Scam or not has anyone bought a ebike from there

I found that site when I was looking into purchasing an e-bike. I could not find any reviews about it. Clicking on "contact us" provides an address in Los Angeles, but clicking on "returns policy" sends you to a completely different site with an address in the U.K. They seemingly stock every major brand on the planet, and the prices to-good-to-be-true. No way would I risk it.

I reached out to a few of the bike brands and they reported them also I'm looking to buy my first ebike and not break the bank I narrowed it down to 2 juiced ccs or flx do you have any input

jj25-I would be a little careful flx. There was someone that did a couple of videos on their bikes when new and 1 year later and he did not have a very impressive report regarding quality and durability. Juiced may be a better choice IMHO! Good Luck!

I assume you mean the Crosscurrent S and Roadster? Those look like pretty good bang-for-the-buck bikes to me. I notice the FLX only comes in one frame size, so unless you are "average" it may not fit you. Juiced is a much bigger company too, which might be important down the road with regards to warranty and support.

Yes, I agree, too-good-to be true ie: Trek Super Commuter+ 8S $3,499.30!! Everywhere else this is usually @ retail price of $5000.00 US.

Thanks for the input I really appreciate it

If you see a website like that, and the thought of 'is it a scam' or 'is it too good to be true' even barely passes your mind, you really have your answer right there. Buying on-line is often fraught with risks unless its a major player like Amazon, but buying an ebike on-line is rarely ever a good idea, and one that advertises prices that seem too good to be true, is asking for real trouble.
