Yeah, don't disagree they haven't handled it very well, and reputation may be irreprable, even if they make it thru (I think they will).

Intentions are good, they're just getting hit from all directions (including suppliers they returned inventory to who are slow to refund).

I've seen some more recent design renders and it's looking really nice with some enhanced features. Can't say much more but one can only hope the stars will align and this will come to fruition.

No I don't think they are worth it (especially if you get a canbus motor). My Frey bike was just ok until I upgraded the controller. If you want finesse roll your own with a motor from Innotrace.

Here's the Sondors folding step thru I saw at Costco. I was mistken, price is actually 1449.99.

I would try Costco. Can easily return it if it doesn't work out. https://www.costco.com/jupiter-defiant-all-terrain-foldable-electric-bike.product.100709287.html In store they also have a Sondors Smart Step LTD for $1499. I don't see it online at costco.com any more but you may want to check...

Interesting. Could be that Luna programmed their M600 to be PAS dependent, at least the pre-2021 firmware version I have. I heard Bafang had some liability concerns and the reason for Luna having custom firmware was partially a mandate from Bafang they dial power back at lower PAS, so that...

Also, throttle is kind of a yawn, I think because it's programmed to be PAS dependent. In lower PAS (where you are normally riding) it's not like you get full power when you throttle on the ultra. Even in PAS 5 it's not going to accelerate like a 750W motor. The 600W nominal rating is...

The stock M600 programming is acceptable (much better the Ultra). Luna put garbage firmware on their M600s prior to mid 2021 which really soured me on my X1, made it unusable at lower PAS. However, their latest firmware is much improved, better than the stock M600 I think. If you can get a...

It's a Frey CC. I'm tapping in to the fuse between the battery and charging port. Worst case scenario is a blown fuse so can't imagine it would void warranty in my case but you might want to ask the manufacturer. Also, depending on the bike you purchase there may not be room for the GPS in...

Curious what kind of maintenance is required on the 2 chains? Is it significantly lower maintenance?

Unless you are running out of time I'd reply back they have 1 day to provide confirmation that refund has been initiated or you will file the dispute.

Looks like Bolton (and also Bikonit) are switching to a Rohloff hub which should help with reliability. https://area13ebikes.com/products/md1000 Unfortunately it seems they will also have CANBUS motors (good luck programming / refining them). These bikes come from Leili in China so you're...

You do realize the wathog with sturmey archer is the mary poppins of IGH? It's not a capable IGH for a Bafang Ultra. Biktrix originally was planning to offer the IGH version and abandoned it due to so many issues.

Sorry you lost me there. It's not like they ship a lot of bikes to customers outside of North America, so I wouldn't expect them to have expertise here. If they made assurances up front to the contrary that would be one thing.

Just FYI that prices will be increasing April 1 by 15%. Got this email a week or so ago but not sure if it has been reported here.

No sure I understand your chart. Are you saying in Eco 3-4 and Sport 1-3 you can only hit ~30 mph if you feather in the throttle, but if you mash throttle you can hit 50+ mph? For other PAS you can only hit ~45 mph whether you feather in or mash throttle? Or are these just readings on your...

What happened to putting the bike upside down? It's by far the easiest way to take a video of the overrrun in the comfort of your home, garage, or back yard. No need to hang your rear wheel from a tree or find a road without traffic. Not that sound matters here, just rotate the pedal by your...

Nope, I ordered from Watt Wagons (and recommended it to others) because I believed in the company which (at the time) had a reputation for providing a top notch product, attention to detail, 5 star customer service, innovation, was actively engaged and well regarded in the forums, and had a very...

You want to demonstrate that when you stop pedaling (or stop applying throttle) the chainring keeps moving, so hold the pedals fixed rather than let them spin which could simply be due to inertia and not the motor continuing to apply power. The chainring will move if the motor is applying...
