5 years agois this bike one of these Chinese junk crap?
ReplyCourt Rye
5 years agoMost scooters, electric bikes, electric skateboards, drones, video game consoles and even cars are produced in Asia. Some are designed in the US and a very few are custom fabricated here but most are just assembled here. Some of the products are junk but not all, the GigaByke is definitely a value play but it’s not too bad, the warranty is good and the company is based here in the US so support seems to be there along with some spare and upgrade parts :)
ReplySkyler
4 years agoBeing that they only have stores (their stores listed on their website) in the US and in the US only tells me that it is designed primarily in America, and their main headquarters is located in California tells me that it is a US company. Doing a quick google search it is indeed manufactured in China unfortunately.

5 years agoHi, Do you know where i will bye a GigaByke Groove City Commute e-Bike in UK? Thanks
ReplyCourt Rye
5 years agoHi Carlos, great question… I checked their website dealer section and didn’t see anything outside the USA. Maybe a shop here will ship one to you if you pay extra? You could contact the Electric Bicycle Center where I did this review and ask them? Maybe someone else here will know… or you could contact GigaByke directly :)

ReplyCourt Rye
4 years agoHey Benjy! Great question, someone else was asking a similar question about the SEEV-800 so I’ll paraphrase from that reply: I’m pretty sure this is a rain-resistant product… especially given the integrated fenders. I believe it uses a direct drive moto which tends to be durable and long lasting (compared with geared motors and some mid-drives with more sensitivity around the axles). The display and throttle could be a little a bit vulnerable but not any different than other scooter or ebike I’ve reviewed over the years. You could probably rinse the whole thing off after each ride and be fine as long as you don’t spray super hard around the electronics. Most frames are engineered to drain and be weather resistant and work fine as long as you don’t flip them upside down or use high pressure water or air. Here’s a guide I wrote about this topic a while back really focusing on ebikes with some good photos and examples :)

ReplyCourt Rye
4 years agoHmm, I’m not sure Daniel? My experience with the GigaByke was with a brand new one for limited time but the shop that carries them might know. Where did you buy yours from?

4 years agois this bike safe for 12 year old
ReplyCourt Rye
4 years agoHi Pamela! My own opinion is that each person is different and the environment matters. When my Father grew up, young kids were allowed to operate farm equipment and even cars. These days, many young people use kick scooters and electric skateboards. The main difference with the GigaByke Groove is that it’s heavy. If you think your 12 year old can handle it and you live in an environment where there’s private property available or a community that supports young people using vehicles then it could work :)
ReplyRex Deaver
4 years agoI saw in a review on Amazon that the display is in KMH rather than MPH. But it does not appear to be the case in your test. Is that a setting that can be changed, and the bike shop had already made that change for you?
ReplyCourt Rye
4 years agoHi Rex! I’m not sure if that’s because Sam carries a newer version or did something to change it. Give him a ring, perhaps he will have some tips for you… here’s his website: https://electricbicyclecenter.com/

ReplyUnhappy Camper
4 years agoWe purchased two (2) of these bikes over 3 weeks ago. Here’s a list of all the things that have gone wrong with these bikes:
<
p>All in all, as a Gigabyke owner, and with so very FEW reviews online about these bikes, I DO NOT RECOMMEND anyone purchasing these bikes. The customer support that comes with the product is lacking basic customer support and is filled with representatives that firmly believe that there is NO OTHER WAY for something to happen than what THEY BELIEVE will happen (i.e. they BELIEVE that the tire will be an easy fix and will not entertain the thought of it NOT BEING AN EASY FIX especially since we’ve already tried their solutions). Do not take a risk for these bikes. It’s simply not worth it.

3 years agoThanks for sounding off about your experience, it’s always a bummer when I hear about people who bought a bike, scooter, skateboard etc. and had a bad time. It’s a lot of money to spend and while I can’t do much but console here, I appreciate you sharing and maybe helping to guide the company and other potential customers. I hope your next experience is better :(
ReplyEric
3 years agoI read a lot of positive reviews about this bike before buying one a year ago and that was a BIG mistake. The battery that comes with the bike is simply a piece of junk. My daily commute is less than 5 miles and after a couple months of use, I couldn’t even make it back on a full charge. At first I thought I got a defective battery so I got the seller to replace it not once but twice (after many calls), and they all ended up the same. I now have a useless bike sitting in my garage. Forget about trying to pedal it. I am very curious if anyone else has a similar experience.
ReplyCourt Rye
3 years agoBummer, thanks for the feedback Eric! Maybe someone else will chime in. Hopefully since the company is replacing your batteries, they will realize that maybe they should use a different supplier or resolve an issue there.

3 years agoHello, i was planning on buying this for my little sister who is 16 years old, weighs 115, and is 4′ 11″ tall. Do you think she would be able to rife this bike confortably and safely?
Also, if she is too short, does the bike come with seat height adjustment to make it fit her height?
Thank you : )

3 years agoMy bike is defective. it worked for about 5 minutes and then stopped working. I have been going back and forth with the company for literally months to get some sort of resolution, but they have given me the total runaround. They claimed they wanted to help, but did not. We did everything they asked us to do. We check wires and connections, we took the battery apart and checked that it was working properly, we sent videos. Finally, they said that their experts would review the videos and get back to us with a solution. That was weeks ago. They totally stopped communicating. They won’t answer my emails now. They know they sold us a lemon and now they won’t replace it or get it fixed. We are stuck with a very expensive inoperable e-bike. I would highly recommend NOT buying from these folks.

2 years agoMy review removed from Amazon for some reason, so I’m posting here: “My Gigabyke is a little over a year old and out of warranty and almost 2 months waiting for your (Gigabyke) help in fixing my broken chain sprocket… Endless replies of promised help from the company and Bikeberry. Took it to a bike shop and they couldn’t even get a parts list or manual! Terrible customer service. Before you decide to buy one, think twice before you buy from this company! Love my BYKE but won’t buy another!” Sad that they supply no help or info once the warranty ran out! Lots of disappointed reviews all over the web. Local bike shop in Bedford PA fixed it in one day with the parts that I bought! Looking forward to buying a Rad City bike instead.
