Innotrace is replacing controllers for European customers for ~$500 but won't do it for North America. Watt Wagons, exclusive retailer for North America, is only offering to replace controllers for their existing customers (for now). They will sell the motor + controller for $1400-1800:

Not sure why it's more expensive than just buying the motor for ~$600 from China and having Innotrace replace the controller. Would be less painful if Frey was able to sell bikes with the aftermarket controller, sounds like that may be in the works.
