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.

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!

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.

I’m sick and tired of tactics of Stark… I’m sick and tired of tactics of Stark drive to irritate negative reviewer by asking same questions over and over again through Trustpilot. I highly doubt that they are doing same for positive reviewers if indeed they are real legitimate reviewers. I provided order number, my name and email and not once received any query from them. What they are doing is to discredit my negative review and only allowing positive reviews. Now I truly believe they are very unethical. Hope they spend their energy to address problems for customer rather than paying attention to negative reviews. When you start caring your customer, negative reviews will fade away. Maybe it’s too easy to ignore common sense.

Very unprofessional Everything was going good until Stark drive and UPS delivered to my old address, where the bike was taken by someone. Stark drives "customer support" is a complete joke. I was in contact with them through several emails, in which I was respectful with each one. Long story short, after they basically told me I'm screwed, they stopped replying to me completely. Very, very unprofessional in my honest opinion. Update: It now seems they are trying to start a lawsuit against me for giving this review. 10/30/18 Update: It seems they have gotten new customer service, although it seems they are motivated by my bad review more than anything. I have finally recieved my bike. I haven't been on it yet but it looks nice. It did not come with instructions so I was left to figure it out myself. I'm writing this review before riding it because Stark drive is pushing me to change my review "since I have received my bike". I'm glad I now have my bike, but getting a bike with Stark drive seems like a gamble. You might be very happy with your experience, or you might have one like mine.
