MBS Agent Series Electric Mountainboards Have Arrived

Normally here, but looks like its sold out.

So try ATBShop…

I’ll check with exway about the 404 for europe. That shouldnt be the case. Did you contact them about that already?

Exway is already sold out in Europe unfortunately. ATBShop seems to be the best bet currently. MBS Agent Explorer Electric Mountainboard - ATBShop.co.uk

Haha. Frustration noted. It’s always tough to know where to send boards on a first run. We’ll try to do better on the next one. In the meantime it looks like ATBShop is the only option that won’t spend a long time in transit. Sorry man!

Dude, you need to chill out and stop accusing people of shit. All the things that you’re complaining about are the simple realities of international shipping and small-scale manufacturing. If you dont want to buy the board from the options you have, that’s totally fine. But dont be a dick about it.

What makes you think that ATBshop could possibly sell the board for the same amount of money as MBS/Exway? ATBshop has to buy a bunch of boards from MBS/Exway, paying a big lump sum up front for boards they might not sell for months. That’s a big risk for any business. Then they have to pay to ship that huge pallet of massive board boxes from China to them. The exact same shipping cost/time which you were complaining about from Exway :man_facepalming:

And when the boards do finally arrive, they have to pay whatever import taxes/tariffs/duties their country charges.

So OF COURSE they’re going to have to sell the boards for more. They have to sell them at a price which can sustain their business. Which, I’ll remind you, is EXACTLY the same reasons why you’re complaining about not being able to import a board from elsewhere. Cus it’s EXPENSIVE.

Not to mention that after they sell a board, they have to do customer service on that sale for the rest of time. The same customer service you were complaining about from Exway, I might add.

If you want local customer service who speaks your language, shares your timezone, and responds promptly, that’s exactly what you’re paying extra for when buying from a local retailer like ATBshop :man_facepalming:

I’m sure this is not your intention, but you’re coming across like a spoiled brat. You want to order directly from the manufacturer for the lowest possible price, undercutting any local retailers. You want it shipped straight to you, fast and for free. You want to pay no import fees at any point. And for all that, you think you still deserve the same quality of customer service as you would get from the local retailers who you’re unwilling to buy from. Grow up :man_shrugging:

MBS is a small company. Exway is a small manufacturer. ATBshop and whoever else are tiny retailers. No one is out to get you, like you seem to believe. There isnt some grand conspiracy going on. Everyone involved would love to sell you the board you want, at the lowest price that is sustainable for their business. This isnt Walmart or Apple or whatever, where they can bend global supply chains to their will and deliver a seamless buying experience to everyone everywhere all at once.

This is just how this shit works. Chill.

I was literally thinking while reading your post, “If I had gone the high route and explained beautifully, Ben or Al would come in with a banger of a one liner.”

Swear on my life. We’re oil and vinegar.

Thanks for coming to our defence @BenjaminF and @Venom121212 . All good points. With that said, even though his tone could have been more constructive, his main point, that the availability of the MBS AGENT series in Europe from our first production run wasn’t ideal, is valid. It’s especially tough to get distribution right on a first run. We’re certainly aiming to do better for our next run.

Do your European customers have the option for shipping from the US? I know it wouldn’t be cheap but neither is combined shipping cost of parts for putting together a DIY.

Good idea. We’re working on the DG cert to allow us to ship our batteries internationally via air. Hope to have that soon.

Joel @MBS this is soooo good.

I bet those berms would be hard as hell to tackle…
