Folks, everyone calm down and stop jumping to conclusions that everyone who is a frustrated ebike buyer is a Troll.
Based on information about shipping on the first round of RipCurrent S bikes, a new design, pre-orders made before the March first production run were delayed by the batteries (which they have manufactured for them.) Here's what Tora Harris wrote on March 26, 2018:
"We apologize for the delay on getting the
RipCurrent S's out. The bikes have arrived, but we had a delay on some of the
48V/19.2Ah and
52V/21Ah packs. Also the rear fender clip to stabilize the rear fender on the RCS has just arrived. Some CCS orders with 19.2Ah packs are also effected. At the moment all of the bikes from the first production as well as the battery packs which shipped separately have arrived. The
Cycle Satiator which shipped from Canada have also arrived. We are now doing final inspections, GPS integration and installing the shipping software to the bike’s controller.
Bikes are already shipping and we expect to get ALL the March pre-orders out in the next 2 weeks.
We totally sold out of the first batch and nearly sold out of the next run already. Back at the factory, more bikes are being produced and we are cranking out the bikes as quickly as safely possible to catch up with demand. We have a LOT of units on order, but it takes time before those bikes make it through the pipe to be in stock and ready to go - especially at the high quality level we want them to be at.
This has been a somewhat challenging and complicated product, high performance, high demand, and with a very steep production ramp. This is on top of shipping the
CrossCurrent S which have already ramped up and are now in a good stock position.
Things will be much smoother moving forward. Thank you for your patience. "
So bikes from the first batch are delivered and production on the second round started in late March. This makes delivery time at five WEEKS, not months
@Lenny7118.
And concerning statements made that Juiced Bikes does not keep any inventory on hand
@Joe Pah, that is incorrect. Please take a look at the image towards the bottom of their March 26 Update. There are a lot of bikes in that space and Tora indicates in the above quote that the CrossCurrent S is well stocked.
Tomorrow, when Juiced Bikes is open I will call them to verify about delivery times.
