Look at the trust score. Looks sketchy to me.

Hopefully you used a credit card. I just looked at that site and they're showing the Ancheer bike I purchased for $600 at $294 w/ free shipping. No way that can be right, and the battery specs are all wrong. Mine has a 36V 8AH battery, but they are showing it as a 12.5AH/8AH and there is no such thing.

might need them? You are still optimistic? You must have a folder going with AMEX. LOL

Best case they use someone else's stolen credit card to drop ship you a bike from Biktrix or another merchant while working on a long con. More likely you (or AMEX) will be the victim.
I once ordered something super cheap on eCrater. When I got the item I noticed it was drop shipped and they had purchased at full price from an online retailer, most likely with a stolen credit card. I immediately informed eCrater and my credit card was refunded. I fully expected the online retailer to contact me asking for the item to be returned but nothing ever happened and I basically got the item for free. It was definitely some sort of con as the merchant disappeared soon thereafter, and guessing it's easier for the retailer to just write it off.

Contact Roshan at Biktrix he will get back to very quickly.
I'm pretty sure Biktrix doesn't distribute to other retailers. They are a direct to consumer seller.
Hate to say it but I bet the only way you have a chance at getting this bike is as others have said, they drop ship it using a stolen card.
Good luck!

Definitely scam! Good luck! When it's too good to be true, it usually is.

I would call the CC company right away and file a chargeback. Also ask them to go through all your new transactions. Then ask them to issue you a new card. These guys could have gotten all your info and used your card to order stuff for themselves.
I would hope using Paypal and AMEX will have the online fraud protection they advertise to protect the consumer. That is the main reason for using Paypal. If not, there would be no reason using a third party company for online transactions. Also, AMEX is very aggressive in combating online fraud and siding with the consumer. The website has an 888 number that I'll call and do some investigation.
