Not much.
But why not post genuine deals.
But why not post genuine deals.
First post here.
Ordered 2 STs on November 9th, one (white) should be arriving tonight, though FedEx says it was in SoCal early this morning but on its way. Yeah, right; it's a loooong way from LA to Oregon.
Anyway, the second bike (black) is still "processing." I would imagine black is the color in higher demand.
Haven't touched my road bike for ten years but rode extensively as a kid, and had a good-sized paper route in Arcadia, a SoCal suburb. Looking forward to these bikes. I had actually pulled the trigger on a couple of Amazon "SoHoo" bikes, then was smitten by Lectric and the $950 deal and cancelled the Amazon order. I think this company is going places, with enthusiastic Phoenix employees.
UPDATE:
Now it's Tuesday morning, several days later. The FedEx tracking system now says, "Oops! I meant Thursday the 18th, not Sunday the 14th!"
This is getting interesting. The box went from Phoenix to an LA suburb (Santa Fe Springs), hung around for 12 hours, then went a few miles to another LA suburb (Walnut), then 5 hours later it went to ANOTHER LA suburb (City of Industry). Now it has apparently left City of Industry for who-knows-where on its perilous journey up California's I-5 to Oregon.
I don't know if this is how things normally go, or perhaps it's because of the potentially-dangerous large lithium battery pack. Or maybe a lack of drivers. Still, no big deal, but interesting to watch.
We've come to expect Amazon's "You ordered it two hours ago, now go look on your front porch" delivery timeline for everything. Not the same thing.
By the way I recently bought a large-ish lithium battery for charging my laptop, phones, and such. It's 185 WH (185 watts for one hour, 18 watts for 10 hours, and so forth) and is about the size of a heavy tablet. The airlines generally have a lithium battery restriction of 100WH because if these things catch on fire (any damage at all) they can be near-impossible to put out, and in an airplane at 35,000 feet is a very bad place to have a fire. The Lectric's battery is about 500WH, so treat the pack with some care.
