers, and it feels kinda complex to ask the company for a fix, so I might go to a third party to check this up.

Brilliant product I waited over a year for my Stark bike .. It finally arrived about two weeks ago and I have to say it’s brilliant .. It far exceeds expectations . Very well made and an excellent specification ... The year wait was very frustrating indeed as any meaningful and specific customer liaison was poor to say the least ...However , in view of the quality product now received , all this can be forgiven ... Only negative now is that there are no instructions in respect of the electronic controls ... I’m still trying to figure a few out .. I strongly recommend this bike as a good buy
