I don't care about them and i have no time to hate them.

It should be as easy as 123 for the masteres, right


Fixing or building an ebike is not an easy task and sending a controller or motor to a dealer for repair (travelling time) is a waste of time if you can fix it by your own, that's also my point vue.

I agree w/ Ypedal. I have been completely 100% satisfied with the bike, customer service, warranty, price, etc. Seems to be the recurring theme- Everyone who owns one is happy and satisfied, and those who don't are the loud mouths...

Ypedal,
Your right, this just keeps going around in circles. As pointed out by other non-noob members, both sides have valid points. Let's just leave it at that

I would, but i'm not here to make money. I'm interested in getting more people on eBikes because i believe they are a great replacement for a car in a lot of conditions and that helps our environment. That involves pointing them in the direction of a quality solution that fits their budget ( most people are turned off by the price of the eBike and don't see it's value ).

I've thought about opening a shop though.
I'd never sell an electric bike that goes over 20mph though. That's asking for liability problems.

Pro-tips for noobs: Avoid BMS Battery like the plague | Charge RC Lipos to 4.15v, stop discharging at 3.5-3.6v | Use torque plates/arms! | Rear mounted hubs are always best
