Scot is RIGHT - Addmotor is a SCAM!
Scott, the previous reviewer, is absolutely correct! This company is a sham with SCAMMERS! They had no problem immediately taking my $2000+ for their hypothetical new (but even now, yet to be released) SPYTAN Etrike that they said would be delivered shortly (that was months ago). After not hearing a peep from ADDMOTOR for weeks, I finally reached out and asked when would I receive my etrike. They said there was a delay that was not their fault, and the new etrike would be delivered mid- to late May. It's now late May, and still no etrike or a single communication from them. So, yesterday, I had to reached out again, find out where's my etrike. Now they say there is ANOTHER delay, and the etrike will not be delivered until mid-to late June. I asked, "Why the continual delays"? You won't believe this... but they actually said the delay was because of the "upgrade" they added to the new etrike - A WOODEN BOARD ON A FRONT BASKET FOR YOUR PET TO RIDE WITH YOU! I am not kidding! They had the audacity to tell me that all these etrikes that have already been purchased in-full MONTHS AGO (mine included) were delayed because the company decided to make this "upgrade". First, I didn't ask for the "upgrade" and do not want the "upgrade". Second, I didn't purchase this etrike with the "upgrade". I want the etrike I purchased. Third, I don't even own a dog that small to ride on my trike, and if I did, I would not think it very safe to do so. Yes, they have pictures of the new "upgraded" SPYTAN etrike on the website with the small pooch and the dog's leash tied to the etrike. Check it out for yourself! Does that really make sense? Would anyone really tie their dog's leash around a bike? Picture it. As an avid pet lover, I don't think there are too many good pet owners that would consider carrying their tiny pooch around on their etrikes on a wooden board with no front. Right, now front side to the basket. We care more about our own and dog's safety. This whole experience has been a debacle! I agree with Scott in that the company's "spokespeople" could be eBots. I used the Chat feature on the website (and have copies of all the "conversations") and the responses are vague, they do not use proper English, and only string you along, I guess, in hopes that you will eventually stop communicating because it is so frustrating. You cannot get an honest, straightforward response from them. Interestingly, they put new pictures on the website supporting their claim of this "upgrade". Do I believe they are doing this? Not a chance. I flat out asked if any of the SPYTANs have been delivered to a single person, and they said no. Maybe the next delay will be caused because of "Upgrade v. 2" which will be a wooden board in the back with an open-backed basket for your grandmother to ride with you, or a cheap plastic windshield to save the rider from bugs! But, I'll bet you it won't be things like needed side mirrors! I've strayed from the main point: Addmotor is untrustworthily, at best. I think they are THIEVES! Imagine all of the interest they are earning on all of the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars they have without producing a single SPYTAN for a customer. They will likely respond to our reviews in the same manner they did to the others that they could not find my order or don't have enough information to help. So, convenient for them. My guess is there are too many of us they've scammed that they need the excuse, and they hope others reading these reviews will think Addmotor is sincere. They are not. What I would like to do is 1) INFORM THE WORLD about this horrible company (that has an "F" rating by the Better Business Bureau which another reviewer pointed out - oh, how I wish I had know that); 2) CONTACT THE CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE and file a complaint, and 3) get together with all of the other people that are still waiting on their etrikes and filed A CLASS-ACTION SUIT AGAINST ADDMOTOR! Is anyone willing to join me in trying to get the word out about this company? Does anyone know a news reporter that would like to carry the story? I'm pleased that a few reviewers had a good experience with Addmotor. Good for you. But, the rest of us are out money, a ride, and planned events with the Addmotor etrike we already bought. Add on all the frustration they caused and are causing, and the waste of time and money of decent, hardworking human beings with better things to do than try to track down where is the brand new etrike we purchased months ago! BUYER BEWARE OF ADDMOTOR! DON'T DO IT!
