Hi EBR! Sorry I was pretty busy this weekend, happy to answer any questions, but we posted on KS that I'd be out of pocket and answers might be delayed. I do still need to sleep 2-4 hours each day. :) Went out for a ride yesterday with some guys: https://instagram.com/p/2gvQljlt3O/ The bloke...

Man, you guys are good! We are hoping to offer a Gates Carbon belt drive option, but didn't get it setup in time for the pictures/video. The frame is belt compatible, and I have a few belt drive bikes. The tough part is designing a dropout that works well for the belt and still allows quick...

The ship dates in the Kickstarter are realistic. We've done our homework. :)

We're including a smart charger that will balance charge the pack and switch itself off when it's done. I plug in the battery at night and just leave it there. We want to make sure these packs are safe for the consumer market. A huge battery recall could destroy a small company, we hope Pedego...

Hey now! I've cooked many a happy meal, just ask my kids! All joking aside, this is a serious endeavor, we're not going to launch something that isn't high-quality, and we will stand behind our products 100%. Warranties are just legal statements that customers later have to fight over. We want...

We've got something for you, but we can't show it yet. :)

God bless you, you got one of the last ones. I should have been more clear about what was included, and so we'll bite the bullet for our earliest backers, but you guys really got yourselves a deal. Now to make sure the campaign kicks so we can get you the bikes! And it's not a matter of IF...

Love that you guys are trading up to a Koben! We will post the most common questions to the FAQ's today.

We will post this up soon as well. The most important part of the bike is the battery, and that does come with our lifetime rebuild warranty.

You got it Paul. We got a little mixed up with our spec, but will honor the price. Everyone who has backed a super early bird bike will get the full Koben S for the price of a CVT upgrade. I'll adjust the price on the next batch of rewards once these sell out. You should grab one before they're...

Thank you so much for your support George! It means a lot that someone with your knowledge and experience with ebikes is excited about the Koben. Can't wait to get the bike to you!

Hey Everyone, Thanks for all the questions, but we're spending almost all our time on Kickstarter and doing press. We're not being shy about specs, just want to present them in a clean and clear format. Shipping is fixed $129 for either bike within the US. Folks in other countries can email me...

Did you watch the video? ;)

Thanks JayVee. We are focused on the US market. European operations will come later. We want to improve the quality of ebikes here in America first. :)

I've tried it. ;) We really recommend the NuVinci hub if you've got any significant climbs. We will have that info up soon, not purposely leaving it out, just figuring out a way to present the info cleanly without the typical "spec sheet" of ebike jargon.

Thanks J.R.! We know a lot of trust has been lost with other ebike campaigns, and we won't comment on them. But I hope we've established that Karmic isn't a fly-by-night operation, Neal and I have both been starting companies for a long time, and we fully intend to deliver on our promises...

Thanks George! The new stuff is exciting, but they'll be more expensive too. We set the campaign at $195k because that's what Dragon Innovation required. They looked through everything and certified that we can deliver the bikes if we hit that goal. You should see the color in person, it's...

Yes! We're big fans of the step-thru frame. Just not ready to those the next version of those bikes yet. ;)

Thanks Kaldeem! We love ebikes, but we're tired of reading about them too. I know it's a pretty high-ticket item, so we're working on ways to make it more affordable for everyone. Stay tuned!

We calculate shipping to be $129 because of additional regulations around shipment of lithium-ion batteries. Unlike other campaigns, we will be locally warehousing the bikes and are happy to have people pick the bikes up in-person. We would refund the shipping charges for local pickups...
