When you checkout on Indiegogo, you’ll see something that reads: “Your donation is a way to support a project but does not guarantee that you will receive a perk.”

This is just Indiegogo’s way of protecting themselves with legal language. They have no control over what type of projects are funded on their platform so they want to cover their butts.

We have a rock-solid track record and we guarantee the shipment of every single bike.

When you order on a crowdfunding site, it’s a great idea to do some due diligence so you can judge how trustworthy the campaigners are. Here’s some background on our company to help you-​

​You can see from our original campaign in 2016 that we raised $1.7M on Indiegogo (+400K on our site) and got straight to work. As a new company, we encountered many unforeseen challenges that would have stopped many others in their tracks.

We powered through them working 120 hr weeks with no breaks and delivered every single bike ordered. If you want to see how it unfolded you can check the updates section of that campaign.

There are videos of every single step of the manufacturing and delivery of the bikes ordered.

Since then we’ve run another campaign for our electric skateboard (delivered every single one), released over a dozen new bike models and shipped thousands more bikes worldwide.

I hope you can recognize that track record and the invaluable experience built up over the years. We are here for the long run and guarantee the delivery of every bike ordered.

We chose the name because it’s FUN and makes us smile, similar to the experience riding. Also like the bike it gets quite a bit of attention – which is something we feel electric ridables could use more of!

Yes! You can purchase many other models from us here – note most of these are available for immediate shipping, while supplies last. We also make the best electric skateboards in town, check them out here.

Yes, for those that need it, you can order your Babymaker with financing through our website! Just click this link to learn more and order yours.

So far COVID-19 has had 0 effect on production. All of our overseas production facilities are working in full force. We don’t foresee any delays due to the corona virus.

We get it, you’re used to seeing ebikes with big ugly batteries and wires all over the place. Our engineers spent a tremendous amount of time making the battery disappear completely… But trust us it’s there built right into the frame of the bike!

Yes, we have several positions available. Check them out and apply here.

No. They will be even better. We have a few tweaks to make and reserve the right to make modifications in the interest of making your Babymaker even better. We’ve already made some upgrades based on thousands of miles of real world riding and feedback from test riders around the world.

UNLIMITED – with pedaling. It pedals just like a normal bike. With pedal assist, typical riders can expect around 15-50 miles of assisted riding. Range figures are estimates and not a guarantee that you will achieve them. Range varies significantly with terrain, inclines, rider weight, pedal assist level and other factors.

Check out this range report from Eugene’s first day out on his Babymaker Beta-

Yes, we have some exciting ideas for stretch goals. When the campaign reaches a certain funding amount we’ll unlock these upgrades! Tell your friends so we can release these faster!

4’11” – 5’7” Choose the 19” Size 5’8” – 6’7” Choose the 23” Size. Taller riders can check this video from Dave, a 6’6″ rider on the 23″ Tangerine Babymaker – 

We stress test the frames in the lab to 270lbs. That said, Pete and Rob have been known to ride double on one bike, jetting up hills with over 360 lbs combined weight!

Yes! Come cruise by the showroom in San Diego. FLX Bike 4170 Morena Blvd. Ste D, San Diego, CA 92117

Yes! We use high quality components and are in this for the long run. If you need any support at all you can reach our US Based support team by phone or email. All FLX bikes are protected by a one year warranty. All parts are covered from defect or fault. If anything should fail outside normal wear and tear or rider damage we will send you a replacement component.

No stress, we still have your back with excellent support (from real humans in the US) and will help you purchase the correct replacement components to get rolling ASAP.

You’ll be able to purchase replacements on our online store at http://flx.bike. We still stock components for our very first generation of bikes which we launched in 2016.

The Babymaker is extremely simple. Aside from the electronics it’s built 100% with standard bike components. Any reputable bike shop will have the tools to service your Babymaker. For any non standard maintenance we will provide video instructions to ensure top quality service.

Yes! The Babymaker performs in even the worst weather. It is rainproof, but we don’t recommend going swimming with it.

In Summary: The production Babymaker has a 700x28C tire. Tires up to 700x32C should be fine. There may be exceptions for taller tire profiles. It may be possible to fit a 35 wide tire but not recommended. 

The Babymaker is one of the lightest electric bikes on the market. In the current configuration It weighs in at just 32lbs. That’s less than just the battery of a typical car!

It’s simple, just plug the charger into the charging port located on the head tube. It takes about 2 hours to charge with the 4A fast charger.

While the battery is built into the bike, it can still be removed if ever needed for service. Simply drop the fork, remove the plate on the headtube and pull the battery out to remove.

Yes, the charger is rated 100-240V and uses the same power cable that desktop computers use. Works in every country.

No, such a system defies the laws of physics and would decrease the overall range of the bike rather than increase it. Because the efficiency of dynamos and motors is only in the 80-90% range, such a system could only convert ~80% of the energy you put into pedaling into motion. On the other hand, if you simply used this energy to propel the bike, you can put almost 100% of that energy into motion. Put simply, the bike is simpler and will go further without this system.

Yes, there are braze-ons on the seat tube. The touring package comes with a water bottle holder.

Yes, standard mounting points for fenders front and rear along with mounting points for a rack.

Yes just choose the touring package when you check out to get the included cargo rack. 

You can easily remove the quick release front wheel with no tools in just a few seconds. The rear will take a little longer due to the motor and belt drive.

Changing a flat on a Babymaker is exactly the same as on a standard bike. The rear tire can be changed while the motor is still plugged in.

The Babymaker motor is maintenance free. Our motor manufacturer has been making these types of motors for years so they’ve been thoroughly tested in the factory, in the field and with 1000’s of other riders. If needed the rear wheel and motor can be easily swapped for a new unit. 

For our friends in Europe and other places, we will be sending the Babymaker with a 250w rated motor and EU compliant speed limit. Motors up to 250w nominal power are legal in most countries. We’ll be tuning the 250W version for max performance – you will be hard pressed to notice any difference in performance. The speed limit can be programmed to comply with local laws.

The Babymaker can easily achieve 25mph, for legal reasons, above 25mph the motor cuts out and it’s down to the rider how fast they can pedal. The bikes all have a speedometer in the display so you can see exactly how fast that is.

FLX bikes are legal and classified as an electric bike almost everywhere, and as such don’t require a special license. Feel free to check the regulations of your local jurisdiction before purchasing.

We strongly recommend wearing a good helmet. Accidents happen (ask Rob : D ). If you value what’s inside your head, a helmet can protect it from damage. Not only that, it’s the law in many places. Bottom line: you’re responsible for your own decisions. You may see us riding without helmets from time to time and that’s a value decision we make and own. We trust you’ll make the right decision for you each time you ride.

For the US it’s $100. If you live outside the US, you can check the most updated shipping rate for your country by beginning the checkout process and inputting your shipping info. There are a handful of special regions (remote islands etc.) with unique handling rates. If that’s the case, we may reach out after building your bike to collect any additional fees that apply. Note: There’s an additional shipping fee for orders to Hawaii and Alaska. If you order from Hawaii or Alaska, we’ll email you with payment instructions when the campaign ends for the additional fee.

Sorry, we expect a very busy shipping season and to speed up all deliveries we will be shipping via UPS, Fedex and other couriers. We cannot accept pickup in San Diego. 

We expect to start shipping the first batches of Babymakers in Summer 2020. Shipping is first come first serve, so the sooner you claim yours, the sooner you’ll be riding!

The backer is responsible, please check your country’s import duties before purchasing. It is 0% in the US and varies internationally.

Yes, for those that need it, you can order your Babymaker with financing through our website! Just click this link to learn more and order yours.

Please refer to IndieGoGo’s policy here. We’ll put the funds from Indiegogo directly into producing your bike, and delivering each order is important for this project to work.
