Box came in destroyed and it was missing the bolt to the seat clamp. Had to scavenge my garage for one that’d work. Also arrived a couple days late but other than that, love my bike.

RIPOFF COMPANY

My son bought a replacement wheel for his CrewDart ebike. Once received, we realized it was V2 and not V2.1
I went ahead and re-ordered the correct model and shipped back (cost me $150) the first v2 wheel.
Finally got a hold of someone after a month of it being returned, and they will not refund us. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. They offered to ship it back to us but it would cost another $150.
So far, I'm out $500 and have nothing to show for it.
DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY

Top tier customer service!

Top tier customer service!!
My order was damaged during delivery. I reached out and received immediate and the most kind support getting a replacement. Not being experienced, I also order the wrong size and they help me get the correct size. Their follow up and concern for my son getting his sweet 16 birthday gift was beyond awesome.
I am a happy customer and my son has enjoyed his new bike! Thanks City Grounds!!

I ordered an elite BMX bike for my son from city grounds. When it arrived on my front door it was stolen by a porch pirate. I reported the incident to city grounds and showed them proof of the thief taking the package from surveillance footage and without hesitation they understood the situation and were very quick to send me a replacement bike. Because of this city grounds now has a customer for life in me. Awesome customer service very quick responses through emails as well A1 quality service from city grounds thank you so much.

We really appreciate your continued support and the honest feedback. We completely understand the frustration — when you purchase something new, you expect it to arrive in perfect condition. Since our bikes ship prepackaged directly from the manufacturer, we rely on their packaging standards, but we’re always sharing feedback like yours to help improve overall quality control.
We’re glad to hear you’ve had a smooth ordering experience with us and truly appreciate you being a repeat customer. If you notice any significant damage on arrival, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Support@CityGrounds.com so our team can review and assist.

Reply from City Grounds

Hi Gavin,
We’re very sorry about the mix-up with your recent order. It appears that our latest shipment from the manufacturer was mislabeled — the frames marked as “Black/Red” are actually the Black/Red Fade colorway. We completely understand how frustrating this must be.
If you’d prefer to return the bike, please reach out to our City Grounds Customer Support team and mention the color discrepancy. We’ll be happy to provide a prepaid return label and assist with the process right away.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
Best regards,
The City Grounds Team
