Thanks for the heads up. Any specific size I should look for to fit this bike?

Suntour is great choice.... but Thudbuster looks attractive with more travel (76mm vs 48mm) but costly ($134 vs $89).Got mine from Walmart on-line for $89. I preferred the SunTour for easier weight adjustment than the Thudbuster
suntour sp12 ncx - Google Shopping
www.google.com
On Amazon for $27.00, not very good ratings but probably okay for someone like me that weighs 140lbs.

My girlfriend bought the SunTour I have tried it it makes a huge difference and is easy to adjust she bought one 350 mm long I would suggest looking for the 400 mm long one it gives you more room for adjustment. Hers is so nice I have ordered one. Buy it on AliExpress it's the best price. You have to look for 400mm but it's there.
I measured mine today, it is 31.6. I ordered the Zoom to see how it works. It has a 55mm travel, hopefully it does the job https://www.ebay.com/itm/ZOOM-MTB-M...-Suspension-New/192922995760?var=493101679214

So as previously mentioned I didn't like the battery rattling inside the frame housing. I purchased some 1/8 thick wood to see if that would work as a shim to put in the bottom between the battery and frame. Needless to say it was too thick. I then cut up a old plastic bin that I had. Still too thick. But if you look inside the cardboard box that the bikes came in there is two plastic pieces stuck to the side of the box for protection on vital parts. One of them is the perfect thickness. I put it between the battery and the frame and slid the battery in. It's on the side not the bottom WOW problem solved. No clunk no rattle.

Fantastic, thank you for that hint. Just got my email a few minutes ago saying the bike is on its way, can't wait. Thanks again for all the info.

You're welcome glad someone appreciates my OCD
Darceman, I sure want to thank you for the setup posts you have posted. The one on your girlfriends not shifting, derailer guard bent, sure narrowed my troubleshoot to nothing, went right to it instead of scratching my head. My headgear was a little crooked, went right to that too. Thanks for making my job easier in 100 degree heat.

Now I'm going to come up with a way to mount the fender brackets to the inside of the fender instead of the outside. I think if I use a acorn nuts on the outside and put the bracket on the inside it will look way better

Ok I got my bike today. FedEx placed the box outside the condo in the main entrance, not nice and no safe either.
I'm charging the battery at this very moment.
I think that I got unit from the prototype batch. But I'm not sure. Can someone tell me what's the diagonal of the computer screen?
I have some missing parts and some different parts. Check the photos. Also my fenders are made of steel, not alloy/aluminum.

Yes you're missing the derailer bracket...not that a big deal worth two bucks and your screen looks just like mine on your computer and your headlight looks slightly different not sure about the rest...

I founds 2 new videos I hadn't seen, but neither one was very helpful or insightful or told me anything I didn't know. 10 minutes each of "we got them, we like them" gushing. Still and all, the bikes are getting out there and people are impressed. I really also have to say I grudgingly admire their marketing/promotional strategy. Populating Youtube with videos from RV channels and "free" online reviewers is rather smart and, I would guess, cost effective. I remember someone asking on this forum for Court to review them, but I am willing to surmise that they will have no need to pay Court's "promotional fee" to get positive reviews.
The wait goes on....
EDIT: It is also not clear who gets to keep the bikes and who doesn't. The only people I've seen have the bikes taken from them were Squeaky Voice and her husband - and it was her birthday! The transparency of this strategy, in other words, leaves a little to be desired. I do look forward to seeing some of the knowledgeable people on this thread put up their reviews/impressions/videos.

Same screen I have. My fenders are also steel, I have seen others saying the same thing. I have not heard of anyone receiving aluminum fenders Here is a photo of the missing derailer guard. This is the part on mine that was bent in stopping the derailer from shifting past 5th gear. Pulled it out worked great and don't have to get the derailer aligned. Photo shows the derailer hitting the guard for others that may need the fix.

Somewhere in this old brain of mine is a recollection that the prototypes had a level of pedal assist other than 5 (can't remember if was 3 or 9). Maybe if you turn the bike on and you have an assist level that is not 5, it might be a prototype.

From the last video posted on YouTube on Lectric channel the screen seems bigger that's why a want to know the measurements of the other versions.

It's not bigger it just looks big in the video it's plenty big enough though
