I received the 36V version a year ago. Here's what I posted back then...I'm pretty familiar with bicycles though, and know the simple ebikes well,
"Assembly is easy. Mount the front wheel. Adjust the disks. Pivot the steering tube and latch it. Slip the handlebars thru the stem and lock them down. Attach the front fender. Screw in pedals (the only provided tool was a pedal wrench). Some trivial items were the faux leather grips mounted upside down, and I will have to rotate the controls. Likewise, the LED control is off by 45 degrees. The steerer stem is also off by a bit. When I find my allen wrench set, I'll fix all of that and adjust the brakes. "
I did receive mine with the seat post peeking out of the box. Nothing was amiss though, They also sent the wrong color, but that worked in my favor as we agreed on 10% price correction.
Bike is problem free, although I opened up the controller and didn't re-seal it well, allowing water to get inside. I caught that before it damaged anything. I then upgraded to better controller with LCD, but the old one still works.

My wife's came in with some scratches on the down-tube. It was the 36v 500 step thru 20" fattie. I'm afraid the shipping issues are shipping carrier, not the shipper and not brand specific. Like Harry, the bike has been great and Ecotric adjusted the price for me to cover the cosmetic damage. ( It is unnoticeable now, after I sanded and sprayed the area). If you don't find another bike, don't be afraid to get on the list with Ecotric.
Ya, i really wanted the one that upgraded to the s900 controller and the 48v battery. I don't feel like waiting for a month for one though. I guess that one was not meant to be.

I happened to get lucky and ordered mine through Amazon which came 3 days later. Finished a quick intro review (

Looks like a nice bike also, but double the price of the Ecotric.
yes it is more money. But you get what you pay for. And the big one for me was support. these guys are located right in California. They were quick to answer all my email questions even though they were not open. That right there says a lot about what your getting. has a one year warrantee. And the bike looks awesome! Has Hydraulic brakes, head light tail light, bell, great Kenda Juggernaut Sport, 26 x 4 inches tires. Hidden battery in the front down tube which makes the bike look so good. I am supper stocked to get it. Check out the setup video and how the battery is hidden and can be taken out too. Oh and I like how the cables are hidden in the tubes, just looks much neater.

I commend you ror a nice job on your first video. As there are no 48V 20" Ecotric fatbikes in stock om amazon, may I ask what did they charge?

That 750 looks sweet. You might want to create a thread with a review so there is a reference for others looking at that brand.
I may do that when I receive it. Its pretty new. the bike just got released a few weeks ago for sale. I love how they hid the battery in the frame. Most people wont even know its electric.
