    Why would you halt production, only to resume it months later, especially if you knew what orders you have on your books? The July 29th court date stands between "wave one" and delivery of "wave two."

    Finding reports that to fully charge the bike takes five hours. It is unknown whether or not electronics are in place to prevent discharging the battery below acceptable levels.

    That is why the "brand" of the motor is important. If it is a CST or BMP Bafang then replacement parts are readily available. http://www.greenbikekit.com/bafang-8fun-bldc-hub-motor-nylon-gears-replacement.html If you have a bike more details about it would be appreciated.

    Speak now or forever hold your peace. Storm will be ahead of any recourse as he knows how to evade the legal process, and he knows how to avoid accountability. When he gets to court on the 29th he will likely say that lots of bikes have been delivered and thus he is out of money. (or he...

    Oh yes, anyone can change a tire. How many people are going to put the tire on in the proper direction? How many people put the fork in the wrong direction? One percent of a containers worth! How many can true a wheel? ZERO How many Storm bikes have untrue wheels? That would be a...

    The sentence happens to be the main idea of the paragraph. Injury, potentially life threatening injury, can result from a poor quality bike with no customer support or quality control. That is why bikes are sold under "strict liability." The $300 lower price point represents an...
