    DOST IS NOW IN RECEIVERSHIP

    The frame is designed and built around the battery. The Panasonic battery is available online. The only proprietary part is the frame. It’s indeed a forum, but your reply had little to no relation to the topic (Dost in receivership) other than for you to share your photos and imply that you...

    DOST IS NOW IN RECEIVERSHIP

    Why reply if you obviously know nothing about Dōst Bikes. None of their parts other than the frame are proprietary and everything is easily replaced. They use Bafang Motors, Schwalbe Tires, KMC Chains, Gates Belts, Tektro Brakes, Shimano Derailleurs, Panasonic Batteries, Enviolo Hubs, etc.

    DŌST as common thieves?

    Quite doubtful. Pushing dates out was a known tactic they used with many of their paying customers as well as promising credits that never appeared if you decided to cancel once they missed the dates. They behaved like thieves and common criminals.

    DŌST as common thieves?

    I've owned one of their bikes for 3 years and have generally been happy with the original purchase. What I can't believe is that the Dost website is still taking orders after all the criminal behavior they've exhibited recently with so many folks. No communication or good-faith attempt to...

    I've owned one of their bikes for 3 years and have generally been happy with the original purchase as it's a good e-bike. What I can't believe is that the Dost website is still taking orders after all the criminal behavior they've exhibited recently with so many folks. They owe me money on a...

    Don’t do Dost

    Someone visited their location and took a photo. Quite sadly it looks like they are closing down. No communication whatsoever to the many folks that are still owed money, back-ordered bikes and parts.

    Regrettable

    It appears Dost has quietly gone out of business in Canada. Many like myself are waiting for accessories or bikes and are not getting replies or responses from the company. Their office is no longer staffed and the Better Business Bureau reports that the company did not respond to them either...

    Tern NBD

    Visited the Tern Booth at Philly Bike Expo 2022 this weekend and got a first look at the new NBD S5i (Blue) and S8i (Red). First impressions: Very low step and very easy to mount. High quality parts and sturdy. The Andros Stem is very adjustable. Being able to fold down to get in an automobile...

    Dōst CVT Models - Enviolo Hub & Gates Carbon Belt

    You are looking at the Canadian website, go to the U.S. website. For Canada, the e-bike ships configured to 500 watts for 20 mph out of the box, but can be configured back to 750 watts and 28 mph using the display controller. They use the same 750 watt motor.

    Dōst CVT Models - Enviolo Hub & Gates Carbon Belt

    Not true, the BBS02 Bafang motor used in their e-bikes is 750W. They have finally begun delivering their CVT models after almost a year. They have their chain models in stock as well.

    Tern NBD

    New ultra low-step e-bike from Tern that will cater to newer riders / shorter riders. Thoughts? Coming in 2023, I'm considering it as a 2nd bike to be used by my wife, my guests and perhaps for myself as well since I'm in my 60s and dealing with arthritis and back, leg and knee injuries.

    Dōst CVT Models - Enviolo Hub & Gates Carbon Belt

    Anyone here still waiting on these bikes? They were announced a year ago (09/29/2021) and reportedly because of supply chain and shipping issues they have not been delivered to customers. What other CVT alternatives are there? Are other suppliers that offer CVT models such as Riese & Mūller...
