MAY 15 - PRODUCTION UPDATE
On Feb 10th we started taking deposits on the first batch of Kove Rally 450 models. At that time, we anticipated they would be assembled and ship around the first of May to USA for a mid-June early July delivery. Due to brake components and fuel tank supply those dates are not able to be met. These delays (as of now) HAVE PUT THE PRODUCTION DATES BEHIND ABOUT 3-5 WEEKS.
Currently (5/15/2023) I am scheduled to visit the factory the first week of June to check the first batch assembly and packing. If things go according to plan, I anticipate to have bikes loaded and ready to shipping to USA around June 7-10th. Once bikes have left the factory it is generally 45-60 days to reach our USA Motortoys warehouse, once they reach our warehouse it is 4-7 days to reach the dealers/end users depending on location.
Based on what we know as of today (5/15/2023) the soonest those with deposits on the first batch should expect to see the bikes will be around July 20-25th. I wish I could say it would be sooner but that is the best information we can give at this time. I am also working to confirm the 2,3,4 batch production scheduled which should be shortly after the first.
We are doing the best we can to get the bikes here ASAP, I’m just as anxious and you. I know this information may sound a little vague, and unusual, however this is nothing new for us. We have been importing and distributing bikes since 2003 and delays like this are common, specifically on a new model.
I will post more updates while I am in China and try to show as much of the assembly line and production as possible via this FB group and Instagram at Koverally450.
Thank you for your patience, I know you’ll be excited about the bikes when they arrive!
Questions asked: Are they 2023 or 2024 models? 2024 model year
Will dealer orders be filled before the general public? Orders will be filled in the same order that deposits have been placed.
