Hopefully this video can give you a little clarity and transparency into everything ONYX Motorbikes has been dealing with lately.
Jeff is a great asset to the company and all around awesome! He was the rep who helped you out at the front desk at the shop and set people up for test rides at the El Segundo location and on top of that taking time to provide people with information about the company on his own channel!
Jeff is the best!!!
not anymore. they went out of buisness
Unfortunately, this didn’t age well
Yeah he’s definitely the one who ripped us all off
NOTE; LET'S ALL MAKE SURE WE ALL CONTRIBUTE AND DO WHAT WE POSSIBLY CAN TO KEEP ONYX UP AND RUNNING! VERY CRITICAL!🎉😊
Do what Exactly? Give them a $5k donation? He just said that he doesn't even know if the manufacturer is even building the bikes!
@@MadMikeBikes TEAM WORK!AND COMMUNICATION!IF EVERYONE GIVES A DONATION WE MIGHT BE GETTING SOMEWHERE...
Riding this thing around NYC with zero worry of tickets, traffic, battery, or hills, as well as the ability to torch the tunnel under the UN is what freedom feels like. (or as close as we can get) You got to make more. Thank you!
This is a company I love too support! I pray things get better and yall find that boost that you need. Especially with the owner passing.
Any update now on what we should do and if you still work for onyx?
Have you guys been able to get in contact with the company
Mig Cernicky no longer with Onyx as of March 25th. No contact information for the company now. It's official, Onyx is defunct
The acting CEO is sincere and honest. I sincerely hope a company out there would buy them out. Unfortunately, from an Investor’s point of view, from the outside looking in, it’s difficult to invest money to a company with no LEGAL owner. Really, best of luck to you guys. My advice, hear me out, it’s against your decision, but file for Bankruptcy, right? Start over again with NEW investors, then RE-BRAND the company and CHANGE your manufacturer, hopefully with a new manufacturer with 💯 transparency.
Thank you for the updates. I wish you nothing but success. Enjoying my RCR, it was a long wait, but worth it.
as a small business owner and proud rcr owner, I wish you guys all the best. long live onyx!
I’m not surprised the “50% restocking fee” didn’t come up. I still don’t understand why the restocking fee is so high. I just wish they added this on there checkout saying “wait time will be longer then expected, and if you get tired of waiting we can only refund you 50%”
Really happy I got my bike when i did 2 years ago but really want others to get theirs. I understand the anticipation. Wishing yall all the best and really hoping a solution can be met in a timely fashion.
My RCR has the single greatest dollars-to-smiles ratio of any purchase I have ever made by orders of magnitude, and Ive tried drugs! It makes me so sad to see them fall apart, they made something so magic. I'm never going to let mine go...my baby is gonna get more miles than Theseus' ship before I'm done with it. I'll wind the core myself when its time...
Thanks for the update. Thanks for keeping things afloat and working towards the future. Crossing my fingers for my RCR bike coming soon. Hope that factory is producing good quality bikes. Waiting patiently but nervous
He said he doesn't know when the CTY2 will leave China and has no idea if the RCR'S are even being built yet. So if you ordered an RCR it's gonna be a couple of months to build them and a couple months in transit and customs. So you're looking at a 6 month wait on top of the time you've already been waiting, and hopefully they don't go bankrupt before then..Sondors all over again
@@MadMikeBikes Let's hope not
Thx for this Jeff!! I love onyx and I’m PRAYING things turn around!!
Thing that blows my mind is they are still taking orders and say I g they have no clue what's going on with their business. And they will not refund with out paying a 50% restocking months after the delivery date.
Great fun Bike (even at 50 mph after 2.5 yrs.) All the best to all of you, your passion project, and your wealthy sponsors. My first bike was a Brammo from Oregon and this fun bike failed electronically after 5 yrs. I gave it away. It ended up sold in pieces. Thank you Onyx so much for filming this. The passion is transparent. The Onyx community is very alive.
When is your phone support going to be back up and running ??
Onyx need to step up their game. Super73 even had it right with the marketing.
The mention about the parts differences for the potential 1.75 is spicy goodness.
Are you buying onyx? Maybe you can afford it now
Yeah, that sounds good but that was simply a statement to distract you from the fact that he said he doesn't know when bikes are coming, doesn't know if bikes are being built and at the end of the video was basically Begging for ideas and or money!
they dont change the display because kelly controllers have like 3 display screens on the market that work with them.
Wow I really hope they don't go under. Such a beautifully made bike. Hopefully they can get out of whatever contract they have with the manufacturer because clearly that is what is really holding them back and well I guess poor decisions made in the past. If I had one I would promote the F out of this bike. It's worth saving.
I just rode one for the first time 3 days ago! That thing is fast and solid! I believe it can handle more speed, that's how well built it felt
Gonna be a Lot of charge backs since the CEO can't even say if bikes are being built or when they will ship if at all. Then basically begs for ideas or someone to bail them out.
give me my money back
Good luck, I hope it pans out 🤞
How many ONYX have been sold?
😢 love my onyx
If you can get things back on track, you have an order here!
I'm so glad I was able to get my CTY2 before all this. It's a great bike after modding. Hopefully they make it through. I wonder how much cash they need
What mods did you do? I also own a CTY2
Stock battery 23AH is weak af. Did a dual battery setup now I have 72AH and can ride for many miles. That's the one major mod ive done also domino throttle and looking to swap for a silent flywheel next time I need to remove back tire.
@@Francisco-to2oeDo you have a breakdown of the parts used for this setup anywhere, or could you give a list of everything that went into the dual battery setup?
If a new owner picks up this company, the suspension, controller, and wiring would need an upgrade to put it back on top.
Is there any other e-bike made anywhere that can match the specs? 45+mph, 40+mi range, Class III with pedals, no plate or insurance needed,
Doesn't exist anymore. All goes to shit, just like Tesla
is the LZR pro ever coming back
I just order mine today 2/23/2024 how long dose it take to get me ? I live like 50 miles away from the store
Watch the video again and listen. There is no store anymore and they have no idea when they are getting bikes.
I’m curious. At what point in this video made you say “I NEED to buy an RCR now!’?
@@easyheimerI just saw this video after 5 hours later I bought it I mean not a big deal I can just cancel it
@@izec1000 I highly recommend doing that before you can’t get your money back.
@@izec1000 people are reporting that they aren't doing refunds, just like sondors did before that company imploded as well
id talk to your bank
Obligatory Supportive Comment
Wow. Dane Cook really hit rock bottom. Sad to see.
You have great music taste Jeff
❤
I had a feeling this guy was lying to us. They stole $5K from us knowing they wouldn’t deliver. So messed up.
Sad situation. That sigh at the end did not sound good.
I know 3 people that want their money back and they refuse to help
Have they seen this video? Why arent they online? Real customers?
front fender as the rear fender. 🤔 What a great idea! lol #holymods #ep4 🙌🙌🙌
All they gotta do is one heelclicker off the 60footer. Could have had it all
you need someone who speaks fluent chinese. the chineses manufacturer will never treat you right unless you can communicate in their language and understand the way they do business.
They should pay their unpaid bills first to the manufacturer before they throw them under the bus.
Why are you guys still taking new orders when you're in total limbo?
Even though you have money coming in does it mean that it's fair to customers that you are just taking the money and then not promising them a date on when the bikes should be finished and being built and ready to ship
@jeffrigerator taking payment and not delivering a product is called Theft By Deception. Are you publicly admitting your participation in a crime? Even the CEO stated that he doesn't even know if the manufacturer is even building the bikes!
@@MadMikeBikes Bikes will be delivered. We just shipped 100 last month.
@@Jeffrigerator those were bikes ordered in May-July. So when are August-Present orders being shipped?
Im waiting for my bike I ordered in the beginning of December
Great guy.
Website is down n company is most likely OVER. Is now the end of May
Hard to watch. Thanks for putting it out there. 😢
No one cares what your crazy ass thinks
Hi crazy
9 months and still waiting patiently! Hoping for the best!
Did you just watch the same video I did?
He just said that he doesn't know when the CTY2's will arrive and that he doesn't even know if they started making the RCR's . You definitely need to watch the Entire video and listen to what he's saying.
You won't have variations with quality parts and mid drive I can place 20 talarias and surrons in front of you and they will be within .5mph max vs hub motor could be 10mph off especially with the onyx
James didnt use the 5v converter. Good thing you fixed it. He also added too small of a fuse that caused problems for ONYX customers.
I appreciate the honesty but bro sounds stressed about the reveries from China. What leave the country anyway??
This sucks.
What would it take to rebrand the bikes and put it under a different company?? ONYX is a great brand, but it’s the company name that’s keeping you from operating.
I don't think it is. It's all being worked on right now.
After sales support from Onyx, is not existent. If I had to reevaluate my decision to purchase one today, I would not spend the money on an Onyx. Thank goodness for local communities and for individuals like John Angel who is the super hero in NY.
What a lie , these bikes don’t go 60 as stock I don’t know 1 person who rcr do n mines don’t even hit 50!
Mine definitely does. It also did it before I modded it to run Sicko Mode
Cheap chinese crap and overpriced "cafe" style e bike company goes bankrupt 😂😂
