I think he used Citi Bike in his campaign without permission so they made a stink about it. At the time of the first iteration, no share bikes were electric so I get their hesitancy to permit adding a device to share bikes. Now Jump and Lime and everyone have e-bike shares out there, so perhaps...

This product launched via crowdfunding on IndieGogo. People who purchased a unit through the crowdfunding are "backers" and will receive the first products off the line before it goes to pre-order then retail. it's been a looooong road but it is finally going to pay off for those who paid 3+...

There is a monetary discount for pre-ordering (around 10-15%). And there is the possibility of longer wait times, even past next summer, if you wait for available retail. Since there is no penalty for canceling at any time, the only downside is your $ is tied up not earning anything. If you get...

If you're heading in to winter, that makes total sense. Actually it makes sense, anyway, if you don't need it right away. You might consider asking Jeff if you could prepay now to get the discount with delivery set sometime next year (starting the warranty clock) and still retain the right to...

So is anyone on here buying into the pre-orders? Or are you waiting to see how it turns out? Or just moving in a different direction? Curious, now that it seems to be coming to fruition.

NEW UPDATE went out this morning. Check out their new page (click pre-orders on top menu to see pricing). https://onemotor.co The product looks AMAZING! And one of my concerns, the noise from friction drives which can be a very loud whine, is hardly noticeable. Probably won't be heard at all...

Well, after we got the requests for accessories/updating I was very optimistic. It's been awfully quiet lately, though. Hoping for an update soon; worried he got hammered on tariffs. On the bright side, with recent inflation, you won't really be losing 5 cents, lol.

I didn't find anything about the charger/port but it's probably the same as the original shareroller. I say that just because Jeff hasn't said anything about it (that I can find) so it probably isn't "improved". It still has the USB port one can use to charge a cell phone but I didn't see any...

Nope. Requested upgrade/accessory info a couple weeks ago. I haven't been invoiced for my upgrade yet, so I'm a little worried about another delay. Hopefully, we will get an update soon =).

I found this reference in an earlier update, but Jeff hasn't given any details as it appears to be custom: Battery Packs: Below is a picture of a production prototype pack being assembled by our supplier - the BMS board has yet to be installed, hence the gap between the cells and the retracting...

Depends on the battery. 4.5lb or 6lb for mini versus standard according to his website. He didn't post the separate weight for the motor unit; the weights he gives are all inclusive.

Yes, the communication/timing could be better. But, otoh, I'd rather he focus on production. He doesn't have a staff for customer service or marketing. Personally, I wouldn't judge the level of post-purchase service by this - if the product is successful and makes it past the first run he will...

Ahh, give him a break, lol. Maybe Jeff is focused on getting units out to backers instead of finding a way to bring in new $ right now. That will benefit new customers greatly if there are actual reviews.

That sounds really nice! Since I retired, my bike has completely replaced my car but locking a nice bike on the street is a very bad idea. Lightweight folder+lightweight SR= perfection (I hope).

Thanks. If it doesn't work out, I will probably not bother with an ebike/conversion. I had a dedicated ebike at one point and sold it. SR makes sense for me because of the incredibly light weight; I carry my bike with me instead of locking it. That's not really an option with hub kits, etc...

I have had zero problem waiting patiently for SR. But now we have received our selection emails. Now I'm going crazy with anticipation. Imaging rides I will take (that I can't manage now because of my knee), and riding with my adult son (who got tired of waiting for me all the time). This is...

My perspective is that Americans had a choice and made it by shopping at Walmart. I've been buying American made items specifically for a long time now, which means I buy less (because it is more costly), but frankly we can all "do" with less. Americans consume, consume, consume. Granted there...

FYI For backers: Jeff has updated the survey form to include pricing if one wants to upgrade from mini to standard. He also better explained the mounts and mounting choices. I had initially backed a mini but have decided to upgrade to the standard. Not crazy about the extra pound and a half...

I got my email about accessories today so NOW is the time to get excited!!!! I still anticipate little hiccups and delays but by the end of Sept. I will be zipping along =). WOHOO!!!!! Will definitely post about how well (or not) it works with details.

We don't know what the lead time will be on pre-orders. A month, few months or ?. But if one doesn't have an order via crowdfunding already, it makes sense to wait and see the reviews (unless the pre-order discount is huge) and possibly benefit from any subsequent improvements based on feedback.
