Thanks Paul, good to know my bike is operating as expected.

What's your impressions of the peddle assist? For mine, I start peddling slowly and then.... vroooosh...... the motor really kicks in hard. Even on PA1, the torquey nature of the motor is really felt. In fact it's hard to maneuver slowly with PA on, since small peddles cause the motor to kick in...

Just played around with ridewithgps and I like it... you can input your trip ahead of time and it'll show you the hill grade along the entire way. For instance, going back to look at the rout for my initial test ride, the Radrover tackled a 0.5 mile 9% grade hill... and also a longer 1 mile...

Strava is used by a lot of cyclists and runners. Not sure if it calculates overall grade and stuff like that. but it does all the standard stuff like speed, distance, elevation, etc so you could calculate the grade pretty easily.

While I completely agree with you, in Radpower's defense it does seem like almost of all of these issues are due to poor shipping packing, even the battery issues. That's completely their responsibility as well, but I give them a bit more leeway since it's harder for them to predict that. They...

Glad to see Radpower is taking care of everyone with any bike damage. While not as big as you guys, I'm 6'1" and the bike fits me very well. The motor is very torquey on take off, even on PA1, you really feel it kick in once you start peddling. I did a longer ride yesterday to test my...

Fortunately, it seems like the shipping issues could be easily fixed with some additional foam taped around the bottoms of the forks, additional tape locking things down inside the package, and additional tape/staples on the outside of the box. While I hate to be the guinea pigs, hopefully Ty...

That's too bad, was the battery detached from the frame when your bike arrived? It looks like it was bouncing around the box for the past couple of days, probably the reason the fuse was loose as well. My three pieces of packing tape were solid when my bike arrived, but if yours weren't then...

No photos (I'm too lazy), but the battery is all charged and I spent a while putting the bike together. Just a couple of notes.... Arrival: the bike looked very adequately packed, with plenty of padding around key areas.. the the exception of one. Since the front tire is uninstalled, the front...

Got it! Fyi, the battery came in the box attached to the bike. Time to charge it up!

Mr UPS is taking his sweet time to get to my house. Tracking says it's on the truck out for delivery, maybe it's in the very back of the truck as the last delivery...

Got my tracking number! Expected delivery this Friday! FYI, based on the tracking info, it looks like mine didn't officially start the shipping process until Tuesday. Granted, I wasn't in the first half of batch 1, but just keep that in mind when estimating when your bike should arrive.

Nice, looking forward to some pics and feedback from the Seattle contingent. For the rest of us, Ty mentioned tracking numbers will be sent once the bike is shipped, I'm assuming we should start seeing those shortly.

Just got my invoice for shipping charges!!! Woohoo!!!

According to Mike on the Indiegogo comments, Batch 1 should be getting shipping invoices today. Can't wait!

I'm a first waver, haven't seen anything regarding shipping. Since shipping costs will differ for each person, my guess is they are waiting for the bikes to show up and once they start processing the list of orders they'll charge you.

Yeah, i'm so much concerned with the component choices, just ensuring that there's consistency and quality control in the manufacturing process, something that would be caught during function testing after manufacturing. For example, imagine that one of the factory workers is always forgetting...

I'm excited too... I'm a batch 1 backer and soon-to-be first time ebike owner. Looking forward to using it on my fairly hilly commutes that currently uses a car. I've definitely appreciated the effort and information that these guys have provided for this ebike, it definitely helps someone like...
