Thanks for the fun read.
Nice to see there is a Bolton section now. It probably wasn't there before because I've never paid for an EBR review and have no plans to do so. Consider me old fashioned in that sense. Currently we don't pay for any advertising.
I do intend on continuing to make parts for ebikes. Lots of ideas on the drawing board, but bringing them to production takes time. I hope 2021 will be full of surprises, for DIYers and people buying bikes alike.
Bikes are selling very fast for everyone right now, Bolton Ebikes included. We released a batch of the Blackbird bikes for November shipping 2 days ago. I personally would rather wait until I get them in stock, but customers literally beg daily to place an order and are willing to wait. It's a strange time and demand for bikes. In 48 hours we've sold more bikes than I used to sell in an entire year. Its all a bit hectic and I've hired a lot this year, but good to see things progressing across the industry. That being said, I do intend on keeping things smaller and different than most. I don't want or need a 100+ employee company, or anywhere remotely close.
For those that think I can have a weekly youtube channel, podcast, field hundreds of phone calls and emails (sometimes per day, and with full time staff doing the same) and manage new parts and bike production whilst having a family with kids... well that's a bit nuts. But there may be other businesses in the mix I keep quiet.... for now.
I'll try to check in on the forum more often now that there's a Bolton section. I can also learn a lot from everyone here too. Anyone who says they know everything about ebikes surely doesn't!
