If NA folks would stop buying cheap (low quality) product from China, China manufacturers would improve quality. It's not a Chicken-Egg thing. China is happy to sell to ignorant consumers. China makes lots of high quality stuff already.

I remember when I opened my package it said something about it being constructed in the united states. I assume the actual alloy parts were not, and it was simply assembled and welded here. You're right I couldn't find anything on their website after a quick glance, but they are definitely based in FL. More importantly, I don't respect the made in america obsession as much as other people [Im not implicating anyone, you yourself say quality would improve in china], although it's usually a motivator to buy something it's not intrinsically morally better or something. it's just often better quality, ect, not better ''because". Ok, rather than preach an annoyance at taking a (imo) misguided moral view on it (which really no one even told me, so I'm definetly preeching) I'll take a look and see if my pamphlet from the bike is somewhere home. If i don't find it, you can feel free to assume whatever, including that the bikes are not make in NA.
New to endless-sphere? Notice a lot of signatures recommending Ebike.ca? That's because it's the best place for a quality and manageable, (but still 'real'), first build. Justin is a solid supporter of electric bike development, and a good source of equipment.
My hat off a thousand times to the green people that effectively run this forum. The ES Mods are superb.
