I wished I had seen these comments before I bought one of these through Amazon. I am tripping because I usually do thorough research before I spend ANY money. I dont know how I mussed this, but I bought 2 EB 7+ST. in February, by June it it was a large paperweight after only 2 months of usage: work and home..THATS IT. Jasion is CLUELESS as to their own product and how to fix it. Its throwing codes 21/30. No power except lights/horn. Display was working and after a month of emailing back and forth to someone named “Olivia”. It been 2 months and my bike is still down. They offered to pay “up to $100” to take it to get fixed at a bike shop! WHAT?!! First off there is a 1 year warranty on this bike. So you will pay the FULL COST of repair. Tjere is no bike shop that can repair this bike within 100 miles radius. And this is after I put on the new parts they sent for ME to install. Put in the new controller. Still throwing the codes. Now the display stopped working. There HAS to be a fuse or something. 2 months later, still no luck. These bikes are great when they work. Jasion is horrible with their customer service and technical service. They literally tell you to make a video of the problem and send it to them, then they use the videos for troubleshooting purposes as a guide for “you to go by.” It’s ridiculous! They are trash.
