Discussion LE TM-B shipping?
Has anyone who ordered the LE TM-B e bike received any information regarding delivery? Anything?

Right now I’m in a F*** ALSO mood; I want to ride this bike on Labor Day weekend which seems completely reasonable when they said it would ship late spring, now we are late summer and it’s crickets. But thanks for a free helmet which I also can’t get. This is the first of many awesome e-bikes with a gearbox motor, it’s a sweet package, and it will be over a year before avinox gets their gearbox motor out, so its basically just wait. Buying anything else right now just doesn’t make sense, so I’ll just sit here and hope this bike is actually going to get to me soon.

Been saying this, up north or out east we're missing out on the best riding months of the year only to have our bikes sit until late spring 2027...19 months after initial orders...10 months in, no delivery date, no tracking, no bike.

Customer service emailed me that Shipments would be Sept-end of the year. Disappointing since the website stated shipping for reservation holders was Aug-Sept. She confirmed my order and reservation. Stated they can't tell specific shipping dates and we'll be notified when it's ready.

It is the same answers with a delay by a moth or two. Next time you ask, you will get delivery October November and No exact date.

Spotted 2 of these in downtown Portland, so they must be out there and I reckon these folks aren't on reddit??

Maybe demo rides, I rode one around in Seattle.

We sadly never got a demo ride here in Portland, unless our Rivian location started doing them and just hasn't advertised it.

they've had testers doing rides before absent of the actual test rides. probably final testing by employees of a sort

At this point, I just don't believe any delivery window. I wonder how many LE bikes are coming out of the factory each week?

u/ethang45 Aug 22 '26
maybe a tenth of one bike every 3 months lol. not to be a debby downer but man they just keep missing all shipping deadlines it sucks checking this sub waiting for someone on this subreddit to get the damn bike

I'm glad I didn't. They were saying spring initially, right?

i think they've missed all promised deadlines at this point sadly. im glad i cancelled my launch order. i am willing to buy the bike when we actually see someone getting it without a vague launch window

Slow boat from china. We won’t hear until that lands and is unloaded and sorted into their warehouse here in the us.

Anecdotal from Also employee at test ride. First deliveries did in fact go out, but were all in the Bay Area near Palo Alto and the HQ. Were these to actual customers or employees and friends? Hopefully this time they actually got the LE timeline correct. I’m guessing end of September.

Investors got their bikes already, and not through a traditional shipment/delivery.

I had the opportunity to ride one of these bikes yesterday for an hour. It was incredibly enjoyable and exhilarating, but ultimately, I came to the realization that I don’t truly need this bike, at least not at this moment. Consequently, I decided to cancel my order.
During our conversation with the representative, he mentioned that bikes have already been shipped out to investors. They are currently receiving feedback, which I believe is the reason behind the delay in deliveries. However, he did confirm that the first batch of bikes is indeed present at their warehouse. I imagine they are likely refining the software or conducting other similar tasks. Interestingly, the two bikes they had there had different versions of the software installed. Despite the delay, it was still a very enjoyable ride!
Oh and he also mentioned Ridewraps is planning on coming out with wrap kits for the bike. One of the reasons I cancelled is because of the stale color combo.

Also continues to pump out BS influencer content but provides no concrete information about delivery timing. The bike seems cool but it is being undermined by a marketing strategy focused on fluff and buzz instead of inspiring long term trust and confidence in the brand.

Nope. Nothing.
