I'll probably sell my kit soon, so let me know if anyone's interested in buying it. I'm in the UK.

Hello ES! We could use some help to get us past the finish line on building the new knowledgebase for the forum.
Can you donate? Please see our fundraising page. Thank you!

I checked how it was going with this.
No updates on the indiegogo and the usual stream of people complaining about never having a kit shipped.
Quite grim to see; the unit only needed minor alterations to be much better, but i think the timing of releasing it turned out bad.

I assume you are talking about mechanical alterations? What were they? I also believe they could have benefited from simpler and more transparent packaging and marketing. A "superman" pack (LOL) and a whole bunch of others, almost like ordering a BMW. Also, a myriad of adapters, etc.
Yes. They should make the dual chainring configuration the default because the current default is a basket case. And use a bigger idler. This would dramatically increase the ratio of people having a good time with the unit out of the box.
The electronics/software need a lot of work and last time i checked, buggy, incomplete, but useable.
Otherwise the motor itself is primo and 5 years later nobody has topped it in power density or efficiency. Construction quality of it is great.
The marketing could use serious work and the liberal use of AI cheapens the appearance.
The DLC factor is off-putting too. Especially since i paid for it and the motor was 400w peak short of what was promised.

It looks like they have a new website. So i'm guessing they are still in business.
The website is clearly AI generated but less obnoxious now.
I imagine this means they're sitll alive.
Just today i discovered a workaround for the crank limitation length problem with this kit.
Revel propulsion sells a freewheel unit that allows you to bolt something like a BBS02 style crank after it. This opens up the possibility to buy 175mm BBSxx style cranks with variable Q factors from this company:
Delta Crank JIS
PaulD contacted. If this works out, this is the motor of choice for my upright bike and it would be worth buying a second unit.
