Wow! That is awesome! I started laughing because when I was early in design phase I had the idea of being the first to offer this. I strapped a drone to the back of my bike to test it, synced the phone to the camera and took off. A drone camera is not reversed so I thought cars were coming the...

Wow, what a beautiful place to ride! Lakes and mountains too? Now you're just rubbing it in. LOL I love that you love your ride! Thanks to all who posted with their stories of why retail was a better fit for them. Good stuff. As a consumer, my experience has always been to compare specs...

I was thinking in terms of following the lead of the automotive industry and have labor intensive work done elsewhere, but final assembly here. Frames could be painted and have the wiring harness installed. Rims could be laced with motor. Batteries in frame, etc. Then a premium service could...

If I could add something: The reason e-bikes are on the list this time is because there were enough consumer complaints to remove about $16 billion from the first list. Because of that, e-bikes were included in the list to replace those products removed. Don't think your voice doesn't matter! If...

Wait. $6,600 AND you have to pay extra for a rack? I had no idea. Rode one at Interbike last year and it was fully equipped. It inspired me to redesign my bikes and add bottom bracket torque sensors. I just couldn't shake the feeling of how nice the ride was... So ultimately it cost me far more...

Thanks Gator. I also appreciate your insights. I got to spend some one-on-one time with the top industry analyst. The US market is on a similar trajectory as the European market, but about 10 years behind. That's what appealed to me - the chance to start a brand with the time to grow slow and...

Caligirlshan, where in Cali do you live? SoCal by chance? I'm going to try to send you a direct message. Good news, bad news. Good news, I'm extending the sale by a week. Bad news, at about 4:30 am. my rep called in tears to tell me there was a delay in my shipment because she tried to do...

Rich, I'm sorry if I came across as saying an LBS is not worth the extra price. It truly is to consumers like you - and there are many. To be honest, you are not the demographic that online sales is targeted towards - at least for my business. It's what allows a happy co-existence between online...

Hi Rich! An e-bike is only as good as the sum of its parts. Comparing a Sondors to a Haibike is a bit like comparing tin foil and steel. You also noted some parts on the Sunseeker were "primitive" compared to Haibike, so not really a fair comparison to determine quality or durability of online...

Thanks Gator. One thing I vow to be is honest about what we have and our perspective on issues. After 30 years in marketing and advertising, I'm on a mission to reestablish hard work, quality and value as the cornerstones to a successful business. I've had my fill of the hype, misleading...

Like over 90% of all e-bikes in the U.S. market, Acey DC E-Bikes are manufactured and assembled in China. This number will change if a tariff is placed on e-bikes from China as we already secured a Taiwan factory to produce our e-bikes if a 25% tariff would go into effect. (The EU just leveled...

On average, the LBS makes 30% off e-bike sales. Online companies save you that amount plus another 5% for distributors. Most online e-bikes are purposefully designed to be plug and play so anyone with a wrench can replace virtually every part. The vast majority of e-bike companies pass the...

Sorry for my exuberance. Just really excited to finally get to this point!

aceydc.com Bottom bracket torque sensor that reads cadence, speed and torque - 3 data points let it sense when you're pressing harder to go up a hill or harder to go faster - and responds accordingly. We're doing a soft launch - first production run is complete, paid and on the way to our...

Acey DC E-Bikes was a work in progress when I last posted in this thread and I'd just like to quickly update that we've launched a temporary website and our first production run is in transit! I'm posting this here because I owe a lot to the wisdom of this forum and the insight I gained through...

I need to amend my recommendation in case anyone else uses this thread in the near future. Bike Flights only ships class 1 e-bikes. Instead, use shipbikes.com. Heavy. Large. Batteries. All good. If it rejects your e-bike because of weight, call them. The weight limitation can be lifted if the...

Thank you to all for your support and to those who were able to come by and brave the horrible weather to ride in the wind tunnel, aka, my neighborhood. Thank you also for your insights and especially the kind words. The most common comment (after how cute our Aussiedoodle is) concerned the...

*-* This is NOT a sales or marketing event. It is strictly for product/marketing research. *-* Do you live in the Costa Mesa, CA area and have an hour or two to relax, unwind and enjoy a fun ride between now and March 25th? I need riders to take four new models of e-bikes for a scenic spin in...
