Ravi, The "Superpedestrian" suggestion has indications of an entry level product, which will not be available due to back-order status -until Fall 2014. So perhaps waiting just a bit longer will allow the e-bike industry to catch up with their advertising hype?Oops!!
Maybe superpedestrian is something that might interest you.!!
Actually I do believe that Leed and other entry level kit Companies have a viable product right now. The situation with Leed will be easily corrected with a bit more emphasis on bench checking each order before shipping. In Leed's case, there was an intense desire to do a fast and satisfying sale, where both me and the Company would have derived complete satisfaction. Leed tried but rushed a promotion that they were unable to properly fulfill.
I believe it was an avoidable situation. First, a company should only advertise realistic order and performance expectations. Accomplishing that, a company needs to have an absolute control over the quality of their items,. That can be accomplished with a steadfast ideology for checking and re-checking product quality.
In the case with Leed, they stated the 2nd wheel was bench- checked and performed properly. I believe them, but then the controller must not have been properly tested. Having a bad Controller is a bit more problematic due to the fact that it is attached to their battery system. Also, by the time my initial order was delivered, I was already more than a bit frustrated, having been led to believe the items were in stock and would ship within 48 hours. That sizes up the situation. Now I send back the goods and await credit to be applied to my PayPal account.
Ultimately I may wait or may try another kit package with Leed or elsewhere...
