When I returned it, it was a pain. They don't pay for the return shipping label, Amazon sends you one where you have to pay for it yourself. I drove to FedEx to have them tell me that, an also, that particular one cannot store batteries (only a few can, even the dedicated FedEx stores) so I couldn't drop it off there. It was a pain, but it gave me time to complain to HeyBike and they sent me a prepaid shipping label. FedEx picked it up. It was a headache, but at this price, I may buy it again and hope it works out this time.
I did ride it a bit before I returned it, it did get up to 20mph and up hills, about 10mph. It was pretty fun. I do like the removable battery aspect of it, can store it inside during winters.
This is a price that you cannot beat. I wanted the Lectric XP 3.0 but at $1000, it's more than what I'm willing to spend for an ebike that doesn't have much utility for me right now.

One other possibility is that the original January delivery date is actually correct, but they marked everything as "shipped" when the order went to the original factory/warehouse in China, and the Amazon system wasn't smart enough to account for creating a UPS label that won't be applied to an actual box until the batch of boxes arrives at a US logistics center from China.
So it seems like some of the possible options are:
A. All orders will get cancelled once someone figures out it was a price mistake.
B. Orders will show up this week/next week as scheduled after ordering*
C. Orders will show up in January, as stated when placing the order*
*Additional factors:
1. Manufacturer might refuse to honor warranty and subsequently get destroyed by massive customer anger and BBB, AG complaints, etc.
2. Bikes may be "counterfeit" (but likely exactly the same product from exactly the same set of Chinese factories, just not "authorized.") This could give the manufacturers an "out" with regard to denying warranties.
2a. Bikes might be totally legit, and the manufacturers are full of hot air and just mad that someone sold a bunch of their products at a loss, even though they already got paid and there's absolutely nothing they can do about it, except whine, and try to retroactively modify warranty terms.
Nailed it

A lot more drama there with an account claiming to be HeyBike saying they never sold these bikes to Amazon and that any price under $500 (including shipping) won't be honored.
There's clearly something going on here. Amazon wouldn't be likely to have a huge error selling stock under "Amazon.com" as official seller unless they already had the stock or had an agreement with HeyBike to sell their inventory.
Still doubt we'll see these bikes unfortunately...
