Remember Bike Bandit? If you’ve purchased any motorcycle parts or accessories over the past decade or so, you’ve probably placed at least one order with the online retailer. Bike Bandit was once one of the better places to get both OEM and aftermarket parts and to peruse parts diagrams. Now, though, the mighty have fallen; taken out by competition, vulture capitalism, and, apparently, some funny business with the books.
The company quietly declared bankruptcy in February, 2022, but as a story published by our friends over at Jalopnik reveals, there’s more going on here. Slog through Bike Bandit’s online reviews or Better Business Bureau complaints—there are now nearly 400 of the latter, as of June 1, 2022—and you’ll soon see similar patterns of customer complaints repeating over and over.
