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...

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...

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.

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

Glad you are able to ride again.

Wondering if she would like to try the e bike conversion kit Swytch. Electrek did a review. It is a lightweight hub motor wheel, cadence sensor etc. You can put it on most bikes - many wheel sizes are available. Battery clips on handle bars and comes on and off easily. She could add it to her...

Espin is a small company and advertising and publicity is not their strength. They could do better. Not a big fan of the name "Nesta."

You can change the top speed using the display. The parameter settings are very adjustable, but the settings are not very user friendly in my opinion. See the Sport manual on the Espin e bike site pp 10-11. Basically, you have to get into parameter settings by double short pressing the power...

I e mailed Espin yesterday and they said they are not ready to take orders yet. Looked today and they are now taking orders for the Nesta. Disappointed they raised the price to be even more than the Sport and Flow.

Search for it, it will come up. www.espinbikes.com/products/nesta-1. Just announced today, I think. I came across it on Espin web site while looking for something else.

Espin is selling its new fat tire folding bike - Espin Nesta. It has some upgrades not always found on folding e bikes. They include 750 watt hub motor, front suspension fork, and hydraulic brakes. Also includes front and rear fenders, racks and lights. Battery is 10.5 ah. Top speed 25 mph. Step...

The sport would fit him. It is a lot of bang for the buck. Has a 17 frame I think. It also comes 95 per cent assembled. You can use my discount code and get $50.00 off. Code ESPINSQUAD-ANZTFK. You may want to check out their website www.espinbikes.com and the Espin ebr forum comments. You can e...

Espin Nero. Twenty six inch fat tires, front suspension fork, 500 watt hub motor, name brand components around $1000 including shipping.

Core 5 seems like it would be good. Be careful that he is tall enough for whatever bike you get. My 5'6"/7" 17 year old is barely tall enough for the Ride1up 500. I do not have a Aventon but they come in different frame sizes. I have an Lectric XP with fat tires which is very adjustable in size...

CKrather, You are in Alexandria. I am in Kensington, MD. If you want, come over and see my cobalt blue Espin sport. You can see our Ride1up 500 too. PM me if you want.

CL = Crazy Lenny's, a WI bike shop. As for tariffs, buy before Jan. 1 when some tariffs on Chinese made bikes kick in, unless they are postponed again. Some manufacturers make their bikes elsewhere as well, eg Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, etc.

I think the Espin Reine meets your requirements. There is an ebr review of the bike. It is mid drive tourqe and cadence sensing, hydraulic brakes, suspension front fork, throttle etc. 14.25 ah battery, 9 speed.Tires 27.5 x 1.95. Comes with lights, rack. Name brand parts for 2K. 55 lbs. Weight...

Do not know why you want to cancel. Looking for a different bike ? I hear from other posts on ebr forum that they have the Espin Reine in stock. Step thru, swept back handle bars, mid drive motor, very responsive, long range. Good review on ebr. FYI.

I just looked. On web site it now has a cancellation policy, like Ride1up. 3 per cent processing fee for cancellation. So maybe $36. So your Sport ordered estimated delivery end of Nov.
