Just an update on my GPS monitoring solution. I was using a FreedomPop SIM that provided free monthly data after paying a small setup fee. Unfortunately they discontinued that plan and their new "free" plan required a new SIM which I couldn't get to work in the tracker so I started shopping...

Short story is the long delayed refund check from Gates finally arrived but was less than the amount needed to pay off all founders requesting refunds. The select few founders threatening legal action were paid off sooner at the expense of other founders who were told they will receive less...

Haha, it was the SA 5 speed but good job of parroting the same nonsense. Pretty much everyone that went with that hub broke it.

I bring it up because his commentary of WW stems from a discussion a few years ago where I tried to warn him that hub couldn't handle the power of the Ultra. He couldn't handle the feedback. Here is the thread...

I asked Pushkar that question last month and sounded like they have been injecting substantial personal capital to continue Helios frame development and keep the lights on. The original amount owed founders requesting refunds was significantly more than $20K (that's just the residual remaining...

Oh, and your comments about the crowdsourcing project simply aren't correct. Where did you read that founders never heard back from the company? I can assure you that's not the case being a participant.

Good to hear you got your funds back. In some regards I think you should give them some credit for being willing to take the bike back. Seems they were trying to do the right thing and got caught in a cash flow situation. No excuse for not responding back to you but I really think your comments...

You have no clue what you're talking about. Speaking of which how's that Sturmey Archer hub working out for you on that POS you bought from China?

What makes you think they haven't already done that? It's a very small company that has made some big investments. They already injected considerable personal finances to start the company, and more to keep things going, it's not so easy just to keep going to the well. $21K is just the...

Oh really? I'll call BS on that. All anyone has to do to validate is click on your posting history. Plenty of threads that have nothing to do with founder refunds where all you do is stir the pot. And maybe that was a typo but obviously I have more trust as I'm still opting to wait for the...

It's rare that see the "good" feedback highlighted here. Just wanted to share some follow up with a recent purchaser that I had referred to WW. I actually encoraged them to go with a Luna X2, but they wanted the Hydra. My perspective is that WW is trying to do the right thing., they have just...

I don't. 😅

Give me a break. Founders signed up for an awesome deal. There was minimal profit margin and things didn't go as planned. This was NOT a typical purchase. There were risks. If you didn't want the risks you coud opt to pay a small deposit and pay more later. Things didn't go as planned...

What is your intention? As far as I know you're a founder that has been paid back in full. Yet you take every opportunity to stir the pot.

Yeah, the E05 is an older frame design. It was the alternative provided by Dengfu for folks in NA that wanted the X1 frame. The X2 frame is the most recent iteration and Luna doesn't have a NA exclusive like they did on the X1 frame. Biktrix offers the same frame as the X2, although I'm told...

FWIW, founders had the option to pay a smaller deposit up front, in lieu of a larger discount. I consider my purchase to have been an investment in that regard. No, not an investment in the company, per se, although it's not too far from the current situation as WW's legal position is founder...

Here's a summary of what happened: Founders crowdsourced a bike Terms were no refunds Founder funds were used to purchase parts / invest in frame molds Frame design was switched from aluminum to CF Refund option was offered to founders at that point if they did not agree to changes CF frame...

My understanding is Luna (and Biktrix) bought out most of the frame capacity last year leaving WW in a pickle (in addition to the alleged IP theft by Dengfu). Last I heard bikes are not selling and Biktix cancelled a large portion of their order. I'd guess Luna's inventory is piling up as well.

Nice write up. As far as the SRAM brakes I think it's just a matter of dialing them in. I wasn't impressed with them initially on my Luna X1 and had a slightly warped rotor but over time things worked themselves out I'm quite happy with them. I've actually had more headaches with my Magura...

Hopefully you can come to a resolution in the 1:1. I do believe you will get your money back, keep the faith. I used to recommend them without hesitation, but can no longer do so without full disclosure. I will say that I have seen both sides, good and bad with this company. Recently a...
