False Advertisement and Terrible Customer Service!
I recently had an encounter with WING Bikes that I would not wish upon my worst enemy. I purchased the Freedom-ST bike on Aug 31, 2022, and opted for the assembly service during checkout (by paying an extra $200). The bike arrived on Sep 8, but, to my dismay, they couldn't arrange an assembly professional until Sep 29. This was already a red flag given the premium I paid for the assembly. However, the real issues began in July of this year. In the middle of a ride, the bike shut off after displaying erratic battery levels. The bike would randomly power on and turn off from this point on. After multiple emails with "Billy" from their support team and enduring long waiting periods, they diagnosed the issue as being the controller. Upon replacement (which was a hassle in itself), the problem persisted. Now, here's the kicker: despite raising the issue well within my warranty period, they conveniently stated that my warranty had expired on Aug 31. They ignored the fact that they themselves couldn't even schedule the bike's assembly until almost a month after my order date. Additionally, the warranty claim was initiated within the period, but their inability to address it led to its lapse. Their suggestion? Buy a new battery from their website, on my dime. What was supposed to be a seamless e-bike experience turned into an exhausting ordeal. And while their website touts the idea that any local bike shop can handle their bike repairs, I quickly learned that this is far from the truth. Several bike shops refused to touch it due to the brand not being on their approved list. WING Bike claims to offer "world-class customer service," but my experience was anything but. If you're considering buying from them, I'd strongly advise against it. Save yourself the trouble and the heartache. My advice? Choose an eBike company that's renowned for its exceptional customer service (either through recommendations or your own in-depth research). Many, like myself, initially prioritize technical reviews and the price point when buying an eBike, but when the company doesn't honor the warranty terms and cannot offer competent and timely tech support, you will regret this decision!
