I used Varstrom twice now- Best price !!

I used Varstrom twice now, 3 years ago and a week ago
The best way is to chat with them via their web chat. keeping in mind they are on HK time not UK time.

I ordered the BSS02b 750w with a 20Ah battery and it arrived 3 days after order ( 27th in the morning , 30th in the afternoon )

on my first order they replace a burned out battery connector and were always very help full

NO WARRANTY on Varstrom Europe BAFANG middrive kits

I bought two Bafang mid drive kits, with battery, from the Varstrom Europe dealer on AliExpress, in August 2024. One BBS01-350W and a BBS02-750W. Including batteries it cost me 1200 euros.

3 months after not so very intensive use, the BBS01 started showing Error 30 on the screen, intermittently. The support person of Varstrom Europe, which did not have any products in his store anymore, told me to check all connections and see if any cable was broke. So I did this several times. At some point, the screen would not turn on and my motor became useless. He still was telling me I needed to check all cables.
Finally I replaced the screen and the cable that connects to the screen. Still the screen was black. Then he told me he can SELL me a controller, which was probably broke.
I told him the motor was purchased brand new, and he should provide warranty. But he told me, if I buy a new controller, he would provide warranty. Not for the whole kit I purchased previously.

I have no way to get any support or warranty for a product I payed a lot of money for. Above all, after 3 months of use, it is broke and it can be thrown away.

The practice of Varstrom Europe, is unacceptable.

I would recommend nobody to purchase anything from this store. There are reliable other sellers, that can provide ADEQUATE support and live up to the warranty of BAFANG.

Reply from Varstrom

Dear customer
I am the general manager of Varstrom Europe Aliexpress. I think you may have misunderstood my team's reply. My team said that your motor reported error 30 and replaced the controller for free. In addition, your meter and 1T4 line are completely damaged as shown in the video, so my team recommends that you replace the meter and 1T4 line, and then my team will replace the controller for free. You could go to Aliexpress to reply to my team's message. My team has been actively solving problems for you and has been fulfilling warranty services. If possible, please go to Aliexpress to communicate, and my team will definitely give you a satisfactory solution.
