    I agree. I don't like the manual shift, because it seems to have to be done in increments. Especially getting into the highest gear. I'm hoping to upgrade to the Automatiq the minute the bugs get worked out with it. Yeah, that high pitched whine is the same thing I'm hearing and struggling to...

    One thing I have noted in these heavy prairie winds: There's a whistle somewhere on the bike. At first I thought it was from the motor, but no. Removed the rear wheel reflector, and still no. seems my search continues. No such noise whatsoever in low wind. Not a big deal, I'll find it eventually.

    I'm back in the saddle, and it's really great. So heartening to hear about this long distance action. I assume they've sorted out BMS low voltage cutoff action -- that's a weird thing to get arguing about. Heck they have 2 charge modes and that too is somewhat unusual(unique to me--hasn't been...

    Having encountered some show-stopping adversity with the Manual CVT(not to worry, I'm taking it up with support, I'm sure it'll all come out in the wash) -- is there a timeline on the Automatiq support? Upgrading is now something I'm very very keen to do.

    Mine arrived today. I could not be more pleased! Thanks to the team for a great bike...and just in time for the long weekend. I will also be testing range: but that's because "ultramile-ing" is totally my thing...the best rides are long rides, I find.

    Lucky! Please send along a quick review if you would, I'm dying for more info on how it is. I definitely sat too long. Was vaguely hoping it'd be in my hands next week for Bike-to-work week. We put on a good spread here for it. I can't wait to show off. :P

    Dang! They're usually pretty decent here in town, it's purolator and DHL that are all suck. Here's hoping things shake out quickly for you.

    So...how is it? I have yet to hear back. I assume folks are hard at work building em, so I'm not worried... but I am kicking myself for not ordering earlier.

    I had a similar thought/emailed this morning, though I think I'm one of the later orders in general. It's fine though...we've hopefully just had our last bit of snow here today. :P

    The news around Biktrix stolen shipping container claimed the frames were unique to them, so it surprised me. Clearly not so unique as claimed. I personally don't understand the draw of FS and don't care for it myself -- at all. I also don't ride single track, so don't have the use case.

    That frame sure looks startlingly familiar...Biktrix here in Saskatoon just released a model like that.

    I'm likely to be swapping a number of parts like bars/stem/saddle, TBH. My hope when it arrives is to get a professional bike fitting done after probably the first 1000km. I never get it just right myself, and folks I know have said it's money well-spent.

    Agreed!! The anticipation is intense! Gonna be a most excellent day when it arrives. Might wear out the F5 button before long, though. Hitting Refresh makes it happen faster, right? :P

    Is the whine a fan-like noise from the charger? Haven't gotten mine yet, but I've ridden quite a few from other companies...chargers can/do make a high pitched whine with the wee fan inside the charger(when there is one). Of course I'm speculating with zero hands on-- Ravi and the gang would be...
