    Thanks, Josh. If you get a sense of range using the battery, could you post? I'm torn between the mini and upgrading. I don't plan to use it all the time, more for hills and headwinds, so I'd love to have some actual range figures to consider. Supposedly the add-e which had a similarly sized...

    OMG thank you for posting!!! I can't wait for mine to arrive, of course, I won't have Jeff installing it, lol. Lucky you =). Did it come with any kind of instructions?

    You've made some good points but it's not realistic to expect crowdfunding developers to be engineers/scientists/marketing gurus/web designers, etc. etc. I suspect any $ he has is in the product and rent for production space and staff. Hopefully, once it's out there, EBR and other sites will...

    Well, the box says on/off in 5 seconds...we'll see. As i see it the steps now are (1) detach motor, (2) bring it back towards the battery and retract cable, (3) attach to main unit, (4) remove entire unit. Or, maybe you can't attach the motor while the battery is on the frame, so you would...

    OneMotor page now says ships in "2-3 weeks". Perhaps that means FCC certification went okay. Hope Jeff will push out an update with some feedback from first deliveries.

    Once they start to ship, I wouldn't have any worries, imo. It's getting things lined up for distribution that is hanging things up now, Jeff is done design tweaking (thank God!). Once the spigot turns on, the flow will continue. I don't know that very many backers are posting here so first...

    I thought FCC meant certification for more than the battery...I went back in the updates and found this: " UN38.3 testing for the Packs and FCC testing for the full device".

    Hi Andrew, I am backer #38 and also a folding bike rider. I have a Bike Friday Pakit and a Dahon Mu Uno and I plan to use it with both bikes. I also have had faith that Jeff would deliver, and that the product would be exceptional in part due to his obsessiveness, lol. Looks like we are getting...

    As far as I recall, there were around 250 IGG orders. It appears Jeff has around 100 batteries now, and I assume timing on the remainder of deliveries will depend on timing of receipt of the remaining batteries. In any case, I'm not going to get excited until I receive my invoice which I think...

    New update: batteries received! Some outsourcing on 3d printing processes. Looking very good for early backers to receive in March. I'm #38, can't wait.

    Well, Jeff's website just changed from 4-6 weeks delivery to 3-4 weeks delivery. No idea what that means, but I hope it means he got the stuff from China he was waiting on....and he got some bikes out to NY folks and had some feedback. A status update would be very well received at this time =).

    Nope. I have just followed the project since the first iteration (and missed a chance to buy in), then was lucky enough to replace a backer on this current version. Never met the guy, but before I bought in on his project I did some online research to see what his track record was. I've been...

    I'm inclined to think that's not the problem since this is not his first rodeo ;-). Not only did he bring his first version of SR to conclusion and deliver it, but he also is the inventor of Bromfoot, a brompton accessory, which has provided him with experience in developing, marketing, and...

    Helix still hasn't shipped yet, either. Both are getting close but those last few steps are taking forever, lol. I still have a $20 bet that SR/1M will ship first, but could go either way. Both are 3 years +. Ehh, waiting builds character, and we all have a ton of character now ;-).

    I suspect he may get caught with Chinese New Year holiday break - and more delays. I'm thinking March now.

    You should read the Helix thread on bikeforums.net hahaha. Unofficially titled the unicorn bike thread =).

    From what they've told me, in response to my inquiry trying to time the sale of my car, I would say early backers might receive shipments in January. Apparently, shifting the stream of parts to avoid tariffs has caused some delays. Quite rightly, they wouldn't commit to a specific time for me...
