    That is awesome. How much more does it cost to make the bikes here stateside? Just curious as a fellow entrepreneur

    The video sold me on purchasing one of your bikes for my son. I detest spending my money on stuff coming from china. So, let's just call it like we see it, the bike arrived and the sticker on the bottom of the frame says made in china and assembled in USA. Even if you are assembling something in Indiana, which is great, nobody is going to watch this video and have any other impression about your product other than it is legitimately made in the USA. If the components are still coming from a factory in china then it just isn't made in the USA. Plastering the video with American flags and saying how every other manufacturer gets stuff from china but your different is a load of BS. Just be honest about it. If you really care about sourcing USA made products you know how hard it is to find them. I could hardly believe I was buying a legit made in USA bike for the asking price and immediately decided this was the one to get my son. Now, I know why it seemed too good to be true! Nowhere does it say on your FAQ like hey, why does my bike say made in china? If its to keep prices low but ensure proper assembly in the USA then fine but you've got to be up front about it. Again, I applaud your efforts. I know that is is hardly possible to be competitive trying to actually manufacture a product in the United States with the majority of what the consumer market demands ( Wanting CHEAP JUNK). The bike has all the design features I wanted and I'm sure you'll sell millions. The marketing material and verbiage may pass the sniff test with a lawyer but that is not the test. It doesn't pass the test when its been crafted to give customers a certain impression that is not true.
