FWIW all founders requesting refunds have been paid as of a couple weeks ago.

I just texted pushkar last night and got a reply, so can confrim he's still alive. When I haven't gotten a reply I've resorted to scheduling a 10 minute 1:1 with them: https://www.calendly.com/wattwagons

I'm assuming you were speaking hypothetically, or did you actually set up a relay this way? Pretty sure the battery will be sending more current to the controller than an automotive relay switch can safely handle. Also, the coil resistance in an automotive relay needs a 12/24v battery to...

I would venture to guess so called "throttle misapplication" is a byproduct of other characteristics of these "class 2" bikes. Removing throttle wouldn't make them any more suitable for trails under consideration. How do we educate if we just throw up our hands vs. have an intellectually...

My Archon throttle is restricted to 750W peak. I don't get any surges. It's perfect when stopped at a light with cars behind me and I want to get going faster than I would from pedaling, or if I forgot to gear down enough and/or I want to save my knees. Also nice to give my legs a brief rest...

It's just an attempt to limit power (despite class rules allowing the same power for all) since most class 1 eMTB are going to be euro spec and higher powered eMTB are going to be class 2 or 3 (or hybrid). But you're right, you can't make a sensible case to allow class 1 but exclude class 3...

Been there done that ha. But yeah, that doesn't look like it's going to end well.

I've been planning to add another tracking device for one of my other bikes and saw this tkstar TK408-4G tracker on amazon on sale for under $50 so decided to give it a try and compare to my eelink tk419. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JKND56D/ The tkstar is about the same length x width...

Figured out how to get the tracker working with ruhavik (gps-trace), a free third party tracking platform offered by Gurtam. Even better I was able to leverage one of Gurtam's other free platforms (flespi) to act as a proxy server so I can send data from the tracker to multiple servers at the...

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...
