Edit: I should have mentioned, there is another guy from Texas with the Vader on youtube. He is less 'spirited' with his riding, as his videos show him commuting and riding around 'normally' so you get that perspective of the bike, as well. I mean, I thought wheelies on these were obligatory after watching Maxipad but the other guy shows that you can ride it around normally. However, I forget his name and I cannot access youtube at work. Use the search button. Both Maxipad and the other gentleman are good at answering questions.

I remember that vid when Maxi raced his sister that has a Grom and she laughed at him after she won.

Seems to be the case with APSCUSA lately. I am sure the Christmas rush had something to do with it, but it does seem funny with them lately. In fact, it started when someone was trying to order a couple Taotao go-karts. It was Letsride I believe. They took a whole month and then cancelled his order when there was no package. It was believed it was a tie up on Taotao's end, but apscusa never contacted him during that month! This was a couple months ago, so Christmas was not the issue.

Welcome to the forum Extreem! I'm sorry you haven't seen your bikes yet. That is a terrible feeling. I guess even as good as APSC has been to other members the whole drop shipping game can make any company get egg on their face. Please keep us posted on the progress.

I got a tracking # the same day ordered my Hawk. The bike shipped the next day and took about 11 days to get up to ND.
