I purchased a Macargi 7 speed and it arrived without a scratch on it. The whole transaction is a 5 all the way. Required vary little assembly.
Thanks again Tom and motoredbikes.com for asking.

There shipping is slow. I ordered parts from sbp, jnmotors, dax and bikeberry all on the same day and within the same hour. sbp ,jnmotors and dax all arrived on the same day (3 days later) i am still waiting for my bikeberry order, its been 6 days now. theres no tracking number to check on so no way to tell when its going to arrive. compared to the others i think they suck.

My experience with Bikeberry.com. 4 stroke kit
This time around I did some research and asked a lot of questions before the buy
(I did not do that with Ebay's boygofast and lived to regret it)

I called and emailed them several times with before the purchase questions.
There email answering could be a little quicker but I did get all my emailed questions answered with in 72 hours.
Phone questions answer right away.

After receiving the kit there was 2 small problems witch were fixed within a week it only took a week because of shipping and the week end.
1st was the kit did not have the right chain tensioner, the kit was to come with a tensioner with a bearing, the 1 they sent was without a bearing
2ed was the Carburetor was pouring out gas as soon as you would turn on the gas come to find out the float pin was missing .
BB replaced the Chain Tensioner( I did have to send the a picture of the tensioner I got) , and instead of just replacing the pin they replaced the entire carburetor.

Once I got the new parts I was able to try the engine, I could not get the engine to start regardless of what I did BB spent 2hours with me, and finally got it started.( I had to remove the carb and turn it up to drain the old gas out of the engine itself that fixed it)
I have had it around a month and I can say it is a great kit, well worth the $350.00 I spent.
The kit came 99% complete, the only thing I had to replace was the peddles, the kit comes with a 3 piece crank witch has 9/16" peddles my Schwinn came with a 1 piece crank witch comes with 1/2" peddles.
Over all I can say Bikeberry.com hasgreat kits and great customer service and knowledgeable helpful people, the next kit I get will come from BikeBerry.com.

took over a month to ship my sprocket adapter (placed January 27, shipped March 6). they're placing the blame on manic mechanic or whatever machine shop he uses, and I'm inclined to believe them considering how responsive customer service is.

I knew I ordered a backordered part but was given a 2 week shipping estimate. When I saw that it hadn't shipped yet towards the end of the quoted week I emailed them asking what was up and received a response the next morning explaining the situation and saying something to the effect that it would hopefully be in by the next week. Rinse and repeat for the past month.

I'm just hoping that when the package gets here there's an extra sticker to make up for it.

After talking with Dan Buchanan Sr. from HD Lightning cdi about how my cdi didn't work at low rpms ie. not sparking for starting or idling, he gave every excuse that it wasn't his cdi. Changed the mag, coil, rewired, nothing. slapped a stock one on, fired right up! He said I had ONE day to send it to him! 2 months old! I got back to him bout a week later on FB asking his address to send the cdi back for testing......HE BLOCKED ME!!! LOL! Talk about fine customer service! So a couple months later, I call Bikeberry up to see what they could do.(got it from them on sale) It was way past warranty, and they said ship it.....I did and it came back as a BAD CDI. Bikeberry just sent a new one to me! Thanks BIKEBERRY!!!! Great customer service! And for Dan, his son, and his way of business, very poor!!! Let it be heard!!!

Yeah, Dan sure is proud of his product. It's a brilliant thing when it works but he's way too up his own ass to be in this business.

I recently purchased a jackshaft kit from Bikeberry, The kit arrived promptly but was missing assembly instructions. After considerable effort on my part to arrange for them to email me a copy I found out after struggling to find the parts described in the manual that this was not the correct manual at all. It seems they sent a copy of a competitors manual. Why? Because they don't have a manual for their product. After several attempts to assemble this kit through trial and error I was able to get it close. Bikeberry is one of the most incompetent companies, staffed by some of the most incompetent people I have ever dealt with. I am amazed that they actually are in business. Oh and forget about doing anything but a 5 star review on their web page, they wont print any of their customers negative feedback. I write my reviews to protect others from falling victims to companies like Bikeberry. Avoid these guys is my strong suggestion.

Bikeberry sent me a bike that worked for 2 days. I worked for hours. they sent me many parts that didn't fix the bike. at last hope I decided to ask for a refund, they decided to look at it as an opportunity to tell me my warranty is out of date now. my bike was broken on week 2. They knew that the bike was broken by that time. They spent the entire summer sending me useless parts that didn't fix what I needed it to. I want my 300 dollars back. Support ignores any messages from me and just avoid my situation all together.

66cc Flying Horse kit for 150$ off amazon was shipped fast and works fine. No real issues with them. I suppose dealing with vendors through amazon or ebay is a preferred method as there is support in case things hit the fan.

If you don't enjoy a bit of minor mechanical engineering and tinkering, you might not like building these motorized bikes. In all fairness, what you are getting in engineering vs fun is well worth the little bit of cash you are forking over.

My experience is as follows: I ordered a 66 cc silver engine and a Micargi Huntington Beach Cruiser. The engine got here in a week. Another part, gas tank bracket, came a week later. My bike took a total of 3 weeks to arrive. Upon opening the box housing the Beach Cruiser, it was love at first sight......very nicely finished and wrapped with care. There was a small ding on the top of the rear fender which I chalked off to experience. The motor came USPS and the bike came Fedex of which the folks there and nothing special and seem to be more worried about where they are going than where the are.

The video was okay and I had to roll through and repeat a number of scenes which needed to be cleared up. I was lucky to have my wife help me as she is a better engineer than I. We put the rear sprocket on three times after taking it off as it did not align exactly in the orifice as my wife is a perfectionist. We found that it did not matter if the big hole in the rear sprocket didn't line up perfectly.

As my wife is great company, we had a grand time figuring out the process. Whomever said this endeavor would only take about 3 hours was full of bombast and self aggrandizement as it took us a heck of a lot longer than that. As a consequence of being an old retired dude, this did not concern us.

We laughed at the Charlie Chaplin manner in which the mechanic in the video hammered out the gas tank holding brackets and then re-bent them with a pair of pliers in order to secure a fit. We found that I would later employ this manner of fabrication to my bike.

One should note that due to the downward curvature at the rear of the horizontal supporting bar, the rear u bolt of the gas tank would not secure correctly as it was much too high. Also the pet cock (gas on/off switch) tightened all the way so that it stopped on the inside of the bike rather than the outside which created a snafu. I had to bolt a piece of plywood on the rear of the gas tank in order to elevate it enough so that the petcock would function and not jam up on the horizontal bar which also caused it to leak significantly. All told, after making a few adjustments we are now on the street and having a grand time.

In Utah, where I reside, a motorized bicycle does not require a licensed driver, does not require a title, registration, nor insurance. I have been having a ball knowing that I am screwing the government out of these funds. Also, it allows me to go just about anywhere in town at about the same time element as a full sized auto. I will be getting another “project” in the near future.
