Run don't walk. Unless you want to be your own LBS. These direct bikes can be great IF you understand what you just committed to. Reviews? More often than not someone with one eBike experience trying to confirm their choice was the best choice.
I had to wait 4 months for my Specter S to arrive but that was due to the cargo ships sitting idle off the CA coast. I'm not saying it's the best choice out there but I've been happy with the bike with almost 1000 off road miles on it. I wrote something about my bike yesterday on the EBR Eunorau forum, mostly because of the lack of reviews.
I wrote about my Specter S on EBR back in January, simply because of the lack of information out there. It's now March but there's still no new reviews, YouTube videos, or user experiences about the 2023 Specter S that I can find. Eunorau, as of today, still has some photos on their website of the original Specter S from 2021!
Well, the video reviewers are paid by the company so you can take that info with a grain of salt. Buying from them is like buying a bike via Alibaba with a local warehouse in Las Vegas, good prices, some product compromises, language and cultural cha
Because the three video reviewers are all sponsored, someone told me Mikey is paid by the company to do videos, bolton is a reseller it's a $4,000 bike from a company who basically is Alibaba with a Us warehouse, same customer service experience you get from buying from China, same issue with cultural differences and expectations. They prefer to have local bike shops Provide support, there is no post sale support, if you have an issue they will resend you parts and it's up to you to get them installed. With this bike the brakes and front fork, are made by the company. If you look you can buy those parts directly from the company typically front forks are one of the most expensive components, this bike is really overpriced. Source out the individual components, you'll see that this is a very overpriced bike. The standardspector is a better value as they're using better components. If you're going to spend this kind of money on a bike I think you have to go with a known brand, secondary Market or custom build your own. Price point is just way too high, and the reviewers are not to be trusted. They even strategically will make a few critical points to seem like they're being balanced. Hard pass at this price point from this company. Last point look at the accessories and what they're charging for them. Total money grab. There's a guy in the comments on YouTube who talks about his customization of a rad power bike I would sooner do that, dealing with I'm more reputable company who you know it's going to stand behind the product then spend four grand with these guys

First red flag...
Area 13 == Bolton == reseller, sometimes with different names vs the original.

Another rebranded ebike from China. Probably weighs more than 80lbs too
