The first bike arrived damaged and unusable. They refused to honor their return policy, insisting that I either repair it myself (they sent me a link to a YouTube video wtf) or bring it to a mechanic at my own risk. Suffice to say, I opened a credit card dispute and am still fighting to retain my credit.
The second bike hadn't been shipped when the issues with the first began, so I requested a cancellation, which they confirmed. Then they shipped it anyway. I refused the delivery. It arrived at their facility 2 weeks ago and I still haven't received a refund. Another dispute was opened and I'm having to deal with that now.
Edit: just checked and the first dispute was finally resolved in my favor just this morning. Now on to the second dispute…
I ordered one of the Able bikes in the last deal. About three weeks went by between the time of the order and when I realized I hadn't received the bike. Meanwhile, they spammed the heck out of my email account with other "promotions". I emailed the general customer service email address demanding they provide me an update. No response. About another week goes by and I get a "your order shipped" email notification. Great! Fantastic! Except that a few hours after receiving that email, I got a retraction saying they had made a mistake and my order hadn't shipped.
I emailed them to demand cancellation of the order based on the long wait and my spidey senses telling me something was off. I actually got a response within a few hours that acknowledged my request and told me the order would be cancelled. Guess what? The next day, Mendham shipped the bike. Geez. When I got the shipment notification, I started checking the tracking and noticed it took them more than a day to actually ship the bike (they just issued tracking by creating a shipping label). In the interim, I again emailed them about cancellation and warned them not to ship. No response. The bike arrived and box and interior parts were beat to hell. I put in a dispute with my credit card company, who immediately issued a confirmation of successful dispute, a sign they know what Mendham is up to. I tried several more times to demand they take the bike back. They finally responded on the third email and asked for a huge list of items. I took the bike to a charity that fixes up bikes and gives to kids in need. I'll just rely on my CC underwriter.
Please save yourself from the same headaches and from having to write an equally painful testimonial on SD by just skipping this "deal". It's not a deal and if you research online, you find the bikes are junk anyways.

It looks like my order shipped from FLORENCE, SC -- I'm assuming from South Carolina. Is that where everyone else is seeing for their orders?

I requested our return shipping labels have the proper lithium signage. Also I asked how they would like me to drain the packs down to the correct charge level. I was told not to worry about anything and just put the bikes back in the old nearly falling apart boxes...

Also, I do feel that the reason, one of them had a front fork out of alignment may be shipping damage since the front fork lays flat on the bottom of cardboard without any foam/support. If it isn't handled gently, just the sheer weight could make it go out of alignment.
I am also surprised that there is no instruction on the assembly for such an expensive bike if someone wishes to do it themselves instead of going to a shop.
In the process of assembling it. I am almost done although I feel the front wheel kind of rubbing against the brake disk. I am hoping that i have assembled the front brake caliper right since it was mostly trial and error although its firmly attached(photo attached). Can someone who received their post a photo of their front caliper to see if I have the right assembly.

My first bike arrived today. Box was trashed. Fork had punched through the box. Broken rear reflector, but only a few minor scuffs mostly on the fork. Pretty surprising that it survived with such minor damage. Box appeared to be original but may have been previously opened. It was strapped up with box bands.
Inside, the bike had foam and cardboard with zip ties. You can tell the bike had been sitting around for years with the dust on the box and the condition of the interior packaging.
Bike went together without any issue. The battery, however, came completely dead. It's on the charger now. We'll see if it wakes up and is healthy once it comes off the charger.

I'm also having some problems with the fork, it's misaligned and the front rotor ends up rubbing against the spot where you normally mount the caliber. Some things I've noticed, front rotor is 180mm, rear rotor is 160mm. The chain might be a KMC X-series chain which is a step up from the usual Z-series.
But my main issue is that I can't put the front wheel on without it rubbing against the fork's caliper mount.
