We're itching to get bikes out worldwide. We hope to have that capability sooner rather than later. The customs and insurance headaches are a lot for a small company like us, but we'll get you a bike as soon as we can.
The Delfast looks like a super cool bike! I'd personally love to ride it (this is Austin, by the way). It is a lot different than the Chimera, though. So you should make your decision by figuring out what you need from an ebike. Here are some notable contrasts: - The Delfast goes a lot further on a single charge than the Chimera (up to 200 miles vs up to ~30miles). So if you need to motor for long distances on a single charge, the Delfast certainly has us beat. - The Delfast has a substantially higher top speed than our bike (50mph vs 35mph). So if you need to travel at near highway speeds, the Delfast is the obvious choice. - The Delfast is full suspension. The Chimera is rigid. So if you're the sort of rider who prefers a sit-and-throttle riding position, the Delfast is probably going to be more comfortable. - The Delfast weighs a lot more than the Chimera (~154lbs vs ~35lbs). So if you need to take your ebike up stairs, on the train, toss it into a hatchback, or attempt any trick riding, the Chimera is the bike to get. - The Delfast is technically a "bicycle". But I doubt that it's practical to pedal a 154lb bike without engaging the motor. The Chimera, on the other hand, can be pedaled just about as easily as any other bicycle without ever engaging the motor. In fact, when you take the battery off, it is the same weight and about as easy to pedal as other BMX bikes its size. I often ride it this way. - The Delfast looks like it uses mostly proprietary parts that are probably a little hard to find, including a belt drivetrain and super wide tires/rims. That's not true of the Chimera. Aside from the motorization components, the Chimera uses off-the-shelf bicycle parts that can be found in bike shops and a million online retailers; rims, hubs, cranks, chains, bottom bracket, handlebars, forks, etc. So the Chimera is probably going to be a little easier to customize and service. I hope this helps. You're going to get a hellishly cool bike whether you choose the Delfast or the Chimera. It just depends on how you like to ride!
I love these bikes my brother its a pity I live in the UK 😢
