I saw an advertisement on Facebook about a really nice electric bicycle from a company called Peace Bicycles. The advertisement looked so nice and the bike they offered looked so attractive. They showed a woman about my age happily riding their bike.
A sale price was offered that seemed tempting. After watching a video showing a woman riding one of their electric bikes and looking so happy, I ordered a bike on September 27, 2024. (I just noticed that the woman riding this bike is not wearing a helmet! Why would a legit bike company advertise their products without bike helmets? See video below)
I received an email that looked official about a day later that my ordered had been received. See below.
This is the bike I ordered: Night Blue With Black Tires - electric |
I asked for an estimate on a delivery date and received the same response over and over again:
“ Will update you asap :) ”
Pasted below are screenshots of some of my correspondence with this company.
Also below are screenshots of complaints about this company to the Better Business Bureau. It is apparent that people order bikes from this company and nothing arrives for years. I’ve been scammed.
I’ve contacted Affirm and hope that they will investigate and not require me to pay off the over $1000 loan that they already paid to Peace Bicycles.
Notice no one is wearing helmets in these photos!
Also one address of the company according to their website is in Utah:
Peace Bicycles 1444 South 500 East STE 350 + 400 American Fork, UT 84003
Peace Bicycles’ Utah address looks like it is an empty field…. |
and another address is in Sarasota, Florida:
It looks like Peace Bicycles address in Florida is this little house…OMG!!! |
This info page says they are in Utah…so why does the website say “beautiful Florida” !!!!????? |
And again…NO HELMETS in their photos.
This company and their website https://www.peacebicycles.com/ are a scam!
More photos with NO HELMETS! |
This photo says the company delivered to Lawton, Oklahoma…. And, of course, NO HELMET…. |
Well maybe there are bikes somewhere? But…how many years will it take for my bike to arrive? |
Update!
Received the following on Saturday 10/16/24….BUT…there is no actual address of where the bike was delivered! I do have a tracking number though…. 1ZJ22D980324736450
This says the bike has been delivered …but where? |
I’ve filed a Lost Package claim with UPS 11/16/24 |
Why won’t Peace Bicycles answer my emails or texts? Why do they never answer the phone and why is their voice mailbox full? This company must take pride in scamming seniors. |
Well, at least I now know where the partially assembled/completed bike is that is missing the electric wheel. |
