I first posted on this thread on May 6th. It soon became a clear trend of multiple incidences of motor failure due to magnet adhesive defects. To Currie's credit, they have responded admirably and responsibily to their customers.
This last post, concerning a battery charge issue, causes me to raise a yellow flag of caution. I hope it is an operator error or a single incident. If this is a repeated incident, I would add a ** Not Recommended ** tag to the PAth review. Based upon the shear number of motor failures mentioned on this forum would cause me to look to another brand until the problems resolve themselves.
There are too many ebike mfgrs working hard to establish quality products, customer loyalty, and their best value pricing to allow the big box players a pass due to marketing, rave reviews, and/or lower cost.
IMO, Currie needs to show they are ready for the prime time ebike market, and not fall back into the reputation of the past. Time will tell.
idk.. twowheeler got stuck with a lemon, it appears.. My guess is that Currie will make it right with him.
The bigger problem, imo, is that he has no local dealer support. So every issue becomes a project with getting it repaired. With my two ebikes, one was an hour drive away.. no biggie.. And my second ebike was 20 minutes away...
Would never buy an ebike without local support. never.
