GBThis 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.

GBsad 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

SEReally 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.

GBVery 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.

GBBrilliant 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
