Likely to be a price error.

Get from A to B without breaking a sweat with the Fluid Bolt Commuter E-Bike. Available in three sizes, this pedal assisted commuter bike makes it easy to get up hills and maintain a steady cruising speed.

Features:
LCD display shows your speed, assistance level, battery level and distance
Removable battery that can be locked to bike
Powerful 250W motor and 10amph battery for a range of up to 60 km, and 5 assistance levels
Shimano 7 speed gearing
Powerful V-Brakes
Weight limit: 100 kgs

Guessing it's not the greatest bike and a big chance it won't be honoured at this price but worth a shot.

    most likely a pricing error and not going to be honoured. time wasted. $1900 discount? yeah right

        as a knight of time I purchased first and then went back in time after my order got cancelled and negged

          The job isn't done yet, next part is to complain and throw comments in about contract law and binding transactions and bagging them on social media etc until they give you a gift card to shut you up. Isn't that how price errors with large companies work?!

        Well look at the comments below… I was right, free $100 gift card. Like I said, 5 mins time well spent… So much unnecessary negging of my comment, but I can commence my laughing…. !! :)

      man if that gets honoured, you one lucky pr*ck haha

  • Legend279 on 19/02/2020 - 08:29

    Was about to complete the order and removed lol

  • sarahbrisbane on 19/02/2020 - 08:29

    They have just pulled it. I clicked on the link, added to my cart, logged in and then it was gone from my cart.

    Clicked on the link again and it just takes you to the bikes page now.

    Bummer, was hoping for another DJI Drone-like honoured price error (I was one of the lucky few to nab a drone).

    • iShibby on 19/02/2020 - 10:49

      What deal did you get on the drone?

        It was big on OzB a few months ago. DJI Mavic Zoom 2 or something pricing error for $299 I think it was. Should have been like $1799. Lots of people ordered, and Bunnings surprisingly honoured some of them that got in very early and the rest gave refunds and a gift card as an apology (can't remember how much for).

        I don't think I will ever get another deal that good :)

        • iShibby on 19/02/2020 - 15:17

          Oh wow that’s amazing!

        • Hazza on 19/02/2020 - 16:39

          The gift voucher was $250!

    Did you really need a question mark at the end of the title, OP?

  • phoneypony on 19/02/2020 - 08:32

    Same here. I wasn’t fast enough!

  • demoiree on 19/02/2020 - 08:39

    those who bought , can you please check if the order history shows the order? they took the money but no order in the order history

    • [Deactivated] on 19/02/2020 - 08:40

      yes I can see the order

      • solidice on 19/02/2020 - 08:53

        can you post a screenshot of what the order looks like on your end?

        So you negged the deal for being a pricing error, but also purchased the product??

        • Shibuya on 19/02/2020 - 09:11

          tough customer…

        • [Deactivated] on 19/02/2020 - 09:15

          to prove that I am right when it gets cancelled of course

          p.s. it just did, the refund came through. see? I was right

    I didn't get one, but i hope this turns out well for those who were able to buy!!!

  • jayel on 19/02/2020 - 08:45

    As store websites are pretty good at user tracking and analytics and can generally see the website a customer has linked from (ozbargain), would it be more likely to be honoured where the user hasn't come from a site explicitly stating its a pricing error?

    A paranoid workaround would be to copy the link into a new tab.

    • Scootex on 19/02/2020 - 08:48
      +1

      Don't see how it should matter how you got to the store…

      • jayel on 19/02/2020 - 09:25
        +3

        Its stems from whether they choose to use discretion is honouring sales. Ozbargained price errors would likely affect whether the loss to the retailer is acceptable to bear. Retailers may choose to honour a pricing error or provide some compensation to manage any reputation damage from regular customers, It seems it would be easy for them to distinguish between a buyer who fit their customer profile and came across the deal on their website and entered in good faith, and buyers that have been forewarned that its a pricing error and are less likely to be upset when its not honoured?

        You don't know analytics then :)

        • jayel on 19/02/2020 - 10:53
          +1

          Which part makes you say that?

          Of course I'm not at all an expert in ecommerce analytics hence why I have prefaced statements with 'it seems'. So if you happen to work in a big retail ecommerce department, I am very curious to know whether this is feasible?

          • Scootex on 19/02/2020 - 11:02

            @jayel: @jayel: I think he was directing the comment at me… I understand analytics. I was merely pointing out that it shouldn't matter. Its dodgy in my opinion.

            • Pootie Tang on 19/02/2020 - 11:47

              @Scootex: Yeah, it was, just the analytics so they know where to spend their marketing dollars etc, that's how this site makes their dollars. The amount of data that is freely available on people is quite disturbing. Those phone calls that put you in with a chance of winning a $50 voucher or iPad are all sold off to big companies so they can form data points on people and suburbs. I have access to a program at work that can give me the rough income, phone numbers, amount of people in the house etc. Get on the no-call list is my advice and sign up your parents etc.

  • Shibuya on 19/02/2020 - 08:48

    I managed to order one too. Let's see what happens

    I must be very unwell. Had opportunity to snag one. 100%. Decided to not proceed. Do I need a specialist?

    • franco cozzo on 19/02/2020 - 09:13

      dont worry…you dont need to exploit every price error
      i did the same with the bunnings drone deal…

    Funny thing there's an Anoconda add showing as a display add on this page at the right hand side for me. Had that deal (still with the $99 price) front and centre!

  • Scootex on 19/02/2020 - 11:51

    Bike has been re-added to the site.. $999… I guess they missed a 9.

      I guess they missed a 9.

      Maybe it wasn't an error…

      Almost 4,000 clicks and it's cost them nothing…

  • Dex38313 on 19/02/2020 - 13:18

    So is anyone still buying the bike is 1/2 price there was a lot of keen people wanting it

    • turbodude on 19/02/2020 - 16:33

      I have seen it down to this price on multiple occasions so I would consider this the realistic "usual" price

    Top notch service by Anaconda, I received a $100 egift card due to the pricing error.
