For me, love at first sight. When I saw the gold Shelby, I fell in love and sent a check. The entire process is simple. You order the bike and any options. Eddie makes the process simple.
Augie delivered my bicycle ahead of schedule. It is fully assembled except for the pedals (to simplify storage in his van). The controls on the bicycle are as simple as charging.
This machine is fast. The acceleration from a stop is leisurely, yet it reaches a fast speed. My first ride was around forty miles. It was relatively flat, and I am about 220 lbs. I averaged between speed level two and three, then stayed between 20-30MPH. I got home with about 40% of the battery. My next ride this weekend is about 50 miles.
Thank you Andrew, Eddie, Corey, and the rest.

So, I have had my new bike out 4 times since it arrived. Unfortunately the weather has turned to crap since. Temps hard to get above 60 degrees and misty rain. But every time that I have been out, I have learned a little more about it. It’s hard to wipe the smile off my face. This is Fun!! The feeling brings me back to when I bought a Rupp Hustler mini bike
Back in 1969. (I Will be 69 years old next month) I know we will have a few more good days to ride, and I can’t wait. This is a bright spot in my world of living. Thanx!! I tell everyone that this is the new women in my life . I lost my wife to cancer last April, after 43 years. It fills the void, not completely but helps.Thanx again Eddie, well worth the wait.

So...
Remember watching The Wizard of Oz when it went from black and white to color?
That's what it was like going from my previous electric bike to riding a Roadster Vintage Electric Bike!!!
The wait was long but more than worth it!
My bike was shipped to a shop and final assembly was completed in St Louis Missouri. I was contacted quickly and delivery was set up.
I asked the gentleman on the phone what he thought of it and he gushed over it! He said that the components were outstanding, the craftmanship was Top Notch. He was more than impressed A different gentleman came out and delivered my bike and went over it with me. He reiterated and added that it was incredibly smooth and a delightfully powerful ride.
Eddie was fantastic on the customer support and sales end keeping me informed along the way. I couldn't be happier! Thank you so much Eddie and your entire staff!
To anyone who's on the fence about purchasing a Vintage Electric Bike...
Jump on over to the Happy side👏👏👏

Complete kit with everything. Straight forward install. Height was perfect, seemed too far back for my personal comfort. Ended up taking 2.5 inches off the bar ends. Perfect now. Excellent upgrade.

We initially bought one Tracker only to feel lonely so we purchased another but older model. With the help of the VE Crew we brought it matching standards of our 1st purchase. VE's Customer Service is wonderful, helpful and very good at communicating-they answer the phone when calling! I know this review is several years late but Thank You VE!!
Oh btw, visit the showroom-it's a candy story for enthusiasts.

I became interested in a Vintage e-bike after stumbling upon a picture of one while searching for a sidecar for my Vespa. The bicycle was stunning and reminded me of the single speed cruisers I had in the late 60's. It didn't look like other e-bikes. It looked like a Vintage bicycle. I was hooked.

After pondering the cost of a 72V Vintage, for over a year, I decided to sell the Vespa and purchase a Vintage Scrambler. I received my Scrambler last fall. I now have a number of months of use behind me and am able to, with confidence, give you the review you asked for shortly after the purchase.

As I mentioned, my initial reaction was "This bike is an effing riot!". Nine months later, my reaction is still the same. The Scrambler is not only a work of art, it's an electromechanical beast. I've had a number of European motorcycles and sportscars over the years to satisfy my need for speed and it was my hope that the Scrambler would elicit the same guttural response. It did just that.

During my first week of ownership, I set the speed to three and riding the Scrambler was a blast. Plenty of speed and torque. I wasn't expecting a lot more out of settings four and five but boy was I wrong. This bike flies, at these settings, and will cover ground and terrain at speeds that almost feel uncomfortable. Some, like me, call that thrilling!!

Did I mention that I am 61 years old? I bought the Scrambler to tool around the 55 and over, active adult community I live in and to explore the surrounding areas. The Scrambler has performed flawlessly during these excursions and continues to thrill. The battery life is amazing and charging is quick.

I get compliments on my Vintage Scrambler all of the time, but the best happened the other day while on a rip to the gas station. A fellow came up to me and asked, "Is that an electric bike?".

To most, including myself, this would be an expensive bike. After nine months of riding, I can confidently say that it's worth every penny!!!

Beautiful Classic V E Tee Shirt.
Going to look cool wearing it when I get my new V E Roadster.

Finally got the bike upgrades completed and took my 1st real ride. I’ve ridden a bike down a mountain at over 45mph and this machine matches that wind in your face and chest feeling at full throttle on a flat road! Acceleration and handling at speed is rock solid! This is a motorcycle! Very pleased with the bike, great job Vintage! Time to put on some mileage now!

Vintage Electric = Great Company…!Get a roadster and start riding on cloud…There wasn’t any issue I experienced that wasn’t promptly taken care of…..So if I was you….drop the dough….and get on the go….

Last year I bought a refurbished SoCal, and I had a great time on the trails around New Paltz, NY. Got sidetracked in the summer, but now I am freeing up and riding more this year. I couldn't be happier with this bike. It is strong, fast, and it holds its charge very well with relatively little pedaling. It is apparently turning heads, too. I might have another Scrambler in my future, so I don't have to leave everyone in my group behind. Thanks!

After two years of looking at photos and video reviews of the Vintage Roadster I finally decided to pre-order one, sight unseen. I've never done this before and I was a bit nervous. But Eddie was amazing to deal with and when the Roadster arrived I was blown away. Vintage Bikes have really made something special here. These bikes are pieces of art and they absolutely ROCK! One of the first rides I did I went over thirty miles (with a top speed of 40.1mph) and still had three out of five bars left on the battery! It's so much fun!

And if you're in the northern Colorado area I HIGHLY recommend Al over at Spice Ebikes in Longmont to put your bike together. He's amazing and really cares about the work he does. I feel like not only did I find a great shop to work on my bike but also a new friend.

My one word of advice, other than "do whatever you can to ride one of these bikes," is, once you click that thumb drive, HOLD ON! You're in for the ride of your life! Thanks Vintage!

I've had my 48v Tracker Classic for about 2 months and...I love it! I use it to commute to work, sometimes in a suit and tie, and run little errands around town. I park it inside my office and it's a great conversation piece. Super fun and easy to ride plus it gets a lot of smiles.
The whole experience from start to finish was top notch, the guys and the shop are awesome.
I knew I made the right choice when I was riding home and pulled up next to a tween boy on a Rad. He looked over and said. "Wow, that's cool!"

Now I just need one for my wife!

No matter what kind of day I'm having, every ride puts a huge smile on my face.

The build quality has truly exceeded my expectations, especially after only seeing it online. It's fantastic!

At 77 years old, this bike is just as much fun as my first Triumph.
Thanks to both of you, it's even better than I expected. You know, older individuals typically don’t buy impulsively, but my instincts were correct this time.
I couldn’t be happier with it.

I did take a Uber to Destination Cycle today and drove my bike home. The front fender is right on, the bike is crazy cool. You did what you said would be difficult. You would not believe the reaction I got from people in vehicles passing by, people walking on the street, thumbs up, honking horns In approval , the stares and turning heads as I zip by or they drive by me.
Wow ! Did I say Wow? Golfers on the tee box stopping in their tracks and all four in unison pointing and following with their heads and eyes following the bike. It was crazy cool. I am 73 it’s my first ride on a e-bike. Very stimulating for this brain. I have it in my foyer and that will be its home. I have a 7 car garage but it deserves the best . Love it.

Thanks,
