    Locking Sport?

    I got an aluminum kbrotech handle bar/ seat post adapter for water bottle from Amazon. I do not know how to post the link. About $13.00. I tried other water bottle holders and they did not work. This one fits on handle bar, seat post, elsewhere. Aluminum. Small, light, solid. Stays tight no...

    Low Inventory offer

    Only is you defer shipping to February. OP has lots of choices. If it were me I would just get the black Flow with original shipping date.

    Low Inventory offer

    Once you buy a bike from them the price does not change. They mean price may vary depending when you order it. I bought a Sport for $1200.00 in May 2020. I bought the Espin Nero on sale for $999.00. Special introductory price. Delivery is expected in next two weeks. Espin is having a...

    Overwhelmed with options-- help me choose

    You have a lot of choices. Based on your height I would eliminate the Ride1up 500 and 700 as the frames are likely too large. My son has a Ride1up 500 and is 5'6" or a little taller and he barely fits. The Espin Sport/Flow frame is smaller (17"). With your height I would get the Flow (the step...

    Espin Nero

    I received same e mail. Looks like we should have them in 2 weeks or so - At least they will be here before Christmas.

    Ordered a Sport and a Flow

    It may be an issue with them getting fedex to pick up some bikes. Fed ex is busy too and behind. We had this issue with another e bike we ordered from Lectric.

    Maybe try e mailing the owner directly, Josh. His e mail is on the web site.

    Ordered a Sport and a Flow

    It usually takes a day for Espin to respond to an email.

    First Time Buyer

    I ordered a Nero also. Waiting for delivery as bikes are stuck in port. I have an Espin Sport and it is a really nice bike. Bike delays in delivery happen often. My two earlier bike orders in 2020 from two different bike companies were both delayed. I have gotten several e mails about the status...

    Has anyone converted Espin Flow to a class 3?

    A lot of companies sometimes have to substitute with equivalent components due to part shortages and need to deliver bikes on time. Ride 1up does the same thing and I heard owner Kevin Duggar in an interview talk about shortages related to Shimano parts, shifters and brakes and why he...

    My Espin Sport

    The Espin bikes are currently having a big sale that ends Monday. Use discount code THANKFUL and get additional $50 off the sale price. So $ 1,050.00 for the Sport with code I think.

    Espin Nero

    Yes I got the same message. I still think it is strange our bikes are stuck on the vessel for three week, but the Espin Sports got delivered. Makes me suspect something else is amiss like some error/difficulty with the paperwork.

    New Owner Have Espin Flow on order

    Good deal. Must be a Thanksgiving sale. Price was $1200.00 this summer. Then recently raised $150.00. Glad you got a good deal. Good components. I have an Espin Sport. Really good bike. They cannot be making much profit at that price.

    Espin Nero

    Ok. The scoop on the Espin bike delay. I e mailed Espin about the delays for the delivery of the Nero. They confirmed that the bikes which arrived at the W Coast Port (probably LA) at the end of October have not yet been unloaded from the boat. Normally imported goods are unloaded from vessels...

    Espin Nero

    Perhaps not customs itself but the port is backed up. They said bikes are still on a boat, not unloaded. I used to work for the Federal government under many administrations, and the current administration is the worst in terms of leadership, morale, efficiency, etc. Even if it is not Customs...

    Espin Nero

    If they cannot get bike through customs at port because customs is backed up it will likely affect other shipments at same port. To me this is evidence of poor management on the part of customs. Lack of leadership at the top, deployment of resources, flexibility, etc.

    Got the Sport and the Flow. The Pros and Cons.

    They use some Chinese components but make bikes in Taiwan. The components are good for my use. Heard they just raised prices some.
