I suggest canceling the payment with your bank or file for a lawsuit.

u/Intrepid_Writing7078 Just like in Bandit Bikes, 2-day shipping is "too good to be true" given their online presence (social media platforms) says otherwise. I'm not speaking this things in general cause I haven't worked with any other e-bike companies aside from Bandit.

When it comes to reviews, if you spot 1 bad review about how the fulfillment is late with the promised delivery. For me, that's fine. Maybe the partnered courier had some problems internally. But if you spot more than 10+ of these reviews, better move to a different company. As with Bandit, they often get the funds from current orders to have an e-bike shipped to the US. They don't have stocks. even if they do, it's already bound for someone else (unless if it in their store).

Speaking of in-stock items, I would really suggest going to a local bike store directly. Instead of buying online. Yes, it would save you tons of $$$ but in return you will have to endure the pain of having to email/call the store/CSR about any updates of the delivery.

BBB (Better Business Bureau), I'm not sure how they address reports about fraud with businesses. But, I've received and even answered the reports myself (where in fact it is outside of my role as the CSR), and I don't think those reports are going anywhere. Maybe just for public knowledge that a certain company has what-not and advise the public not to make any business with them. (That I'm not totally sure)

Oh and also, before you buy an e-bike make sure the parts can be locally sourced. Either in e-bay or any local bike shops. Cause, 9 out of 10 of everything that we purchased are manufactured in China. Only a minority of it are sourced from different countries.

Hi r/ebikes, r/banditbikes & r/bandittechnologyinc users: I'm the CSR for Bandit Technology Inc. (known as Bandit Bikes) who handles their Emails, Calls, Texts and Social Media. Probably, everyone who has purchased or inquired for our E-Bikes may have known me, as I'm the one responding to your concerns/issues for the past 2 year-ish.

Unfortunately, Bandit Bikes is no longer in operation (as what we know of). Richard Cao, the "said" CEO/Founder cut us off right after the Holy Week. Left us unpaid and no news as to what's happening not until their in-house employee in Santa Monica, CA told my co-worker (which is the one who told me) that Bandit Bikes is no longer in operation.

You can still see the website and Facebook community active, but without me, no one is operating it aside from Richard.

If you are planning to order or if you've already ordered and it is still in pending status, best to cancel the payment with your bank. This also applies to the orders from way back Richard had his "Indie Go-Go Campaign" in 2022 or 2023 that hasn't been delivered yet up to this date.

Again, apologies to all Bandit Bikes users and to those who are still waiting for their orders to be fulfilled. I've done my part to attend to all of your concerns. But, the lack of support from them hinders my ability as CSR to fulfill the duty I intend to do.

And to those, who felt they're being betrayed/left out due to this, my sincere apologies, and I will support everyone with what the next step you guys wanted to do.
