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.

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.

Product Perfect - Weak Service Service was indeed weak. Like most of starks customers, im sure i can relate to the stressful, worrying, helpless feelings that starks customer service provided. I waited about 6 months to get my bike and mistakenly relied on thinking i would recieve it in a timely manner. Yet..... it was like everything changed when UPS knocked on my door. Product perfect. Rode smoothly. Yet needed an instruction manual.

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!
