I heard a rumour that it had been delayed until 2027!

















Only joking.

Must resist ext storia….
The vivid will be great, well good, perhaps fine…
You should at least give it a go….

Where’s that already bruised credit card… another thousand won’t make that much difference

I have a ext storia V3 on my manual and absolutely love it.

I ordered the .1 model, but still I'm tempted to put an EXT on my dyf-E when it finally arrives.

I was told by Atherton they aren't selling to the US because they don't have after purchase service network set up in the US. Maybe next year is what I was told.

They told me Avinox won’t allow them to sale to US this year and are trying for 27

Are people collecting the first S170E’s this week (today?)

 

[Eckythump]

Will be cool to see them in owners hands and get some reports.

Mine is early week starting the 8th.

 

[Madmountainman]

E-Bike/E-MTB's best bike on test so far this year!

Has yours been knocked back another couple of weeks?

 

[TG73]

Mine was due today/tomorrow. As I'd not had the UPS notification I sent them a message and they've told me it's been knocked back to the 10th June.

I was really looking forward to it and it's starting to take the shine off it a bit now.

 

[Citylad77]

Has yours been knocked back another couple of weeks?

Yes waiting for parts apparently, which I can completely understand . I know some are waiting much longer for some other EMTB Brands.

 

[Swelltiki]

Ffs. That means mine will be mid to end of the month earliest I reckon. It’s definitely starting to wear a little thin

I know what you mean, it is a little frustrating. That’s why grabbed both a PX and PX Pro when my AMflow dealer offered me his first bikes. Just in case there were any delays.

They told me that the bike sent for EMC testing had been held up in customs on its way to the test facility in Spain.
We have to do EMC testing (electro magnetic compatibility) at work and I assume they'll need that test certificate before they can sell it with a CE mark.
Not something Id thought about for an ebike but I guess you can't have it emitting signals that could interfere with garmins, other people's bikes or medical equipment.
Assuming EMC means the same thing

 

[Eckythump]

I take it is the motors etc they are waiting for?
I’ll be pissed if it is other components they are waiting for as I am changing out nearly everything else.

Doubt it's "other components", parts market seems to be flooded in a price war.

 

[Endorium]

I'm glad I cancelled and didn't wait. The continual delays is what I expected. It's such a shame as I really want them to do well, but communication and what's seems to be general chaos at the factory make me worry.

Parts certificates for the bike etc should of been sorted months ago, like everyone else on that new motor. Even worse they have had everyone's money since Feb ish time.

Fingers crossed they eventually get their act together as they are great for mach's economy and provide good jobs

They're flat out wrong most of the time...

I was absolutely astonished that they gave the S W Gen 4 the top award last year. First time rode one, within 5 mins I came to the view that “ it was no Gen 3 “ handling wise.

I know what you mean , communication has not been good on this.

How many bikes you going to have!

 

[Hol47]

I've sent them a few emails over last couple of weeks asking for an update and if the date previously communicated is still on track. Not heard anything back. Very poor considering they've had our cash since February.

 

[Citylad77]

I need 2 here in UK, one for me and my wife and I leave one over in Spain to use while I am over there.

Tbh, they have been completely transparent when ever I have rang them for an update, but my point is having paid in full upfront months ago I should not have to chase.

ah i remember you saying this in a previous thread. I thought you had bought 2 amflows to keep you tied over until the atherton came!

They haven't communicated any further delays so I'm still working on the assumption I'll be getting the bike next week...

 

[ericandrew]

Mine has been knocked back a couple of times, due to collect in a couple of weeks, assuming no further delays.

Annoyingly, we've just come back from a biking trip that I was hoping (maybe not expecting) to have the bike for, and coming back from surgery I ended up hiring a ebike for a few days as the fitness just isn't there for me at the moment.

I've got loads on over the next few weeks before going to the Alps, so no chance I'll build up lots of fitness before then, and an ebike will make life a lot easier, if its not ready for then I might get quite upset

Just spoke to them. Bike is delayed and they can't give a date on when it will be ready. Considering other bikes now.

Shambles. Did they give a reason for the delay?

Nope. Said they will call me later. Won't hold my breath
