i count roughly 75 in that picture.How many are in this production run?
I have been waiting 2 months for 1 frame, good luck with that.

Yes, it takes at least 2 months from the time we order the frames until we can send them to paint. We are hyper busy these days and even with the incessant complaints and forum trolling, we are going to make your bike right.
Here are the frames mid way through paint. Your swap is one of the 600 getting painted now. We need to flag and pull it off the line to have prepped to get swapped out so your bike can use the 9FET controller and gain the extra 2 mph when using the throttle.
Those look like OceanCurrent frames.Those frames look a little different. Beefier. Which is great. Are those the XL frames?
I noticed that as well. It's surprising if that's the weak point since it seems that it'd be the strong point. Since it looks like they are about ready to pack and slow ship I'm hoping that they'll be here by mid-November.It looks like they dropped the triangular weldment that tied the top, seat tube and seat stays together. Could that have been the weak point that was causing problems? Or maybe it required too much manufacturing time.
I’m leaning towards manufacturing time reduction. In addition to the CNC time to produce each part, it required four weld beads (seat post annular weld, top tube butt weld, and the two seat stay welds). This new version uses the seat tube as a base, and the other 3 elements are welded to it. Thus you can make 3 beefy welds right up next to the seat tube, which is a tried and true method. With the triangular original piece, the welds (not counting the seat tube annular weld) would have been an inch or so distant from the seat tube, and caused a stress riser that proved weak under repeated loading.I noticed that as well.

The ultra with a 52t front sprocket would do well above 35 mph at 48v depending on the controller of course. With a 30 amp controller on the ultra the Hyperfat May have a chance if it could catch it. Depending on the rider. But I think the Hyperfat would have it on maintenance. That's on flat ground of course. On trails it would be a whole different bag of beans.It would be fun to have a shootout between the Hyperfat and the Biktrix Juggernaut Ultra.
Your also talking about $800 difference for the 17 amp version of the ultra. And I don't know if you can get the 52t crankset.It would be fun to have a shootout between the Hyperfat and the Biktrix Juggernaut Ultra.

In a drag race off the showroom floor I would have to take the Hyperfat, if it ever makes it to the showroom, j.s.And then add in fenders and rack to the cost of the Hyperfat. As far as top speed, I have no desire to go 35 mph! My main thing is climbing hills and riding into stiff winds. I'm sure the Hyperfat will be a great bike ,too.
