Looks like they finally put out an update on shipping.

It says it's from 2/12 but I don't think it's been a week since I looked last.

I've only been paying attention to the Grey Flow, but it looks like they lumped everyone previously in the "mid Jan" group into a new combined "mid late Feb" group.

So at least on the Grey Flow looks like they're about a month initial estimates, though knock on wood it's just because they hit pause as they knew the 21 was coming and now they'll start flying out the doors.

Did you get a shipping notice yet? I'm thinking it will be more like early March when people start to get theirs at the earliest.

 

[vita10gy]

Nope. I've heard nothing from them beyond marketing emails except for the one I assume many people got about being upgraded to the 2021 model.

Edit: I should note though that when I ordered I was aware my estimate was "Mid february", and even that was "shipped" not "In your garage", so really today is the first day they're "late" on anything, even if it wasn't pretty clear it was an estimate. I'm not "upset", just in case that's the implication, though SOME heads up on what's happening would be cool. It took them until mid Feb to change a page telling people who ordered at the end of 2020 that their bikes would go out in January.

 

[vita10gy]

Welp, it's officially not the "end of February", let alone "mid" anymore. Has anyone who ordered a Sport or Flow after 11/26 gotten a shipment notification yet?

 

[wabaseballfamily]

I read that the bikes are in Customs at the moment. I'm thinking it's more like mid to the ending of March till people start receiving them now.

Where'd you see that? It would be cool if the company was just upfront about these things. Maybe they should have some kind of page on their website for order status updates, or even a blog for more details about the goings on. /s

I'm still not "upset" per se, but they updated that status page in mid Feb to say they'd start going out in mid Feb. Seems like they'd have to have been pretty confident in that timeline. Kinda feels like the M.O. of a lot companies these days is "tell em what they want to hear now, apologize later".

Agree with you!

I contacted Espin and they said they're hoping to get the shipment this week and start shipping next week.

We shall see. Thanks for the update!

 

[vita10gy]

Anyone have their bikes shipped this week?

 

[wabaseballfamily]

Not us. Still waiting on wife's Flow.

 

[Sigrunr]

No updates as far as shipping on my end. The only saving grace is I had ordered the 2020 models (flow and sport) and they confirmed what we would receive would be the 2021 versions.

This update hit my email inbox this afternoon

The Shipment of Sports and Flows have arrived at our warehouse. We have prepared the packages for shipping and we are just waiting for Fedex to send trucks to pick them up to bring them back to their processing center. Since we are shipping out a large number of bikes all at once, they need to send large freight trucks to pick them up. Fedex has told us they can send trucks by Thursday. Stay tuned for tracking numbers! Additionally, if you live in the Los Angeles Area and wish to come to the warehouse to pick up your bike, please let us know and we can have this arranged. Thank you for your patience during this process. We are nearly there!

Thank you for your post sigrunr and letting us know. Ambrose Bierce defined Patience as a minor form of despair disguised as a virtue. We are all trying to be patient but excited as heck now.

Ordered my Flow on Friday, and Espin told me it would be shipped "mid-March" - which, technically, is today.

I know lots of folks ahead of me in line, just keeping my fingers crossed !

Yeah, we ordered ours in February and at that time it said: "Early-March"...
It's not an issue for us because there's still snow on the ground here and cold, but their estimates seem... optimistic, at best.

 

[vita10gy]

They changed it mid Feb to say "mid to late Feb" for new buyers. Seems like some of these updates stepped over optimistic and into "we basically know this won't happen".

I'm excited about the bike and if it fits my wife the plan is still to order another, but the lack of communication paired with "peeing on my leg and telling me it's raining" when they did has left a bad taste in the mouth.

I did tell them in my reply to their email saying shipping in mid-March that mid- March is now....
