EU Bikes Clear Customs / Nordic Bikes Arrive / North America Bikes Clear Customs

Hello Backers,

Wow, finally things are going right in terms of Batch 1 Deliveries! The EU Bikes have finally cleared customs and we will have local EU tracking numbers for those that have covered their duty/taxes early next week. Everyone has covered these fees! North America bikes have cleared customs and are waiting for UPS to pick them up from the port which will happen before December 16th. Nordic bikes have cleared customs and are being delivered to our warehouse and will be available for pickup (and of course reshipping in the event pickup not possible) as of Monday December 18th.

It is a wonderful Christmas for our Stark Drive Backers.

Thank you for all of you who believed in us and backed our dream to launch the most affordable and fully featured electric bike in the world.

Batch 2

Its officially under fully production. We have signed an agreement that the bikes must be completed and leave China before the Chinese New Year. Its a much larger batch of bikes this time which makes us happy. We firmly believe that once the first batch is in hands of our Batch 1 backers and being ridden around the world, the word will spread like gangbusters. We want to reduce the time between batches but for this we need a larger volume of backers so that we can hit the minimums our factory requires to get this unbelievable (Some mates refer to it as scam) pricing.

Stark Drive Mini

We have finalized the configuration(s) for Stark Drive mini. Once the prototypes hit Stockholm, we will start with our push to create the best informational/promotional video which we will eventually use to launch on Kickstarter early next year. We have learned a lot of lessons (some the hard way!) about how manufacturing works in china and the delivery times involved. These lessons will help us to build/manufacture/ship Stark Drive Mini in record time, not the year that some of our competitors might make you wait, to receive your rewards.

Sincerely

Oscar
CEO, Stark Drive LLC.
