has it hat the valve cap? if so that is pretty bad on a bike that expensive but id remove it as could take out another chunk.

haibike are slower when releasing there bikes and some wont be available till next year for the 2021 bikes.

have they got no frame spares? or ask them for some touch up paint till it can get sorted as id be well pissed as well

what psi is in the rear shock?

i had to totally rebuild my bike as was not 1 drop of lube or lock tight anywhere when it was put together and the rear sus horse link bolts £40 each! would fall out same as the pivot bolt lost one of them and cost me 30 quid.

so i check them all as cant afford not to.

id say yes you will have to wait a long time for it to be replaced as imo they dont make that many anyway with the tq motor.

wont they let you keep the bike then?

if that dealer fitted those peddles id not let them touch my bike with a barge poll get the refund and be done with them.

you have no bike and they have all of your money there taking the pi$$

also that has a 150mm rear shock if it was set up right for your waight it would not bottom out going off a curb.

tho it would off still have damaged the frame if you was doing hard off road down hill at speed but that would be a massive crash.

sound like they got it out the box slapped it together never done a pdi check and look what happens.
