Dont´´t buy at FLK. Bike!
October 27, 2022

Ordered 6 weeks ago. Delivery was planned within 7-14 days. Since there no Bike for me. 3-4 Weeks later I asked about shipping. No valuable Feedback. 1 week later again mails to FLX. No feedback at all. Then a feedback that they have problems with shipping provider / carrier. Now again no feedback at all. Very bad experience. Don´t know if the company still exist or what the matter is. Don´t know what´s next. Started request at Paypal to reverse my order and get money back.

No service response
September 27, 2022

I got a message from a customer satisfaction guy, who asked if I was ok with the bike in spite of late deliveries of both bike and necessary parts. I told him I love the bike and had forgiven them, but had a technical problem which he referred to their support. After a quick initial response I have now been waiting for a week and a half for a reply, which is pretty frustrating as I don't feel safe riding the bike.

Honest review
May 31, 2023

Not sure if I got a lemon but I've had to replace the controller and battery on my Trail SE that only has 2000 miles on it. Brakes, chains and tires, I can understand, but not these expensive components. And having it happen before the front tire even wears out?
The bike has been really fun but I think my next bike will have Bosch components.

Just flat out horrible customer service
October 14, 2022

Had an item marked delivered but wasn't actually shipped. That's not the problem though, it was being ignored for about week until I found that out what I paid almost two thousand dollars for wasn't actually lost in the mail but wasn't even shipped at the moment. Then after I am made aware of this I decided to cancel the order several times before I got a "your bike is on the way!" Notification. I would hate to discover what hell hoops I'd have to jump through if anything was wrong with the actual product.

Poor service
October 30, 2022

My bike only charged once since I bough it. It took weeks for them to get back to me about it and multiple emails from me requesting guidance. Finally, they sent a new battery few weeks ago. It haven't arrived yet. I ordered my bike in April got it by the end of July, rode it just couple times until it stopped working…. And is collecting dust since I can't used it due to the poor customer service and warranty support. My investment was to use it all summer and I couldn't.

Very slow
November 1, 2022

Very slow to respond.
Bought new bike. Took 6 weeks to get.
After only one full charge pedal sensor died.
After four weeks of emailing back and forth and even the emails took more that 4 days for response. I got a part that I had to change myself.
The after sales care is very poor. And my bike is brand new. I wonder what would happen if I was asking for help at the end of warranty period.
Quality of build and assembly is very poor. Cable connection sticks out the back very close to tire and cannot be pushed back into the frame. Prone to dirt from tire and rubbing against back tire. The front and back lights should have been feeding off main battery and come on with bike turning on. But you have to remove and take to your house to charge.
I am not happy.

Too Involved, Too Soon
October 23, 2022

I have maybe 30 miles on this bike - it is a road bike and I prefer my Spincity Commuter for my daily rider. I started receiving an Error 30 on the display when it was out of warranty. Replacing the display for $90 did not resolve the error. Replacing the controller for $70 did. I am very competent and comfortable doing maintenance on all three of my bikes, including the hydraulic disc brakes, and the change out proved far more difficult than the tutorial video would lead one to believe.

While it is a very sleek and smooth operating bike, I would NOT buy it again. There are more robust stealth ebikes from more experienced builders with better warranties available. Get one of those.

It's a young company so I accept, that not all works like it should. I received my invoice which had so many mistakes and did not fit with what I ordered. I wrote customer support, received a second and third invoice, still part of the invoice is wrong. Customer support did not respond one to my E-Mails and contact via Online Form. Haven't heard back from them at all and of course also no bike yet.

Had To Ask Twice To Send Order

Placed order on Oct 20,2020, received tracking number, package never delivered. Inquired about order, was told the warehouse would send order out soon. Asked one more time, before they finally sent what I paid for.

Bait and Switch
February 22, 2022

Took the money for one product, never delivered, then stated ordered product was no longer available but informed me they would ship an "upgraded" bicycle that looks like a cheapened version of the original.

Babymaker pro( Gates belt drive, hydraulic brakes, clean looks, decent tires) is a pleasure to ride. I cannot imagine where the negative reviews are coming from. It is a great bike if you want to improve your posture while biking, learn the importance of cadence while cycling long distances. This bike improves your ride quality and distance without making you horribly exhausted at the end of the ride. At assist level 1 -2 you can squeeze 50-70 miles per full charge. It is super quiet and needs no care except dusting with a cloth. Try it, ride it for 100 miles before writing a review.It is priced to sell. Great job FLX!

Good morning Narayanachar M.,

We try our best to get the most out of a single charge, with the use of the lithium battery hidden in the frame. We had not considered the cadence for distance cycling, that is a useful tip for those just starting out and some seasoned riders. If you have any questions regarding your Babymaker our support team is happy to help.

Ride safe!

Great Company to Work With!
December 11, 2021

I've had no problems at all in my dealings with FLX. They are a dedicated, hard-working group and are doing their best under extremely difficult market conditions. I received my bike - a bit later than estimated - but they were very transparent regarding the situation and I was happy to receive the regular updates. My bike arrived safe & sound, was relatively easy to put together, and performs like a champ! I would not hesitate to purchase from them again.

Couldn't be happier
August 19, 2022

The FLX team was so helpful and patient with me as I shopped around. Once I knew I wanted the Gladiator 2.0, they worked tremendously fast to get one ready for me. 10/10 would work / buy from them again

Babymaker 2
July 16, 2022

I did quite a bit of research and decided on this bike because of design. Received it well packaged and in excellent shape. Installed and put together in about 30 minutes. I've only had a couple weeks but so far very pleased.

Terrible company
March 15, 2021

Ordered a bike chain in August for an e bike that I purchased from the company. Since I live in Michigan I didn't install the chain until March due to season. Now the chain doesn't fit and they won't allow me to return or exchange the chain the chain cost me $40 and after looking at the exact same chain on Amazon only cost $15. This is not the first time that I've been screwed by this company with bad business practices. My buddy built an ebike which is far more superior than the one I bought from them for far more money. FLX can suck a lemon

Worth The Wait
March 3, 2021

It was definitely worth waiting patiently for both our orders. Our first ride on the Babymakers was a delight and the smiles haven't left our faces.

I was anxious about the process a few times but when I emailed I got a response same day from Sarah to put my mind at ease. A few weeks later the bikes showed up and now the wife and I are "back in the saddle again."

Thank you Sarah, Rob and all at team FLX

Leap of faith worth it so far

Love the bike! Pre-ordered during the sale period and waited about 2 months for shipping. Received prompt and helpful responses from Marc about questions. A little more detail on the specifications online would be great.

Forever
May 13, 2022

Got the bike last week and within an hour I had it all together with a few tweaks. I took it on a 6 mile ride and boy what a ride. I didn't have to work hard at all. I am over 85 years old and this thing has really brought the joy back in my riding. Alex

Ive owned the FLX roadster for three years now and have had no issues! FLX even sent me a new charger when mine didnt appear to be working. I also bought the Miles Board(small carbon fiber electric skateboard) from the same team, and when my remote wasnt working they shipped me another one and just asked for mine back to inspect it.
